Well, now that I've finished my Big Comfy Sweater, I've cast on for Johanna's. I decided after measuring her that I am going to make the 3X size from Blueberry Pudding Caron Big Cakes. On Christmas Eve I cast on the front & back and on Christmas Day I managed to get both of the ribbings done, so now it's just miles of Stockinette until I have to add the sleeve stitches. I have one piece on my Prym circular needle and the other piece on my new Denise Sharp Short Tips.
My other project is doing the spinning homework for my School of SweetGeorgia spinning class. I got my order of Blue Faced Leicester wool and am working on spinning my first bobbin full of singles, then I have to spin another bobbin with which to ply it into yarn. I'm getting too much twist in the yarn, so I hope that Felicia addresses that in a future lesson I haven't gotten to yet.
I put the needles I need for my Scandinavian shawl in my Amazon cart but haven't submitted it. I'm not sure I really want to start that yet because it looks more complicated than I anticipated. It's worked in 4 pieces, not one large piece, so I may do the Pi Shawl first, as that's better travel knitting.
Today I start back at my original job, in the Pharmacy at my store, so I will have more time to knit after work, but no knitting during work like I had doing the school testing job with downtime at slower test sites and between schools. I hope I made the right decision to come back to the store. Everything seems to have changed while I was gone for 4 months.
