Big Projects

I'm working on a big project, this doll, that needs to be finished.  I finally got the last bit of yarn that I need so I think I can finish it uninterrupted, finally.  This is a great gift, but, I'm not sure I would ever knit it again.  After that, I have a gazillion cloths to make so I have some gifts on hand for the holiday season.  The goods news is I've grown speedier so a 50 line cloth takes me far less time than it used to when I was fumbling for the stitches.
