I also keep working on the Wavy Lace Shawl. However, this is the problem of knitting a long rectangular shawl - once you get a hang of the pattern, it becomes a little bit boring. So, I just knit a row or two here and there ... that would eventually add up.
I had several false starts with the Great Amercian Aran Afghan. First, I got something wrong with the garter stitch border. Then, I found that the needle I used was not to gauge with that particular square I chose to start. Now, it's back to ground zero.
During one of my internet pattern-browsing sessions, I came across something I wanted to make ... a lot! Just that I don't know any recipient for the project:
Isn't it hilariously cute? It's a baby hat ... I'm not sure if there is any mother who would let her baby wear this hat, except me (that is if I had a baby myself, but that is not going to happen). So, I'm thinking of making it into adult size. But first, I have to examine the basics of hat knitting.
Husband is not a country music fan, but he "has an open mind to good music" (his own words). So lately, the song Country boy can survive got to him as a good country song. He thinks the lyrics are very romantic in their own way. Last night, he bought the song from iTunes and was browsing other country songs there.
Husband: Maybe we can buy a farm when we retire and grow our own food.
Me: (Silently knitting Bomber's sleeve) Mmm ...
Husband: And we can have lots of animals ... you can have as many cats as you want, you know.
Me: (Knitting paused) Can we have sheep?
Husband: Of course, for your wool!
Me: We should grow cotton too, then!
It's always good to have dreams. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday everybody.

Can I come live on your farm, too? ;-) I love that hat- so perfect for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Agnes! :-)
Hey, if we couldn't dream, what would we have? Harsh Reality, lol!
I love the chicken hat, you should make it just for fun! Maybe a "Chicken Hat A Long" ? Future Halloween costume?
Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Agnes!! Pumpkins sends many juicy chirrrps and purrs!!
I hope your farm dream comes true. My dream is to own a working goat farm: goat cheese and kid mohair!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Is this UFO Bomber that you speak of the one from Rowan's Denim Style? I have my eye on that one...
Have a happy Thanksgiving, Agnes!
I LOVE that hat! And I can see you wearing it! ;)
Isn't that the husbands are learning the importance of yarn. Look at your husband fast response, ships for wool! :D
Good that you are working on you UFO's, I should be doing the same!
That hat is hilarious! But I think it'll go well for your farm, heh, heh.
My husband will only agree to an apple orchard -- but I'm still working on him for animals.
