I don't know what is up with the font on this post. At the top it is blue and underlined which is not what it usually does. Now down at the bottom it is back to regular. We'll see when I publish.

Slowing down...
I have slowed down on the knitting. I am knitting the Fiber Trends felted clogs pattern and I have one finished. I have started on the second one but I need to purchase one more skein and won't be able to do that until Saturday. So I am stalled. I really need to get going on these as I want to knit several pairs for Christmas presents.

Yikes!
Has it really been two months since my last post? Better do something about that, since I had been doing so well. But of course, this coincided with the start of our school year also and I haven't been doing as much knitting as during the summer. It took me over 2 months to finish up these socks. I started them at the first of August and should have had them finished by the end of September for the Six-Sox-Knitalong. I finished them up at the end of last week.
I'm still working on the Mystery Stole 2 Knitalong but set it aside for other things. I need to get back to it. In the meantime, I bought, searched stash, and cast on for this Forest Canopy Shoulder Shawl at the beginning of this week. I used some Schaefer Anne that I originally had bought for knitting socks and decided to use it for this. Doesn't it look like peacock feathers? It turned out just lovely. I am giving it to my MIL for Christmas. BTW, I purchased this pattern from Susan Lawrence over at I'm Knitting As Fast As I Can ( http://ma2ut.blogspot.com/ )
Here is a close up.
I also started knitting on a pair of felted clogs. I'm using Paton's Classic Merino for this pair. I plan to make several pairs for Christmas presents. "The Queen" is trying to sleep in the background.
Here is what I had left from the skein of Anne that I used on the Forest Canopy Shoulder Shawl. It is over half of the skein. I think I'm gonna make another for me, making it at least one repeat larger.
That's all I have for now. Oh, I almost forgot...I did make several BallBand Warshcloths from the Mason-Dixon Knitting book. I will post those pictures later.
