    I'm going to do January's challenge. I liked the washcloths I made for Mammamia so much, that I think I'll make a tea towel for myself from the same yarn.

    I finished my goal of 3 orange dishcloths and have yarn for another. Cast on socks for my daughter's boyfriend. Other projects for Christmas can be done in a weekend so I'm feeling no pressure about finishing the gifts.

    I'm working on a sweater from Bernat handicrafter cotton. Not the best quality, and a lot of work, but we'll see what comes out of it.

    I am also trying Brazilian embroidery. Plus I have several silk paper needlecases to embroider for a group in town.
