The secret gift project I have been working on for the last two months was finished with a few days to spare, which was cutting it a little closer than I like. However, the recipient has received it, so now I can share it here.
I made my Mom the autumn leaf version of the Fall Favorites sweater! This is the same sweater that I have made 3 different Halloween versions of for myself. The yarn is Cascade 220 sport weight. The copper sparkle buttons are from the Magpie’s Eye, as usual. The pattern bands really do line up correctly – I’m not sure why they look goofy here.
Mom is happy with it, and it fits, so all is good there 🙂
Now back to my selfish knitting! I had big plans for 2025, but halfway through the year, graduate school entered the chat. So my plan for 2026 is to finish all the WIPs I started this year, along with a few pairs of socks and some other accessories.
Do you have plans in mind for your crafting for next year? Or just letting it roll?
