For The Christmas Party…. Next weekend?
Not likely. Oh, I’ll get it started, and work on it religiously, until someone shines another shiny object (read…. project I must start) in front of my face, then it will be abandoned. I am such an ADD knitter!
This is what I’m talking about: 
Pretty isn’t it. I’m thinking maybe in green, with some beads…. let’s not go there.
Anyway, it’s a free pattern from Tahki Stacy-Charles, here: http://www.tahkistacycharles.com/media/File/29:52_FreePatKnitSIAMMistletoeTop.pdf
I love it! I’m thinking a nice mossy green with amber beads. I did think you were in the frozen tundra of northern MI where bare arms are not seen for at least 9 months of the year, though. And only speaking for myself, still arse-deep in gift knitting, I think I’d get it all done except for the leaves – the best part. Good luck!
Yeah, up here it would have to be a vest, or underneath a blazer (and parka!)
