On my Needles

I thought I would share what projects I am currently working on, and the ones I intend to finish this month!

Project #1: Christmas Knit for Mom

This one I had some problems actually getting going. I planned to have them done before Christmas, but ended up delivering my daughter instead, so not a lot of knitting happened right before Christmas. Then I hit another road block, since the yarn I was using was not cooperating with me- the color pooling was awful and making these nasty stripes, so I ended up trying a couple different things and ripping it out and restarting about 5 times. I finally changed needle sizes, and while I am still getting some odd pooling, its a spiral instead of creepy stripes and I am much happier with it. (due to the nature of the internet, I am leaving out the specifics on this project so Mom doesn't see it!)

Project #2: Something for Me

I am working on a cabled sweater for myself. Probably will not be done anytime in the near future, as I have huge project ADD, but someday it will be awesome. :)

Project #3: Hexipuff Blanket

This one is part of the 366 in 2012 Ravelry project, where you make one hexipuff for the quilt per day. I'm behind, but not horribly behind. Someday this will be a cute little quilt for baby girl! :)
