Just cast on...

After the madness of making all my Christmas gifts I like to pull out the knitting needles, grab some yarn and cast on. Never following a pattern, just allowing the yarn to flow through my fingers freely. Sometimes I make a scarf, other times a blanket. Simple and thoughtless is what I want. My mother in law always sends me her leftover yarn from knitting blankets. Like me she wants something simple and thoughtless to do with her hands after a long day of work, she is a therapist. From her leftovers (1 full skein and a random ball) I made this wrap for myself.
And Zane only 3 years old took the picture for me.

Zane was using your camera?
He did a great job. I also love the wrap.

Is this the one you were working on at craft night this last Thursday? If it is... you are super speedy! Looks great!

oh goodness no! That one is still on the needles and I don't think I've made much progress since last thursday :)

You know. I haven't touched the gray sweater since last Thursday. You'll probably have the shawl finished before I finish the back of that thing.

It's just beautiful, and you look so cozy in it. I admit to having the same organizing sickness that you do - it's the only control we have in a life that's WAY beyond our control, I think! I'm glad to "meet" you! Leah
