Whew! Now that Super Tuesday is over I can take my eyes off the news for long enough to do some blogging. Before we return to knitting though, let me show you a picture I took of Obama on Monday at the (Hartford Civic) XL Center. There were 16,000+ people at the event, and I’ve never seen anything like it.
Anyway, I’ve been chipping away at several projects lately, all easy stuff that I can do while watching TV. I haven’t made much progress on my Endpaper Mitts because I really have to look at what I’m doing. The good news is, I’ve made great progress on a project that I can’t tell you about yet. Hopefully you’ll be able to see it soon, but here is a little teaser:
I’m also just about done with that Ms. Redjeans for my mom, and I’ll be able to give it to her the next time I see her.
Finally, I’m also moving along on an Everlasting Bagstopper that I started for my sister way back in August or something. I’ll also try to give it to her the next time I see her:
It looks like I’ll be able to check off at least three of my goals for the year by the end of February!

Yay for finishing things!
Is that Mission Falls cotton, perchance?

I found my husband in your picture.
(Sadly, I couldn’t get out of work early enough to attend the rally myself. I hope to put some of his pictures on my blog, though!)
I love the color of Ms. Redjeans!

I’m sooo jealous! DH and I really wanted to go to that rally – we considered calling out of work for it even. Glad to see so much support for him!

I’m intrigued by your secret project. Love the color of Ms. Redjeans, too. You are so generous to make it for your mom.

Wow, what a coincidence! I happened to be browsing your blog, and what do you know, I am actually in that picture of the Obama rally! What a great experience.
