I haven't had any commissions since last March. That was a lacy baby layette knit with 3 ply on 3 mm needles. It is now 2 1/2 months until Christmas and the requests are starting to pour in. (If I don't have needles permanently attached to my hands, they soon will be)
The first is a sweater from a Rowan book, Vintage Style. I am knitting the sweater in the same colour with the felted tweed. This is nice yarn!!!!!
Remember this sweater? It's the one that has been put on hold for Sweater Boy. It is the pattern chosen by a young man who really wants a Fisherman's sweater. He wants it in the best wool possible. Yah gotta love young single guys with money to burn. 
The third sweater is for a woman I've knit for before. I've left a message and am waiting to hear back from her. We'll probably play phone tag for a while.The fourth sweater is for a woman that would like a cotton tank top. I was told by not to expect this commission as this lady is on the frugal side and not eager to spend the money.
So that's what I'm up to for the next little while.
Until next time
Yours in Yarn,

Every fall and winter I make and sell pumpkin rolls. I moved to NM in April, so I had to build a new clientele. My husband distributed samples for me yesterday, and I already have ten orders! And my old clientele in FL is starting to panic, LOL.
Um. 3 jumpers and possibly a tank top in 2.5 months? Hope you weren't going to knit for yourself this Christmas! Good luck. :)
I could never do knitting for sale, I have too many family members waiting in line. haha.
I do fisherman knit too and you have to charge for that, it is a lot of work and hours. that sweater is really pretty.

Oh, you are oh so special! I am lucky to get all the projects for gifts and my own family done, let alone make some for others. Good for you! They are wonderful!
