Get ready to be amazed!

This calls for cake!

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “It took her how long to finish those? All they are is knitting! Oh, honey, that’s just sad!” Yeah, well, maybe it was because they’re nothing but knitting. Knitting on tiny needles. Around and around. I don’t know what I was thinking. The next socks are going to be All About Texture. ‘Cept, I may make some thrummed mittens next. I gotta have something that matches my shockingly bright new coat. Plus, everyone else is doing it. But don’t take my word for it, Google. Nobody mention that I live on the Gulf Coast. I don’t want to hear it. It gets cold here I SWEAR.

I’ve also made quite a bit of headway on my Vintage Sweater (a.k.a. Style No. 710-65).

A back and a front and a half.

And I lied to you before. It’s Bernat who made Nylo Germantown, not Bear Brand. I know, I know, but at least I am Owning My Mistakes. Speaking of mistakes, I did have to pull back several inches of the left front because I was watching TV and not keeping count. A pox on you CSI! But really, people: DNA from a finger smear? Ewwww.

One last thing and then you can go. We came back from Mary Esther (A pox on you Ivan!) before one of my yarn orders arrived so the Post Office had been holding on to it. When we were down there the other weekend (the first time we had been there when the PO was open) I ran over to pick it up. It is every bit as bright as I thought. Mom’s coming Monday for Thanksgiving so we ought to be able to get a good start on her First Sweater.
