Too Many WIPS
...This month is now half over and Christmas is moving up fast and my WIP pile is not going down much. I still have several Christmas gifts to make and even more packages that need wrapping.
I am making loomed washcloths for my family members. They are such fun! I wrapping the cloths around a bar of homemade soap (not made by me - time is too short) but they are turning out pretty great.
...Our KWON group is having a mini loomed hats exchange. We are looming tiny hats for tree ornaments and then sending them to each other for Christmas. I have almost finished my hats and am looking forward to exchanging. What fun!
...I did my knitted hats finished for the soldiers and sent off to Ellen this month. This was our last shipment for this year since it takes so long for the items to get to the guys and gals over there. We sent tiny handmade Christmas ornaments too so they would have something for the holidays. I am so proud of everyone that is serving over there and hold them in my prayers - as well as their families that will have to celebrate this Christmas without them. God bless them all!
...I have the blankets cut out for the grandkids. I am making each one of them a fleece blanket and then embroidering their initials and some little pictures on them. They all love to wrap up in a blankie to watch tv so I thought they would enjoy these.
...Have a happy Thanksgiving all and blessings!

New Month Has Arrived
Well, another month has passed and we are that much closer to Christmas. Boy, I really need to get started on my Christmas presents or I will be knitting on Christmas eve.
I did get alot accomplished this month though, I finished my blankets and hats and got the TTT shipment to the hositals. I mailed a package to Cpt. Heath for the Iraq babies and mailed my package to Ellen for Ship Support. I just finished the crochet cloche hats for the church bazaar and they turned out very nice.
I started on my Christmas Loomed Mini hats for the KWON hat swap and did this week's mystery crochet pattern for my crochet group. Now that I have those completed I can finish up my November Ship Support items and I can do something for myself.
I bought this delicious wool at my LYS and I am going to make myself a felted hat. I think that I will use the pattern from Knitpicks as I really love the way it looks and I have seen several hats made with that pattern.
I will post a photo when I get it completed. My market bag is still in progress along with a loomed prayer shawl and a prayer shawl on the needles. So many WIP...so little time. Oh, life is just like yarn - it continues to unravel. :)
Have a great week all - Happy Knitting :)
