Alpha Bravo Charlie- Monday Meeting is my weekly blog feature about my progress in this group.
Another week of December and B-projects passed. I finally finished my Barad Dur Shawl and I am very pleased how it turned out.
At my LYS we are also putting together a babyblanket for a pregnant customer. I contributed 3 squares - one happend to be a B! They were meant to become dishclothes, but they make fine babysquare blanket too!

Can't remember the name...
Elvish Leaves
As little Christmas presents (which I gifted randomly away after mass at church to various people in the parish) I made 10 bookmarks (Yeah another B!). And one extra for me ;-).
5 in blue
5 in white
1 for me (despite that I bought myself a ebookreader for Christmas)
The Belle Ruffle Gloves seemed to be doomed. I misplaced a button and by cutting it loose I also cut into the gloves. So I got a ruffle and a upper part of a glove. I started over - without buttons of course! I will just join in the round after the ruffle. But I will nothting say about it, till they are finished!

Okay, I missed one week completely and I am late again, but it's only because I am so busy knitting!
My B-WIP (Bulky Boot Socks) are finished! They are nice and cosy and keeping my feet warm then I am knitting in my chair. And luckily my knitting tension didn't changed much over the last two years - both socks turned out to be the same size!
And the Barad Dur Shawl from Susan Pandorf is growing. The evil tower is nearly finished! There are about 25 rows to got - but the rows are short now (63 stitches instead of 269). But I am seriously wondering, if the yarn will be enough.
After I finished the socks, I cast on my pair of Belle Ruffle Gloves. I am using leftover yarn from the scarf I made my mum. The first glove is finished - I will look for buttons in the lunchbreak. I could have a pair, but I had to rip back the first glove as it was too tight.
No extra-work during the last weeks, but I hope to finish shawl and gloves before Christmas. I am not sure, if I will pick another B-project or just go ahead and start already a C, or work on other WIPs I have.

Alpha Bravo Charlie- Monday Meeting is my weekly blog feature about my progress in this group.
December had started and we left letter "A" behind and come to letter "B". I picked three projects for this month - a WIP, a new project using stash yarn and a extra project, if there is still time.
My WIP are the Bulky Boot Socks. I just found out, that I started them nearly two years ago. High time to finish them. I manage to finish the first sock and finally cast on the second one. I knitted just a few rows as I am concentrating on the new project at home. But these will do fine for knitting at my LYS (planned for Friday and Saturday).
The new project - for which I picked Trekking hand art in the colourway Feuerland (a yarn which sits in my stash for about 2 years)- is the Barad Dur Shawl from Susan Pandorf. So be aware - the foundation for the evil tower is laid! I managed it up to row 21.
And if I have really time, I want to make me a pair of mitts - either the Brontes Mitts or the Belle Ruffle Gloves. Either way I will use stash yarn.
As always I sneaked in some extra work:
I finished my Strider Cowl and crocheted a headband to keep my ears warm (while on my new bike - note to myself: Must blog about my awesome bike here!) and made a mobile cosy from the leftovers.
Anar kaluva tielyanna!
