I finished the Moc-A-Socs. They are so cute that I think I may need insulin.
Time to drop them in the mail. Although I am very excited about giving my very first handmade baby gift to my cousins, it’s always a little hard to send something you’ve made away. At least at Christmas gatherings I get to see people open what I worked so hard on so the separation anxiety is eased a little. But when you put them in the mailbox, you just have to hope that they arrive and imagine that they are pleased.
To ease the pain, I bought The Sheep Shawl pattern with the intention of buying the yarn in a month or two as a summer project. Then I saw this–
on a shelf at The Woolie Ewe. They didn’t have any Jaggerspun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18 the last time I was there. What a lovely surprise. Poor Linnea had to watch me debate yarn colors for at least fifteen minutes. Since this was the yarn I was going to buy eventually, I decided to make then be now. Seize the yarn!
