Apart from weaving in the ends, the 1st fingerless mitt is finished. I'm following the pattern I wrote for the first one, to see if there's any errors or omissions. Found one for the thumb gusset.....repeat rounds 1 - 3 five times. I hadn't written down what those rounds were! Glad I found it now and not in the future.
One of next year's BAPs is learning how to knit cables. There's a cake of yarn in stash that's earmarked for a cabled scarf. It's my motivation to finish the WIPs by the end of the year.
Are you ready for Thursday? I did the last minute shopping today. All I have to do now is make the pumpkin pie on Wednesday and put the ham in the oven on Thursday. We're having a 7 layer salad with it, so that's easy. Plus, yeast rolls. Grey had looked for them at the shop a few times and couldn't find them. I said I'd make them, but found some in the freezer section today. Yay! I don't mind making them, but if he's happy with shop bought, I'm happy not to make them.
Just after he left work this morning, he had a phone call from one of the ladies who works on his shift, asking if he'd left yet. She rang to let him know there was a van at a nearby shopping center giving away hams. Of course, BEB had to ask what the catch was and had they fallen off the back of a truck. lol Turns out it was a radio station promotion. I'd got one last week, so now we have the one for Christmas, too.
BOB would want to know what the catch was too! Free is a VERY good price - LOL - ;))
