Successful Rush Job

Well, last night I decided that I would take on one more secret Christmas present. It was my first stab at designing something on my own. It is very simple, but I think it worked out well. I used Stacy Charles Rondo in Color 610 I had picked up a couple of balls of this ribbon yarn over the summer and had no idea what to do with it. My secret project is meant to complement a Carribean cruise, so I wanted something lightweight, airy and with light-tropical colors.

This was one of the first times that my stash came to my rescue. Normally I know exactly what I am going to do with all the yarn I buy.

I have to say, sometimes I absolutely ADORE big needles. On size 15s, my project came together in 4-5 hours. I'll put up the picture (and the pattern) after the holidays.

In "honor" of my record knitting time for a project, I decided to take stock of my WIPs and post them at the top of my BLOG. I really need to get to work on my Arans!
