Macaw 2 & Concord

Added Macaw 2 and Concord to Etsy. I finished my Christmas shopping today. I have knitted 2 of this and 3 of this since Labor Day (early Sept). Still have to add fringes to the poncho. Must finish before the week is up as it is a Christmas gift. M1 has Viola performance and choir at school on Thursday. Friday is the last day of school for the kids and it's party time for them. I've been listening to viola practice at home for the past weeks and am glad that they will be on break. OK, I better quit gabbing as it's late. Talk later and enjoy the yarns. Almost forgot, the 2bnamed handspun is now Hollyberry.

Cute poncho and sweater pattern....did you use your own handspun or something else? I miss hearing viola music in the house since Logan moved out for college.

Oh, no. I cheated and used commercial yarn. M1 just started the string program at school this year(3 months of playing). She plays pretty well.
