My Christmas vacation officially starts tomorrow. I'm so ready to have calmer days, less work, less commitments, just hang out with my crew and knit as much as I can! I usually pick a new cast-on for the vacation and this time I chose the Autumn Alpine sweater by Caitlin Hunter. You can never go wrong with Caitlin's patterns. They're fun to knit and to wear. I had a sweater quantity of Cascade 220 in my stash (saved for another sweater but this one won!) I am pairing it with beautiful yarn by Aster Fiber Co that was gifted to me by my friend, Sassy Karen. I won't have enough for all of the colorwork so I might use a different yarn for the flowers. Or, I'll treat myself and order another skein. We'll see!
Do you have anything special you work on over the holiday break?
i still have to finish the hat i am working on, but i don't think it will happen. too much work and mike is here and he talks a lot...a real lot!! i also have ornaments that i have not finished and this darn cold i can't get rid of.
