I'm making a purple mermaid tail shaped afghan for a 7-year old.

I'm knitting "Boxy" by Joji in grey stripes. Next will be the cowl from Outlander.

Hi Girls!

I am knitting a sweater, Eula pattern from Berroco. This is only my second sweater so I'm pretty excited.

Hanging head in shame as I have several projects going at one time. I need to finish one project before starting another. Right now I'm finishing up some hats, scarves, and mittens for needy children. I'm also making some lovely cowls as gifts for friends. These are working up quickly because they are made with bullky yarn. I also have a lap robe and prayer shawl going. I've been knitting since the age of 8 and I'm nearly 70. I love to knit and find it very, very relaxing. Enjoy your projects. docsgirl

Size 50 needles. Two strands of bulky wool blend-Claire's cowl from the 'Outlander' series. It's going to be so warm!

@Penellope

I would LOVE to see a photo of this! Sounds really great!

Would you mind sharing the origin of the pattern? Or, did you design it yourself?

Whoa - Size 50!!!!!!

Honestly don't think I could manage 50s. I've seen these used on the PBS show and it is not easy.

Have fun!

Last minute knitting in the round: a pink neck scarf for my 2 years old granddaughter in a simple Vanna White pastel pink.

My big deal now is sewing: Making my GD a 3 tiered cotton velveteen jumper. (Sewing with velvet or velveteen is a whole new world, I've learned.)

Hi @sfnative, I bought a pattern on Etsy. I can't post a pic since I'm using a kindle.

Hi Penellope,

Thank you so much for the etsy link. Honestly, I had no idea one could go to esty for patterns, so will definitely have to make that a regular "trip."

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

That is adorable and I think our 2 younger Granddaughters would love one.
