Progress!

I have been making some headway on some projects, others seem to be slightly stalled, which means I might have to re-evaluate the Christmas plan for some things.

Look at what the lovely USPS carrier brought to me yesterday from Elann.com :)



I was most excited by the lovely black mohair blend that I bought to for the Lo-Tech Sweat that I plan on making in January - for myself!!!! Now, keeping it off the needles until then, well, that will be a challenge! Take a look:



And with the new yarn, I couldn't wait to get started on Haiku for my neice, Madison. She's so cute and I think she will look lovely in the pretty lavendar color. So far I have the first side started, and am working on the box stitch. Took me a little bit to get the hang of the box stitch but now I seem to be cruising right along.



I've been plowing away at the FlatKnit Mitts from _The Knit Stitch_ and I really love them. The pair seems to fly off the needles, heck, I haven't even had a chance to mention that I had started them, and now they are almost finished. The only thing that is a bit is that they seem to be quite large. They fit my dh's hands pretty good, so I may just try and tweak the pattern a bit. Still trying to decide if I want to try the FlatKnit Hat that coordinates. I may have to wait on that.



And then there are those ties.....tell me, why did I start them??? I am crazy?? They are sooooo slow going, although maybe I just need to sit down and bang out a few good inches on each of them, maybe.



I think that is all for now. Back to the needles.
