So I couldn’t really blog about my trip this weekend because it was a big surprise for my soon to be Aunt Sandy.
My uncle tony decided to propose to Sandy in the Bahamas at the Atlantis and surprise her with all of their friends and family there!
So that this stays somewhat knitting related…I took the following projects with me:
- Dragonfly Fibers socks that still aren’t done…but I did get the heel turned!
- Little Birds fair isle sweater…wow, I am STILL knitting the bottom ribbing. I swear it never ends.
- Herbivore by Stephen West and a hank of Malabrigo Sock in a wonderful tropical color
See, here is evidence of me knitting at the first night’s reception:
Here is the happy couple right after the surprise proposal!
And here is the very nervous event planner who had to carry the Tiffany’s box the entire way down to the Bahamas while also trying to coordinate over 40 guests AND keep it all a secret from Sandy (seen here with Tiffany bag):
And just for kicks, here is an awesome seahorse:
So what did I get done between the water slides and fruity drinks? Not much. I am still in the ribbing on the Little birds project. The sock still isn’t finished. I didn’t knit a single stitch on the Herbivore…
Has anyone else worked on something other than holiday gifts?

I finished a Springtime Bandit shawl/scarf for myself on Friday (started it Tuesday evening). I used the Water Green Malabrigo Worsted I bought at the Black Friday sale!

I, too, am knitting a Herbivore as a Christmas gift (Malabrigo sock, Caribeno). From the pattern photos, you’d think it would be a quick knit. But, the ever increasing number of ktbl’s and ptbl’s really slow things down.

Does swatching for Selbu Modern and getting depressed because I have to go *down* a needle size count?
No holiday gift knitting but about 12 rows left in Chalice Baby Blanket for a January baby. Then I need to crank out a 12-18 mo. vest by 9 January. It’s worsted, it will go quickly, right?!?

I made a “Market Hat” to go with my Market Vest, and I’m also making Laminaria in that lovely shade of Wollemeise you graciously turned down for me
And I’m working on Tang from Wendy Bernard’s book; although I am pondering turning it into a dress. I also just finished my Loppem and Favorite Cardigan.
