There’s Been Knitting

Sorry about the big silence last week. My parents were visiting and I had to spend less time on the computer and more time making it look I was doing housework or being busy. I did get a lot of knitting time in, with a couple of completed projects to show for it.

I made a dishcloth – woohoo! No stunning feat of knitting prowess here, just a stash of cheap yarn and the need to get out from under the massive projects I’ve undertaken of late. Very quick, very satisfying. You can find the pattern here: Ballband Dishcloth. That’s the yarn company’s actual website, but aren’t my pictures way better?

And then I started this:

No, not a ghost with a hat, but a snowman without a scarf. I’m still working on the scarf, then I’ll show you the finished product. He’s just too cute not to share right now.

But before I started either of those projects, I finished something that is a surprise, so if your name is Jenn and you had a baby on Christmas Eve, you need to click away right now since this is the last thing in this post, or at least act surprised when you see this in person.
