December 2007 KAL - Partridge

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The last KAL was beautiful! It’s a partridge in a pear tree, which makes it appropriate for Christmas, but I made it in pink and wish it was red or green! LOL! I think I’ll be making another one! Mine will be used for a towel, more, I think, since it’s about 14″ wide and 13″ high.

My market bag, Elisa’s Nest Tote, is now 16″ long, of the 24″ that is required. I’m using Araucania Patagonia Nature Cotton, in pink and blue, which is color #213, with #9 needles.

Finished dishcloths

I’m way behind on posting! I’ve just been so busy with other stuff.

Squirrel dishcloth from the November dishcloth kal. We were supposed to use brown, but I just used soft teal, because that is what I had in the house. It was Sugar N Cream yarn.2007novkal-squirrel.jpg

Mid-November KAL gave us 2 cloths, one of which says, “Friend” and one that says, “My Pal.”

This one is for a secret pal. She will get it tomorrow night. It was fun making candy canes! Pattern purchased from Harvest Moon Christmas Cottage.

So, I’ve been busy knitting! Plus, I started a market bag, too, out of some cotton yarn that comes from Chile and has some pink and some blue throughout the fibers. I need to take a picture of that one.

We also had our first snowstorm, over the weekend. We got about 4-6 inches. Then it got warm and sloppy on Sunday, so we make all kinds of footprints in the snow, that are now frozen. It’s so hard to walk in the snow, in the backyard, now. Argh. Jasmine can move much faster than I can! It’s supposed to be cold, over the next week or so, too. So, conditions are not going to improve much.
