Originally when I hatched this plan, I thought 5 days vacation = 5 new projects. However, I'm taking my vacation in conjunction with Labor Day so I don't really have 5 days to myself. The house will be full on Labor Day. I'm still going to try for 5 new projects though. They will all be Christmas projects.
Robyn SIL gets a pair of Stulpens made from the green Acero to match the Clapotis she got last year. Cast on and 65% complete.
1. MOM "Red Emperor" stole. Something she could leave on the back of the pew at church. The pattern reminds me of the Grandmother's Fan quilt she made for DH and me. I'm using the Orchid Sundara. Oh, I just can't wait, this is going to be so good.
2. June is For Jag. I plan to use one skein of the BFY Solo Silk. I hope I don't regret splitting up the skeins, but I think this yarn and pattern are a match made in heaven. This is for Jen.
3. Celtic Cable Neckwarmer. I keep going back and forth on Julie. I don't really know what color. I hate to spend time on something she won't like. This is very pretty and cables are impressive (I think). The yarn should be solid and light or medium. Nothing that would cover up the detail of the cables. In the end, even if Julie doesn't like this, I'm sure someone will.
4. Sunray. Is a pretty fabulous scarf that feels pretty unisex. I could see this in the Berroco Alpaca even though it's a dark brown. It would also work for a varigated yarn. And I have plenty of that. We'll just have to see. It's #4. Maybe I'll get to it, maybe I won't.
5. Vogue Drop Stitch Scarf. Bonnie Bamboo yarn. They are a good match. Don't know who will get the scarf, but someone should.
