Have you started your Christmas knits yet?
I'm working on this mitered square purse for one of Charlotte's teachers.
One skein in and I have a bottom and half a front.
As much as I would love to be part of the Norovember KAL, I'm going for a cheaper alternative with this purse. The yarn, Patons SWS, is available at Michaels so if the coupons are good, I might be up there first thing the day after Thanksgiving buying a bunch of it. Until then, it's 40% off one skein every Monday on the way to knit night. I like the purse so far and if it comes out well, I'll be making it for most of my Christmas list.
The purse is looking great! And you buy yarn at Michael's the same way I do! :)
I've liked the SWS. It's a little splitty, but that hasn't bothered me too much. Right now I'm using it on the pillow that Wendy at Knit and Tonic made a couple of months back. I think the colors on the yarn are very pretty.
