My first ever everything by myself woven shawl. I used mohair yarn, recycled from a almost finished sweater given to me by a casual friend. Though mohair is hellish to frog, I did frog, reskein, wash and reball the sweater. the whole process must have taken me at least over a year. But finally, it's off the loom! I think I'm giving the shawl to my mother in law, who loves pink and uses shawl.

First amigurumi FO(from that book)!
The crochet part is much easier than I expected, but putting the parts together turn out to be much hardet than I thought. One of the ears were twisted, the body/head connection feel really flimsy, the hands and feet were easier, I guess I got the hang of it by the time I got there. But the tail were too low, Amy kept on insisting the bunny has three legs!

Coming up next in the amigurumi department is a pink chihuahua for Amy. But I can't get the February baby sweater of Knitter's Almanac off my mind. Only I don't have a baby that small to knit for anymore. Need to check out how to enlarge it for Amy or Kate. They could use a new sweater in the coming winter. Let's just see if I'll get to that.
Mother in law came by day before yesterday. Saw the still unattached parts of the bunny and said, since I like to knit so much, she's giving me her yarn to knit her a sweater. Duh, mom, the waiting time is really going to be very long. She said that's okay, since she started the thing 20 years ago!
