Peasant Top

So after all of my bad luck, I finally got the gauge down for the peasant top I am making. I just finished up the front and have started on the first sleeve. It was definitely slow going at first, especially through the cable section, but now that I've gotten the hang of it, I'm moving right along. That is good since my Christmas time allowance is being used on myself right now. I got yarn to finish my sock and to make a pair for someone else. Then I have a jacket and a couple of hats, then a scarf to make. Other than that, I'm not sure if I'll be doing any other handmade gifts this year. I will be posting pictures of some projects, but not of the ones I know people who read this blog will be getting (until after Christmas. I will save them on my camera. So around New Year's time, I will have a whole litany of pictures to post.) Also, I have decided that for my New Year's resolution, I am going to complete the Knitting Guild levels to become certified as a Master Knitter. I am also interested in going on the knitty.com cruise in May so I am trying to earn the money to go on that. Leave me a note on this post if you are interested in helping me.
I am hoping to get my peasant top finished up by mid-October at the lastest so I probably will not be posting for a bit yet, but you all will see it when it is finished. Take care.
