I have an idea or two

I don't know about you but some of the most stressful times of my life have begun with me saying "I have an idea." However, this never stops me from doing anything. My first idea was to knit Clark a vest to wear on Christmas and in the picture for our card. After struggling with the pattern math I decided to change patterns. I am now using the Kick It Up pattern with some Good Shepard Tulip Tweed I picked up at the Salvation Army in Houghton a couple of years ago. I am about 5 repeats into the pattern and I am really happy with it.

Now this should be enough for me considering how close to Christmas we are and the lack of knitting time I have but nope. I have also decided that Clark needs a knit toy for his stocking stuffer this year. So I started a Sheldon using some of my leftover dishcloth cotton. Here is the start of the little turtle's head.

As of right now my plan is to knit a vest and toy for Clark every Christmas but we will see how this year goes first. Until next time ....

I can't wait to see how your Sheldon turns out.

If you and Clark decide you like knitted toys, or maybe even some crocheted ones. I have several Amigurumi books you are welcomed to look through.
