A successful 'Nail-it' November'


I had a very successful 'Nail-it November' and met most of my goals

First the big finish!

Teresa Wentzler - Above the clouds
Stitched on Sugar Maple Fabrics 'Papillo Ulysses' Lugana using the recommended DMC
Started Feb 2010, finished November 2012

And I also finished my hat

Simple Squishy Slouchy Hat from The Gentle Art of Knitting by Jane Brocket
Knit in Debbie Bliss Andes

I also wanted to finish Rosie's cardigan - I've done all the knitting just completing the sewing up to go, so I'm counting that as a success as well.  The only thing I didn't get too was finishing the childrens ornaments but that goal is carried over into this month.

Now for 'Delightful December' Heather says:
'The holidays are a time for relaxing...at least, that's the theory! No stress here...work on whatever you want and enjoy!'
What's really delightful for me is that having finished 'Above the Clouds' I can start something new! I realised that I haven't stitched on a Drawn Thread design yet this year, so I have a browse through my stash and have decided to work on 'Alpine Garden' which I have had kitted up for way too long.  Other than that I'm just going to see which of my wips take my fancy to work on.

Congrats on the great finish - I always think TW finishes deserve an extra cheer because they're so labour-intensive :-) Very nice hat too, well done.

You definitely nailed it! The hat looks great on you. I can never seem to pull them off, though I do love knitting them.

You sure did nail it in November. Well done on finishing a beautiful TW design, and the hat is great too - I bet that will keep you nice and warm during winter.

Wow great hat Karoline and nice finish on the TW piece. You deserve to start something new - I haven't done a DT piece in years but our EGA chapter selected Tocatto I for their 2013 SAL so I am excited to have one planned. Can't wait to see Rosie's cardi - hope you are enjoying the sights and sounds of the season - mel

CONGRATULATIONS!! Major finish, and it looks fantastic. I love the hat, too...but then I am a sucker for anything blue. =)

Oh my gosh, what a finish you have here. I'm more than impressed - as someone has already said here: TW finishes deserve an extra cheer.
