Isn't it great that briefly before my office has the big move to Northglenn, that I can run off at lunch get to Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins shop for about 30 minutes 45 if I don't mind a hour and a half lunch, (which I don't) and get back to work. I do usually feel rushed but that is OK. I can also do this with The Stitchen' Den. Yesterday, I only went to Shuttles. I had a plan, I knew what I wanted what I needed, and from some act of God that is all I did. I bought 1 pattern and 6 skeins of yarn, to make my two nieces poncho's for Christmas. Now me, I am not much of a poncho girl, I am of the belief that just because something is in (if it even still is) doesn't mean it looks great on me. I do admit one caught my eye in the new Wrap Style book. One of my niece's is loving ponchos, so I figured I would buy some yarn find a pattern and make her one. Well, I have 2 niece's so I can't just make one right? Hence the 6 skeins instead of 3. I think I will go with the unhooded version we shall see, maybe to make theirs a bit different other than color I will add a hood to one.

Speaking of niece's and things I have made for them, I finally got a picture of my neiceJenibriaice and I and the quilt I made for her. This quilt was the death of me, by this time I had started knitting and not so much of the quilting, my machine was having issues, so I was having issues. But I think it turned out good. Isn't she cute?

I am slowly making progress on my Ribby, it is not all that fun anymore since I have a few other projects going. I have to admit that I stress with too many projects, like who to spend the most time with and such things. I feel now that I just need to get a couple done and go from there. I hate having unfinished things, like the Hoody that needs to be finished up, and Ribby. But of course I started the Wrap I listed below from Wrap Style, I need to finish the Michigan scarf (which I spent all lunch today on) and do another damn bag for my sister in law. My efficiency gene is getting me too, I think I need to get them all done NOW.
