Projects have been moving along. The Elegant Gauntlets are DONE! Babygirl has been bugging me for them, and didn't care that the 2nd one is slightly larger than the 1st. Gauge is slightly tighter, and by the time I noticed, I didn't want to frog and start all over.
I've started (again) Teva Durham's Turtleneck Shrug. I love this pattern. I don't know if it will be for me or babygirl, as she says she wants one too. I'm using Caron Simply Soft in blue. And using the combined knitting method, I have a nice crisp K3P3 thing going. It's funny, because when I first taught myself to knit years ago, I used combined knitting. Only when picked up the needles again, did I start knitting "properly". I can definitely see a difference when I knit any ribbing or cables. So, I will use both methods accordingly.
As for Nanowrimo progress....consider me a Nanowrimo dropout. My goals for this month has nothing to do with quantity, but consistency. I need to develop a daily writing habit. Once past that hurdle, I can work on daily quantity.
That blasted Turtleneck Shrug. I have the yarn, but I never seem to get around to casting on. How much easier could a project be. Maybe one of will start and spur the other on -- to completion.

Hi Deb! I'm so excited to tell you that you won the contest on my blog! I can't wait to hear from you to see what it is you'd really like to have and then we'll work it out among the three winners.

Looking forward to seeing your turtleneck shrug, Deb. I just started the second sleeve - must have my finished by next weekend, so am in a race against time!

Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
Some bloggers do a knit-along day. I think I am going to have a write along day. A couple of my knitting/NaNoWriMo buddies are going to continue with our writing (after Christmas! Too much holiday knitting to catch up on!) Are you planning to continue with yours? I'm trying to make writing into a habit. It's a good idea to pick up some GOOD habits every now and then! :)
