FO Friday: Deadlines and a Poll

Wishing all my Canadian readers a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend :0)

Autumn rose, we thought this rose had died last winter. It hasn’t done much this summer. There are 3 more buds waiting to bloom.

This week has been a complicated. Medical tests are at best inconclusive and I have been feeling like Pooh! More tests to come. Having had issues in the past, I am rather philosophical about it, I believe in distraction therapy.  If it wasn’t for knitting, blogging and reading I would be in a funk.

I’ve decided to concentrate on things with a deadlines and planning my next photo tutorial. I also have a question for you, so I created my first poll.

Oct Kal for the Carry along forum on Rav: Iced 

I am currently working on the collar. Going to be a favourite sweater.

Modification: Added 10 rows of garter stitch at bottom of the body, and intend to do the same to a longer sleeve. Started and frogged the collar, I didn’t like the cast on edge.

Christmas knitting: Cabled Hood with Pockets for DS (29 1/2″)

Loving this pattern, who would have thought? I have not been a fan of cables. Trying to convince DS that a scarf without hood is more useful. No success :0(

I posed a question to the Wednesday readers:

Is anyone interested in a Sports Bra, Ladies Underwear, or Unisex Boxer Shorts Tutorial? I am thinking of making some and will record the process. Please list which you are interested in. So far there has been one vote for a Sports Bra. Anyone else want to weigh in? I will probably be doing an example of each. So I am going to try a poll to determine which to plan first.
