Well, I was out of town for a week, and came back to find a nice parcel waiting for me! My yarn from Yarntopia is here and ready for the start of Mystic Ice. I love the colour of Silk Socks and am looking forward to knitting with it. I also got a couple of extra colours, just in case I changed my mind ... and because one can never have too much yarn.
But my knitting plans for my time away didn't materialise and so I am not even close to having my Da Vinci shawl finished, though I have started work on Chart 5 -- the final chart. I have also completed two pairs of baby booties -- my first knitted booties ever. One pair has already been given to the expectant grandmother. The other pair is waiting for a little boy's arrival in December (or whenever he decides it is time to appear!)
I saw a suggestion for knitting mini socks and filling them as mini Christmas stockings, but have not yet had the chance, or is it the inclination, or possibly both the time and the inclination, the pattern and the yarn all at the same time.
But really, November 22 is almost upon us, so if I do find the time, I think that Da Vinci should get the attention so that I can begin Mystic Ice with no guilt. Wish me luck -- these rows are taking a little longer now that there's almost 400 stitches on my needles!
