I did cast on for a new sweater last night. Hee hee. A raglan Christmas pullover. this is a great pattern for visual learners. Both my size 2 circs are in use, so I have to resort to dpns. I am just past the sleeve divide. this is leftover Winter Chill sock yarn from Thank Ewe on Etsy.

Mrs. Claus Is Done
I got the pink yarn the other day, and I have been working on the Mrs. Claus stocking ever since.I finished it Saturday, then tried most of the day to embroider the name in duplicate stitch. Around 9 pm, I gave up, cut the top off and knitted the name in and redid the ribbing. Mary Maxim pattern book 4, MM Starlette yarn. Think those are knitting needles or antennae? BTW, I have several vintage patterns inherited from DH's grandmother, who made the family stockings. I have also made them for nephews and nieces, in-laws, etc. The background one is DH's vintage one.

Mrs. Claus Progress at Last
Mrs. Claus has been on hiatus since I ran out of pink yarn. I had to get more from Mary Maxim. Of course, it arrived after I rush-ordered another skein. Oh well, I shall have plenty of pink Starlette acrylic now. This pattern is in the Mary Maxim 4th stocking pattern book.
