Are y'all working on any gifts? What are you making? I have in progress three gift boxes for others. Two for fellow fiber artists that I am loading up with goodies. Including yarn from my stash. One for my sisters with 3D printed trinkets. At the same time, I have a ball of yarn to find a pattern for that my sister selected. It's about 730 meters, of a merino wool and silk blend. It is fingering weight. She picked this color from my stash and this is all I have. She asked for a work friendly shawl or wrap. So I am planning to cast on a last shawl. I have four free patterns I am looking at for that. This swallowtail shawl is my first choice. I have to read through the pattern to make sure. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/swallowtail-shawl [knit] If I have time I will make a wrap for my niece. This is the yarn she selected. It's a Superwash Merino Wool, Nylon, Stellina blend in sock weight. Since this is only 438 yards I may add a second color to stretch it a bit or make the work thicker so it works up faster. Here's my idea for that one. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ginkgo-shoulderette-shawl [knit] And just because I am a glutton for punishment I have a 6-day Star Blanket past due for a baby delivered right after I had surgery. This is that one. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/6-day-star-blanket I have a bamboo cotton blend for this one. [crochet]

I am ripping out 60 rows of knitting. I am annoyed. I don't care what you call it. Blah. Edit: Done! 6,300 stitches, two colors. Tiny bit of waste where my woven in ends felted. Not bad. I feel like that woven in ends binding was very secure! Off to get more yarn for this.
