Time to look around the knit-along and see the Haydens!

Karen has finished one for her, and one for her daughter. You’ll need to scroll down to December 12th. Cute! And, drum roll please…. The one, the only, the charming and lovely Miss Hayden has completed her Hayden! (I really get a kick out of that). Ignore the fact that her picture is blurry. This is really cool.

Anyone else have anything to report?

So, I worked on my mohair flower at the birthday party yesterday. I finished all five petals. It’s cute.

Notice how the variegation in the petals nearly all match? That wasn’t remotely intentional. It kind of wigs me out, actually.

I now have ten ends to weave in. I need to connect the petals, create some sort of bobble thing for the center, and knit a leaf. I probably could have completed it, but I spent 5 hours baking gingerbread houses yesterday with my friend Jennifer. Yes, it was insane. We mixed 3 double batches of dough. We cut and baked 24 houses, and then some neighbor girls came over to assist, and I had them start on the miniature trees, reindeer, santas and sleighs, stars, snowflakes, etc. we use for landscape enhancement. I have no kitchen table right now. I have a mountain of gingerbread.

Mom just called as I was about to post this entry, and said that she loves her sweater! (Huge sigh of relief). I’m SO glad. She is going to have a picture taken so I can post it. I’m glad I made the smallest size. The width came up a little smaller than the pattern measurements, and she said it is still a tad roomy. (Must be nice). Some of you may recall, I was going back and forth as to which size to make. But enough of that.

WOO-HOO! The sweater fits!
