There was the super secret project, also known as flamingo.
It is done. I used two small yellow buttons and some black yarn for eyes. It is pretty good sized and I look forward to giving it to the planned recipient.
I had to redo the body a few times do to lack of enough fluffy yarn.
January last year I made a hat to match a scarf I had made years before that. Last month I decided to make matching gloves. So now he a full set. The pattern for the gloves will be posted later.
Also, I got some yarn and needles from a friend who had tried to take up knitting but had given up. So I took the yarn and the needles and designed a new scarf.
I will also be posting the pattern for this, but not on the blog. It will be a Ravelry exclusive.
I sent it to my friend to be a holiday gift. She was happy to see the yarn again.
And there there were the two hats I made, which I then sent off as gifts for the niece I met earlier this year for the first time. I have been told she wears it to bed and is and very thrilled with it.
The holiday knitting was kicked up further when a coworker made some requests. She bought the yarn and I did the knitting.
Add to that the progress I have made on the blanket from a few years back and "Whala" (or however you spell it) you have the signs of a busy knitter!
