Happy Holidays!!

The husband and the dog and I are at my brother-in-law's house. The dog is asleep in his kennel, the boys are playing computer games, and I'm finishing up some last-minute Christmas gifts (last year I started my gifts on November 1st and this year I started the day before yesterday!) to Christmas music on iTunes. It's a sunny day here but cold - we seem to have brought the frost with us.


Our Christmas tree this year, taken last week.

Tomorrow we will visit grandparents and other family.

Have a peaceful holiday filled with warm fuzzies (of the yarn variety or of the emotional kind)!

Twig!

I thought I'd pop out from under my Production Crochet rock (I'm doing a couple of projects for Robyn Chachula) and let you take a peek at Twig!



Twig is a horizontal-ribbed cardigan with waist shaping and a vertical waist-ribbing that cinches the waist in a bit visually.



I was able to make the sample in my size, in Malabrigo Silky Merino (in the Redwood colorway) which works up beautifully and feels great as well! These photos don't do it justice; I took them in my bathroom of all places, since the heat lamp is nice and bright and I could only take photos in the evening. As a result, it's a little yellow. But you get the idea, anyway.



Look for it in the new issue of Tension Magazine, due out this month.
