Miles (of I-cord) to go before I sleep….

That little nod to Robert Frost expresses how I feel about my knitting right now.  I’ve basically finished the three felted purses I’m making for gifts, but haven’t done the boring, tedious amounts of I-cord that I need to do for the handles.  My hands are sore and I just can’t seem to get myself to finish them.

Look what Joan gave all of her employees for a holiday gift:

She made each of us two handwoven dish towels…aren’t they nice?  (That’s Gladys using the towel for a picnic blanket.  She’s one of my favorite pieces of art…got her at an art fair in Ann Arbor a couple years ago.)

Speaking of the yarn store, one of my co-workers is having back surgery in a few days and will likely be out of commission for several months.  All of us at the store have secretly been working on a prayer shawl for her out of a gorgeous red mohair yarn.  It’s almost finished and I just got to add my several inches to it last night.  I think she’ll love it.  The prayer shawl tradition is a really cool thing, isn’t it?
