It feels like FOREVER since we were all together...so I made the team tell me all about what they have been up to while we were on break. It's so fun to see what they have been working on.

I tried very hard to finish this gift for Christmas but didn't quite make it, so I finished him during break. He's Tiny the Aviator Squirrel by Gretel Crespo. I used RicorumiDK to make him.
When the squirrel was finished, my focus went back to a sweater I'm making out of Amy Herzog's book The Ultimate Sweater Book. I am knitting the basic cardigan with drop shoulders. I am using Yarnalia yarn in Wonder. I'm nearly done and looking forward to my next project.
SHERRI
I finally finished my Gatekeeper sweater! I'm so glad I chose this project for my first colorwork sweater. The Patagonia wool is actually light and pretty breathable which is a major plus for me! With so many color choices, you can't go wrong!
ELENA
This is the Deadite Ash cross-stitch pattern by StitchyBones on Etsy. It's a character from one of my favorite scary movies and it's made up of 6,879 stitches! As you can see, I've still got a long way to go but I'm really enjoying how it's turning out!

During my holiday break, I didn’t have much time to sit and contemplate a complicated pattern so I stuck to an easy ongoing knitting project. Believe it or not I’m working on another “I Quilt Too Lap Blanket”. I absolutely love this pattern and it makes for a calming easy project that’s a no-brainer once you memorize the pattern. I traveled down to California to celebrate Christmas with family and it was easy to pack in my carry-on and pull out and work on. I’m using Rainier Roses mini skeins. Here are some of the squares that I’ve completed.

I finished a sweater in 12 days!!! And I'm talking a SWEATER...long sleeve and long torso (it's called the Creekside Pullover)!!!! I usually put the body on hold while I knit the sleeves then finish the body with whatever yarn I have left over...but I was SUPER sure that I would have MORE than enough yarn. I was finishing the 2nd sleeve and THIS is how much yarn I had leftover at the end. Like this is the ONLY yarn I have left from 7 skeins!!! I'm weaving in ends and blocking today...so I'll show pics tomorrow!
I also knit on a shawl...which I'll share next week (I'm hoping to be done by then!)
Hope you had a wonderful holiday and we are so excited for 2025!!
