Christmas Gifts

It's been a few weeks since I've posted - there have been family gatherings, work, Thanksgiving, basketball games, sewing, shopping, etc, etc.  I have been working on a few knitting projects yet though.  Two of them are supposed to be Christmas gifts so I had better hurry!

The ISU cardinal and gold socks are my take along project, getting longer but don't have to be done for Christmas.

The orange Boneyard shawl is getting bigger, it is for a gift but I think I'll be able to get it done.

The sweater (which looks like it will fit a doll in the photo!) was just started last week and I'm ready to start on the bottom ribbing part.  It's super bulky yarn and large needles so it knits up very quickly.  The yarn is Rowan Drift and the pattern is Weekend Pullover.  I was able to get the yarn at 50% off when a store closed last year.

No ice here but very cold, I think it will be a good weekend to stay home and knit!

      I like the yarn. It's not quite as soft as some merino wool's but still has a nice feel and the colors are really pretty. It's hard to get a photo that show the gold/brown shading in the yarn.
