The Annual CogKnitive Mother Bear project CAL/KAL will run from Jan1, 2013 until I get to Stitches West in late February. Get your materials ready!

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle:

Still in Progress:

The Tehachapi Project Shawl. In part one of the D chart section!

Bear #27 for the CAL/KAL.

Scraptacular 3 and Son of Scraptacular (IV) are back in production.

 

Finished:

 

Mittens for the Little Guy whipped up from his choice of yarn and color--Vanna's Choice, honey--during last week's snow storm. I added initials and a cord crocheted to go through neck and arms of coat so that he cannot lose the mittens easily. This prompted a positive comment from the designer, Ann Budd!

Dizzy Blondes:

Finished a single from Red Fish Dye Works' 50/50 SF Merino and Silk on the Jensen.

Started a random batt of silvery brown alpaca that I just had lying in stash--not one of my herd.

Strategy:
Hypersensitive folks: when in doubt, stick to a routine and use the To-do list/Worry Workbook.

Something I Really Like:
My new bag from Namaste and the Loopy Ewe! The Mini-Messenger, which is anything but mini.

Put A  Lid On It:
Ringing in the New Year, while trying not to strangle the Mallard over eggplant pickle.

Blather:
Mother Bear CAL/KAL update., looking forward to Stitches West, WAAAHHH! for busy.
