But of course, I've had the computer less than 24 hours and I've finished a little laptop sleeve for it!
Don't you love how the button pattern echos the fabric pattern?
It took me about half a yard of each fabric and about an hour, not including a quick trip to joanns to buy a new button, the one I had didn't match at all. This button was actually too big for the automatic buttonholer, but I had a great button-hole teacher back at the costume shop so I did it by myself, not the best button hole but it works.
And although I blogged about freaking out about christmas gifts, I didn't actually start any until a couple days ago.
This is a Brandywine shawl (LOVE the pattern, I want to make another for myself!) for my former coworker Shaina. The yarn is one from Rhinebeck, Steam Valley Fiber sock yarn that's on the thinner side but has a generous 485 yards in the skein! I made a couple of mistakes but I think we're good from here on out!
Work called me off and told me I didn't have to work tonight (going to get a whopping $32 check next week...) so I'm headed to hartford to visit some friends!

very cute laptop case! And that lace shawl already looks amazing, and usually unblocked lace looks like a disaster. Can't wait to see your final result, it's going to be stunning!
