Magic Witch

If all goes well, she will be done next week. I'm at 27480/31350 which means I only have 3870 stitches left!!

Magic Witch 87.6%

Today's SBQ was suggested by Lee (http://lakestitcher.blogspot.com/)
and is:

As we all know, stitching in the winter can really be rough on the
hands. What do you do to treat your hands well in the cold winter
months? Do you have any suggestions for creams or soaps? Or perhaps a
special regimen that you would like to share?

I use Udderly Smooth, because it goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. I also like Oil of Olay Quench. That's really all I do to take care of my hands all year round, not just in the winter.

I like Udderly Smooth myself, but I find it works best if I put it on when my hands are damp (not wet). It really locks in the moisture well. Given that this is not always plossible, using it dry works ok at least keeping my hands from snagging on my project.

My gosh, your witchie looks amazing already - what a fantastic job you're doing!
As for the winter's treatment, I always use a hand lotion called "Kamill" - don't know if it's available overseas - which contains an extra dose of chamomile and thus works perfectly to keep hands soft!

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
