Time flies...

Well, finally the Rowan Big Wool cardi from book 40 is finished! I did cop out and my Mum did the button loops and covers while I was doing her tax return. I think actually she got the better deal. I am really pleased with it, it fits perfectly and we are showing it off in the shop window this week.
I am thinking about starting my christmas knitting. All my friends are getting Mason-Dixon dishcloths. I am going to attempt to match the colours to their kitchens, but we'll see...
We have some local Jacob's fleece in the shop which my Dad really likes so I'm going to knit him 'Avast' from the new Knitty. I am quite excited about doing the border and knitting it in one piece. A challenge is always good. That will be my home knitting once I've finished the Icelandic jumper. I'm on the 2nd sleeve so it shouldn't be too long now although the yoke probably takes as long as the rest put together!
I've started collecting Kureyon to make the gorgeous afghan in this issue of Knitty. I am always anti knitting squares because I think it will be boring but I love knitting anything Noro because of the colours so I think I can stick it out.
