Yes! I am knitting the last few rows of the border section! I made this much larger than pattern called for since I had 300 + yards of Jitterbug sock yarn and the pattern calls for 200 yards of DK weight yarn. I will use up as much of the yarn as possible! Happy New Year!

Knitting Notions!
Wow! My family gave me a laptop for Christmas! This has been on my wish list for many years, and I am so excited to have it now! My youngest set up the screen with these adorable alpacas, plus my identification picture is Bad Alice, the sheep from Trenary. Yes, my family gets me!!! :) So, now I'm knitting my custom fit sweater and using my laptop for blogging, Ravelry and all those important knitting activities. Thanks Family!!!!!
