I didn't get the deer done in time for Father's Day. As you can see, I have the head, body, and antlers, but no appendages. I did give it to my dad like this, but told him I'd finish it for when we visit on the 4th. It doesn't look like the reindeer in the booklet AT ALL, but I'm pretty happy with it - it looks much more like a Whitetail, which it's supposed to be anyway.
I've also been making progress on my sister's GVSU afghan. I'm on the last set of 16, and hopefully those will be wrapped up by the end of the week. Although, today is Wednesday, so that is sounding less likely. . .Since I am an extremely ADD yarn-er, I also had to start making my Luxurious throw with the Suri Dream yarn I just got from KnitPicks. It is lovely, lovely, lovely. The only problem is with my gauge. With size 10 1/2 needles, it wasn't nearly wide enough, so I went up a few times and wound up with a 13. Now the strip is WIDE enough, but it is much longer than it needs to be. This makes me nervous that I won't have enough yarn to finish. . .I guess worst case scenario means I'll have one less strip, and it will be more of a lapghan than a throw.
It's time for One Life to Live and folding laundry, then more GVSU squares!
