Today I decided that it was time to start finishing projects that are almost complete.

Needlepoint: A gift for my son is almost complete. A black border, a check for missing stitches, then a trip to the fabric store to buy black denim fabric to make the pillow up.

The needlepoint is a Chris and Claude design.

Knitting: I have completed knitting Ruana, a Sweaterkits design (#1212) and kit that I purchased at the Downtown Knit Collective Frolic last spring. It was knit with on 5 mm needles with four skeins of Silk Whisper. Silk Whisper is 30% silk and70% kid mohair.

First it was soaked.

Then it was wrapped in a towel to remove excess moisture, then pinned out on blocking wires.

When it is dry, I will sew up the seams.

Next, the second skein of Handmaiden Camelspin is now a yarn cake.

Half marathon training: Five km this morning which left my afternoon free to accomplish the above.

Tonight, more work on the scarf.
