Goodness it is cold outside. I am just thankful we do not have all that snow down here in the south. A little snow around Christmas time would be neat though.
This is a picture of the progress I have made on the Philosopher's Wool sweater so far. I have been trying to accomplish one pattern section a day. The further along I get with this project the happier I am that I substituted a periwinkle blue for the darker purple heather normally used with this color way. One of the nice things about these PW sweaters is there is no way to mess them up, color wise that is. I should be able to complete this project before Christmas at this rate. I am not in any hurry though as I am having fun knitting this sweater. I completed the All Around Companion bag as well. I just need to photograph the bag and felt it. I am hoping Mare's felting pixies are on my side. I will post a bit about that later in the week.
I am still excited about knitting Astrid
With Mare. If anyone else is interested, take a lok at her site. Nothing else new on the knitting front my way. All for now.
oh no, the pixies are not mine : ) tho they are sitting on my shoulders now giggling. they had great fun with a machine knitted swatch this weekend.
i adore felt. yes i do.
i think karen is going to join us. if we don't get many a-longers, we will just have to knit up more versions of the pattern our own selves. poor us : )
off to the beach. check back in thursday xo

You will finish by Christmas? WOW! Your knitting is lovely and you are FAST. Your dad looks like he was a wonderful, warm man. He reminded me of Santa when I first saw him. Nice Blog - I'll be sure to visit again. :)
