Finished "Morning Song" tonight!!!! (twirling around, jumping up
and down. waving my arms in the air!!) Started August 26, 2014,
finished February 27, 2015. Six months almost to the day! Next
project, Heaven & Earth Designs "The Nativity". I'm sure I'll be
busy on this one for quite awhile.

Sorry, coming in a bit late on this thread...

Wow, congrats!!! I'm assuming this is the Lavender & Lace design?

The Nativity is an ambitious project! It's over 1, right?


If I may piggy-back on your celebration...

I finally finished stitching the advent calendar for the DGKs about the
middle of Jan. I have yet to put it together, though.

After that, I started in on my afghan. I bought the yarn in 2005 when
visiting my sister in WA. It's a bulky baby alpaca yarn. Didn't have
any idea what I was going to make with it, but I fell in love with the
yarn. A few years later I found the *perfect* pattern (a reversible
cable knit pattern...I like afghans that are reversible!) but then
started having grandkids to stitch things for.

I finally got to a point last year where I could start stitching it and
was doing a stitch-along with my sister. I knit the first skein and
realized I needed more yarn...3 if not 4 skeins. I emailed the company
and they said they discontinued that yarn but sent me a list of
companies they had sold it to. Four pages of addresses! Sooo I started
googling and emailing. I found one store that still had 2 skeins.
WooHoo! I then mentioned it to a coworker and she suggested
Ravelry.com. A lady there had one skein. YAAAAY! So, I started
knitting away.

Did I have enough yarn???? Yup! I finished it last week! I had about
20 feet of yarn left!!! lolol!

Now I'm crocheting a variety of crosses with the intention of giving
them to ladies at church. Not the best instructions, but I think I've
gotten them mostly right.
