2. Wee Jennys! I actually got these from Wee-Ones a little while ago, but hadn't had the opportunity to post about them yet.
I put my thumb in there for scale because honestly, they are even more wee than I thought they were going to be. She was super great to work with and even though she apologized for the delay in finishing them, I thought she was super fast! I mean, these were totally custom for me. She even had me "proof" the first concept piece. So, if you have a special friend - get them immortalize in femo clay!3. I finally finished the back of my design class sweater project. I washed and blocked it last night.
4. It will be a miracle if I can replicate what I did for the (identical) front piece.
5. With my brother's sweater of the to-do list, I am officially only working on 2 active projects: my design sweater and my manos blanket.
6. Manos makes me really happy.
7. But I am starting to panic about a couple of my color choices. Part of the blanket looks like a swamp and the other part is super happy. I'm trying to make them work together, but was having trouble. I'll have to get my colorist, B recruited for the job.
8. Last Saturday I fell in love with Koigu all over again. I mean, did I ever fall out of love? No. But, I found the most beautiful colorway that is perfect for Mim's Seraphim. Not too solid, not too variegated. But I would need about 6 hanks. Ugh.
9. I made it back to spin class last night after a 4 month hiatus. I initially took a break to avoid all the New Year's resolution people that swarm the gym in January and take all the bikes in class before I can get over there after work. But then it just stuck and I didn't go back until last night.
10. So, in an effort to keep my motivation, the paperclip chain has been started again. If I can go for 12 weeks without skipping (for no GOOD reason), I will have earned that Koigu!

Yay! Congrats on your brother's sweater. That's a real accomplishment and a test of fortitude. I'm sure he'll love it!
You've been busy! Sounds like a perfect plan to get that Koigu.
Good for you for getting back to the gym! I've had all manner of excuses for over 6 months but I know it's time to get back to it. Maybe I'll start tonight.
Those stitch markers are sooo adorable!
OMG, the wee Jennies! Even more wee than the actual Jenny! Too cute!

Go you! Earn that Koigu! I can't think of a better motivator.
I had big trouble with the color combo in a Manos blanket I made. In the end I just decided it was quirky.
