It was a great weekend for project accomplishment!

I found:

1. The button I needed to finished my cropped sweater (pictures soon!)
   
2. I finished my mom's Christmas Scarf (which I can't post pictures of until after the holidays)
   
3. I finished another "unidentifiable" Christmas project
   

I also got a nice trip into Jefferson Stitches in Naperville, IL with Julie. I wish they had a website, because I would link to it! Suffice it to say that they are a wonderful store with very helpful people and they are totally worth the long trip out to the burbs. I got yarn for two new projects, a felted bag and another project that must go nameless! Then Julie and I spent some time doing our own version of "Stich n' Bitch" at her house. Nothing like knitting with good company!

The nameless project will be worked using Debbie Bliss Baby Casmerino. I've already cast it on because the stuff has such an incredible feel and texture I couldn't wait.

I also invested in a lovely pattern book called Comforts of Home by Erika Knight (published by Fiber Studio Press). This book has all sorts of lovely contemporary home furnishings type patterns, including baskets made out of hardware store string!

Finally, I've decided that I need to spend some time developing better knitting form. I spent sometime last night trying to knit "Continental" the correct way. I already hold my yarn in my left hand (this is the way I learned from my knitting guru Judy) but I never really learned how to use the yarn efficiently. I think I could eventually get the hang of the knit stitch, but perling is going to be tough going!
