Christmas knitting begins ~

Amazing at it may seem, I have begun my Christmas knitting... yes, I realize that June has just begun, so I should be able to meet all my Christmas knitting goals, right? Since this is a Christmas gift, I can't really say who the lucky recipient will be...in case they might hear through the grapevine, or read through the blog lines....I'm knitting with Jo Sharp Silkroad Ultra, and so far it is wonderfully soft. I found a deal on it during the Sewing Expo in February. My fear is that it might be too big due to the gauge difference... but I'll let you know....
