I have also finished one item of knitting!!! I have so many WIPs which need a heck of a lot of focus which I just can't seem to find. Anyway, here's Spherey from Jess Hutch's book. I made him for some friends who are expecting their first baby and I''ll be seeing them this weekend. Where you might ask? IN NEW YORK!!!!! Yup, Kate and I are off to NYC for a weekend of yarn shopping and shopping and eating. We've shortlisted 6 yarn stores in our "must visit" list. So if anyone needs anything (yarn , etc from NYC) let drop me a note and I'm sure I'll be happy to shop for you too.
Pattern - Spherey from Jess Hutch's booklet
Yarn - GGH Samoa (very like Rowan's All Season Cotton)
I have also managed to start something else in the last 2 nights. I've been hankering to start the Mitre Square blanket from Mason Dixon Knitting So while hubby is away in Hong Kong for business for 10 days, I dragged out 30 odd balls of GGH Samoa and Rowan ASC and cast on. 2 nights and 3 squares later, I am hooked. I love deciding colour choices and seeing how it's turning out. Love it. Love it. (I know, I know, it might just end up on the BIG WIP pile, we'll see. Focus!)

Spherey is adorable and I hear those mitred squares are addicting. Good luck and have fun in NY!

Ohhhhh, your squares are so lovely. Someday I might try them. You've inspired me. Enjoy the UFO's.
Spherey is so cute. I love the colours you're working the blanket in too.
Love your mitred blanket ... it's going to be fab! Spherey's really sweet and am sure your friends will love the gift. You had me giggling with some fond music nostalgia there ... hits and memories from the 80s flashing back (some too embarassing to be remembered too!). I was an old married woman by 1989 (married in '85). I was 18 in 1881 ... but recall so many of the 'classics' on your list (Who could have imagined Jason D was soooo prolific????)
