Binding off

I did it.
I promised myself no more casting on until I finish all my projects...and last night...at 11:30 pm...I did it.  I finished another pebble vest...this one for C.  I also finished the oaklet shawl that I have been working on FOREVER!







So now I have decided to just cast on a mindless project in order to be able to carry it around and knit when I have a minute or two here and there, as that is all I have time for this time of year.  I'm thinking washcloths.


I also have been trying to learn a few new techniques.
I figure if I have a few small projects, maybe I can add a few little tricks in.
So, I picked up a few books at the library, will watch a few you tube videos and will attempt to educate myself.  I love being a lifetime learner.
Oh...and by the way...citysister designs is having a giveaway here...and there's a discount code.

  1. Congratulations! I wish I had your strength, I keep casting on, and on! All you project look beautiful.
    I just ordered that exact book for my holiday break knitting, do you like it? There are so many projects I want to knit if I can just learn how.
