Happy New Year (Pippa is done!)

Yes, she is done. And lovely. The nicest thing I have ever made. Thank you, Anna for the amazing pattern and wonderful support.

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy new year. Please be kind to yourself and to others.

 

so close.

It is almost done. the button bands are finished, the fronts are seamed to the back and the stitches for the neckband are picked up. Unfortunately I am sick. And really tired. And afraid to make a mistake. So I will attempt to knit the neckline in the am and perhaps seam in the arms. Perhaps not. But the end is in sight.

And selu, so nice to hear from you. couldnt call back because it hurts really badly to talk, but finally saved the right number into the phone so we will be back in action soon.

So, Pippa is currently blocking on the floor of the den.

It is the 20th. If it is dry by Saturday, I can do the button bands that night (maybe–they could be time consuming, I have no idea). I have all day Sunday for seaming and the neckband, and sewing on the buttons. This just might be done by Christmas.
