Jam packed

My day has been jam packed with activity! I addition to attending church, we managed to take down quite a few Christmas decorations. We had kept them up so that family who couldn't be here at Christmas could see them when they came last weekend. We still have quite a bit to put away, but we've made a good start.

Today seemed like a good day to finish up one of my projects. I started this cowl a few days ago, and I only had two rounds left. The colors don't show up very well in the picture. It's so pretty in person that I think I may keep it for myself!

My ornament of the day is finished, so I'm still on track for finishing an ornament a day in January.

I had one skein of really soft chunky yarn in my stash, something I purchased by mistake. I'm not a fan of working with chunky yarn. I wasn't sure what to make with it, but since I'm on a roll with cowls, I decided that was the way to go. It's not quite as tall as the worsted weight cowls I've been making, but it's still a nice size.

I gave away all of my chapstick holders last week. I've had requests for some more, and I have quite a few small balls of leftover yarn. This is the perfect project to work on while watching football. Go Bears!
