New projects for Christmas 2010!

I've been testing cowl patterns, trying to find something that everyone will like and I won't go crazy trying to finish by Christmas eve.....

I've also been working on a feather and fan lace scarf for my son's GF. I really hope she likes it, I'm half way complete with it.

I've also been doing crochet dish clothes, have a few knitted ones done also. I even tried a few crochet/knit hand towels. Those take more time to do, and cotton really tires my hands out. So the 2 I have completed will be for me :) Or that special someone who will appreciate them....have not decided.

Completed a shawl for my wonderful mother, this one was crocheted. Have the raglan knitted shawl on the needles, just don't like the yarn colors....so part of it is going to the frog pond.
Still have the Shearling sweater for my Mom going....I'm so close to done and just can't seem to get back into it! I think because it is crochet and a sweater is what is holding me back. Crochet garments just don't shape as easily as knitted ones...I will just make myself get past it as this project has been in the works for 2 darn yrs now! Shame on me...right...

Well that's just a quick update of my wanderings and projects for Christmas...that should have started in Jan 2010, not Oct 2010.....
