I finished Amelia’s hat last night. will post more details and photos tomorrow. (the camera batteries died). so, I cast on for BIL’s hat. I’m making Tychus from knitty in 4 colors - I made it to the second color and decided it was going to be more yarn than I’d want to deal with right now, so we’ll continue tomorrow.

in WIPs news…
there is some progress being made!
* dh’s HP scarf now has 15 stripes. I made it thru about 1/3 of the yellow stripe on the commute today.
* the niece’s tank top finally has the crochet edging added. I picked up the stitches for the ruffle, and realized I’m confused by my copy of the end of the instructions, so I’m waiting for the library to tell me it’s in so I can double check it and finish it.
* the sock class has ended. and so has any progress on the sock. I made it thru the short row heel and haven’t touched it since. I’m not too happy with how the heel looks, so it’s being procrastinated on. ah, well. we’ll finish it soon, and then we’ll have to worry about second-sock-syndrome.

I think that’s the extent of progress.

in HolSP news… yes, I believe my Amazon wishlist is up to date (at least as far as what I’ve bought. there’s probably a few things that could be added… too bad I can’t add knitpicks yarns to it… or any yarns for that matter…). and I’ve been shopping. Three of the LYS are having sales this weekend, so I’m hoping I might find some deals there to add to the SP gifting. otherwise, I think all my SP shopping is done. I just need to get something into the mail now.

oh, and while out SP shopping the other night, I stumbled upon glitter needles at JoAnn’s! I had to buy them (as well as some of the knitting witch ’spooky hollow’ decor - they were 70% off! how could I resist?)
