Knitting for Charities, and More!

Christmas knitting is chaotic. That right there is enough to throw any knitter over-the edge. I am currently working on my lace scarf, after tearing it out and re-doing it. I am also working on the ugliest scarf you'll ever see, along with my sweater. And fitting in charity knitting as well.

In Progress
Lace scarf: 5/16 rows for bottom of lace pattern
Ugliest scarf: About 85% of the way done
Drops Sweater: Done with the body!

News!:
It's my 17th bday on Wednesday, and my mom took me shopping on Sunday for my secret Present, a new camera! I got the new Cannon Powershot A590 with Image Stabalizer, and I love it! This is also the explanation for the pictures. I have a camera, so no more picture-less posts!


My Pile O' Charity Knitting:

I'm a Sickie...

I'm sick today. I started feeling under the weather on Sunday (yesterday). It has given me time to finish up my swatch kit and textiles homework though. However, I am completely bummed because we were supposed to start learning about Rayon and Acetate today. For some reason, I have always been infatuated with rayon, it's some kind of un-explainable illness, I guess you could say.

As for knitting, I am almost done with the body of my jumper. I am done with the front, and am finishing up the back. As soon as I am done with the body, I must start and finish the drops lace scarf. I have chosen Misti Alpaca Lace (100% Baby Alpaca) yarn for this particular project. I have a beautiful grayish purple to knit it with too.

My poor spinning wheel is still injured, I need some wood glue to fix it up. Then I can do some more spinning and post pictures of some handsome yarn.
