You can hardly tell I started Warm Woolen Mittens, it’s oatmeal on a cream linen, LOL! Eurasian is done!!! And I love it, I hated the pattern, but it’s still a win! I need to finish up Clue 7 to get ready for Clue 8 on Friday. Losing desire to work on this project, more on that tomorrow.
This Week’s List
- Finish Clue 7
- Work on Clue 8
- Start 1st Wedding Topper
- Finish Toddler Sweater
- Have a Happy Birthday on Thursday!
I spent time on Monday compiling a list of all the sizes and shapes I need for the wedding toppers. I think I am going to cut out the parts for 3 toppers at a time and then have them to work on when I am able. First up will be Log Cabin, Pineapple and Cabin Skein.
I cast on this sweater using the new yarn I bought Friday. I am using the idea of Gramps from TinCanknits, but converting the numbers to the bulky gauge. It’s been a quick knit! Must look at the button situation so I am ready for them when the time comes. I hope to gift this to the Dec birthday boy this weekend. That may be pushing it.
My 2020 UFO Challenge number is 10, which is perfect since it’s Freyja! I will try to get the blocks made and the quilt done by the end of January. Since I am making 1/3 of the finished size, I should be able to get this to a completed stage, I hope!

Those toppers will be so beautiful!
I love the color of that sweater.
Thanks! Me too!! I wish there was enough for a sweater for me!! But then I guess I can search online for more. > >
Look at all your plans coming together. I love the yarn for the sweater! Great color!
It will match his baby blues perfectly! Thanks > >
Hi Chris! Ooh, I see the cross stitch fabric so you must have started. Of course, it’s hard to see the stitches but I believe you! HAHA! Love the idea of working on three toppers at a time, especially since they basically use the same fabrics/colors. Can’t wait to see how you do on these, and what’s up with Clue7/8. ~smile~ Roseanne
HA – I forgot to say thank you. And from the website I can click on a photo and actually see those cream-colored stitches. Roseanne

Thanks, yes there really is floss on that fabric! I have resolved to buy a powerful task light to help me see!! LOL > >
you sure knit fast 🙂
It’s bulky yarn, it knits fast!!! 😂😂😂 > >
You should definitely have a Happy Birthday on Thursday, Chris! January 9th is our 44th wedding anniversary, too! Love your Wedding Table Toppers – sounds like a good idea to cut pieces for a few at a time.
LOL! Thanks! It’s easy to have a Happy Birthday, just use all those lovely freebies you get from companies wanting to celebrate your day! I think I have 8 and counting. > >
Love the colour of the cardi yarn
Me too! And how fast it’s knitting up!

Happy birthday in advance! Love the yarn color for the little one’s sweater 🙂 You should definitely look for some for you. I am so looking forward to seeing the wedding toppers come together – the designs are so beautiful!
The first ones were cut yesterday and a little sewing got done. Now to keep up with the making!! Thanks > >
Great finish on the cowl; the new little boy’s sweater is cool!
Thanks! I am loving this Inca Tweed, but it’s not that soft and it’s not that spectacular, so maybe it’s the neat sts it makes and the color? > >
