Birds of Paradise

I'm happy to report that the older granddaughter received her sweater in time for her birthday. Now I'm making serious progress on the sweater for the younger granddaughter: she was three years old in July, so this one will be a Chanuka gift. She has requested both a zipper and a hood, so I guess it will be her very own unique "hoodie."

Guess what I've just booked?

I've done it! I went on Kangaroo last week and it took me by surprise that they're taking bookings already. Agonised for a week and now I've booked a place for June 2008. Motivation to get some of last time's stuff finished by June- so little time.

See any of you there?

Project Complete!

I sewed the shoulder seams before I finished the sleeves. The bear and the dog came out well, and they're on the front. I'm not as happy with the butterfly and the robin redbreast; my intarsia skills failed me a bit, but at least it's the back. In any case, this granddaughter's birthday is August 28, in Vancouver, BC, so I'm wrapping and mailing to be done right away.
