Done! The Sekret Knitting project for February is done and the samples are headed out via express mail. I finished up the knitting Wednesday p.m. (which I count pretty daggone good, considering I work full time, had a life, and didn't get the yarn until the prior week's Wednesday). I wove in ends, the samples had a nice bath, and were packed up and out this a.m. I can't wait for the project to be announce-able. I'm really happy with this one!
This weekend, I'm going to try to get regrouped on a few things. I'm still dyeing like crazy for the Dallas/Ft. Worth show. The bins are slowly filling up, but I've definitely got a ways to go. The last small order of some of the bases I needed should be here Monday, so I'm going to get things I've gotten dyed tagged and ready to go, so I can start in again on getting ready for the show.
While I do have another project with a deadline in the next month or so, it's more like a month and not like a week, which is a big difference. I have the yarn for that ready to go (it's one of my shop yarns so that made it easy!) and will get it wound into cakes and probably start that project this weekend as well, but I do need to get crackin' again on the Froggie baby gift AND D has a coworker whose wife is also due soon with their second wee one, and he has asked for a knitted gift for them too. (I probably won't have that done before that baby arrives, but I'm shooting for a size 1-year, so if they get it a little late, it'll be okay.)
Finally, I'm going to give myself some play time this weekend and hopefully get a chance to get some spinning done. I've got a short queue of 3 things I'd like get spun up before the end of March, all of which are fun, relaxing spins, so I'll decide where I want to start with those this weekend too.
And just because, a few shots of my Sammy taken over Thanksgiving when my BIL, SIL and nephews were here. My BIL was kind enough to send me some. The last one is my personal favorite.
All for now.....
Awwww - that photo of you and Sammy is wonderful.
