I'm still working on this:
Not a great picture, but it's 6 a.m. I haven't had enough caffeine yet. I finished the collar and button band. As it is 2x2 rib it's gonna take some serious blocking, but I really like the short row "collar" around the neck. The sleeve is taking forever. I keep trying it on and it doesn't seem to get any longer so I magic loop some more and try it on again. How am I going to stand a second sleeve? I'm using my new Knit Picks options needle set I received for my birthday from the boys and I really like it.
Of course there is Christmas knitting.
One mary jane ballet slipper for my niece. I am using Galway and a Fiber Trends pattern. But now I have to make another one. They are quick though.
I've also been finishing something for Kaye, my Handmade Gift Swap partner. I have to get stuff in the mail to her today, but I can show you what I sent after she receives it. Kaye, I'm warning you right now there is more gift stuff than handmade in the package. I've been a slow knitter lately.
So there it is. My knitting. I'm still doing it but with work and Thanksgiving and my house conspiring to make me nuts, I haven't been all that prolific with the FOs lately.

Wow! They're ballet slippers, and they're pink... little girl heaven!
And I love the colours on the jacket/cardigan. (Sorry, lazy lurker here - not doing my research on past posts...)
I made that sweater a while back and the collar/button band drove me absolutely CRAZY! don't get me wrong - I loved the short row collar too; it was the picking up of stitches. The first time, I picked up how many the pattern says, FROG, pick up more, FROG, pick up even more! Then it still required some heavy blocking! But I do love the finished sweater. Your's is looking lovely.
Love the sweater! It's just pretty as can be. The slippers are adorable!
I've been wanting to make some felted ballet slippers. I'll have to keep that pattern in mind. Was it pretty easy to follow?
As much as we try to get some knitting in our lives,life gets in the way! I like reading your blog even when it's not all knitting! It's a good thing I'm not doing any holiday knitting this year. I'd have to wrap up some I.O.U's!
LOL - if I had to have knitting content everytime I posted, I'd be outta the blogging totally! Your projects look great - sending you perseverance.
Nice colors in the cardigan. There's no law that you have to have knitting content every time.
Well you are ahead of me Kate....
I don't have your package in the mail yet...I hope that is ok?
Hubby has been gone since tuesday and what with me being a master procrastinator, I haven't yet finished what I want to make for you. I'm shooting for it to be in the mail by Tuesday. I hope it then gets to you on time.
Don't worry about the handmade content. Anything gifty will be stupendous :)
I haven't finished any of the knitting projects that I have on the kneedles. And I've started something new!
Oh, you are miles and miles ahead of me on the knitting.
I do like the sweater! And the ballet slippers? To die for! I'm perusing slipper patterns right now and that might be something interesting in grown up Sheepie size...
