I have to admit it has been a super productive couple in weeks in my fibre world and really I couldn’t be happier. I finally feel like I am reaching some sort of balance in my knitting life again (though I think some people might use the word obsession instead of balance). But the point is there has been progress in the last two weeks and I am very happy about it.
Two sets of garlands have been completed!!!!
And that means that two Christmas gifts are finished. The third has been cast on and with any luck the stars will be finished by the weekend. I have no illusions about finishing the whole things this week. But if the stars are finished I will consider it a victory.
My SIL’s 2013 Christmas socks are finished and though they were still on the needles until after Christmas Day, we haven’t seen her yet as she and her husband were away over the holidays. Since we haven’t exchanged our gifts yet, I do not consider the socks late as they were finished prior to getting together and I will not be panicking the night before we see them..
Vivid is coming along at record break neck speed. I have finished six squares in the last two weeks and that means that there are only six squares left to complete. Then I have to put the whole thing together, but I’m willing to take this one step at a time.
And finally the mittens. I’ve almost made it to the last colour change on the first mitt. It’s not an updated photo, but they are still getting love.
So overall, I have nothing to complain about. There’s been fibre and a lot of it. Now somehow this week I need to find some time with my spinning wheel and all will be right with the world.
I hope everyone else had a lovely fibre filled week.

Love the garlands, going to try to do my own for next year. The colours in those mittens are gorgeous and they look nice and cosy!

Love the garlands! Those are so lovely. What yarn did you use? And those mittens are like my dream of being a knitter….if I could ever make those I would feel I had “arrived”. They are beautiful. Good job on the Christmas gifts…I’m still making some but they know with me it is the 12 months of Christmas…not the 12 days. You go girl!

It’s all just sock yarn scraps. Not sure of all the types.

Those garlands and projects are really lovely. I love the colours you’ve chosen. I’ve had a wonderful fibrey few days as well. There’s nothing like some concentrated time in knitting world. 🙂

Oh wow! I am totally in love with those garlands. Your colors are magnificent and right up my alley– I have marked it on Rav in my favorites. Everything else looks great too–but I admit, I am bit obsessed with the stars!
