I’ve finally decided what to do with the Country Lapghan I’m trying to finish. I’m on the last of 5 strips that will be seamed shortly. Thank goodness. I’ve been working on this project since last January when I began knitting. And I’ve always had it in my head that this lapghan would be donated to a charity. I just didn’t know which one. After thinking long and hard about it, I’ve finally decided it will be donated to Project Linus. I just have to make contact with the local chapter coordinator to see what needs to be done. But I will wait till I’ve completed the blanket first. And oh, you have no idea how much I look forward to completing this project. LOL!

The neckwarmer I mentioned is complete. Here is the final product:
I didn’t use a pattern to make this and I’m mighty proud. I used my husband as a guide to know how large to make it. He is about the same size as my friend.

A friend of mine requested a neckwarmer last year. So I finally got some yarn and began working on it last night. I’m not using a pattern per say, but I cast on 26 stitches and am working in the sailor’s rib pattern. So far it is looking very nice and I think it will be warm enough. I will post a photo when it is completed. I’m knitting it in Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky, the color is charcoal to match his leather jacket and helmet (he wants it to wear when he rides his Harley).

Since I finished Sigma, I have some left over yarn. It’s 100% mercerized cotton. I’ve got almost 3 complete balls at 74 yds per ball. I’m pretty sure I have at least 148 yds. But I’m unsure of what to do with it. Would it be enough for maybe some socks? Colorway is a brilliant light green since I used it for a tank top back in the summer. Hmm, anyone know of any sock patterns that would work with 100% mercerized cotton?

I was determined to figure it out and I got it. It just took some paying attention to detail. Ha! I didn’t get too far, but at least the ribbed hem of the front of Chamomile is done. And it looks pretty good. I’ve also done the first stocking stitch row, so I can say I’ve also switched to the larger needles. Now I’m pumped about working on it. I’ve switched all my current projects to a different bag so they are all together now instead of in 3-4 different bags. With all the traveling I’m doing in the next couple of weeks, it will make it easier to grab my knitting to go.
