As I wait on yarn for the projects I have orders for, I'm trying to finish up a few things (I never post a WIP here for some reason) and make a few small projects.
I finished the shawl I was making out of fingering weight yarn. I really like the yarn and when I found it on sale, I bought it knowing I'd make something out of it when I could. I later found the pattern for the shawl. I fell in love with the border I think. And that's what my husband liked about it best as well. Also, he was very happy that I made it for myself.
I have a couple of pics I took with my cell phone today because I haven't had time to get any others done. I'll post those for now and try to get some more later.

I finished the sweaters for Aunt Mary's grandchildren!
I've had an order in for these for a while now but, since they are Christmas gifts, other things got completed first.
Aunt Mary chose a pattern but, I really should have tested it before letting it be the one she chose from. Some things were not well written for me and some things I didn't like and some things just weren't working correctly since she wanted a solid color and this pattern was stripped.
I ended up modifying the pattern so much that I will not even list it here and it basically ended up being a new one. I should have written it down as I went along. I know this. I just am so lax in doing that. I don't keep good records of things I have made in case I need to go back and make another for someone else. I need to make that a goal of mine to get better.
Any way, here they are and I really hope she likes them.

Matching Shrugs for Sisters
I have a shrug like this one and I've given a couple as gifts. These are the first two I have sold.
Though I only took a a picture of one, sister got it just a like color and size.
