Pictures I have not.
There could be pictures; I'm just too lazy to make them.
I have finished:
- two more teeny-tiny sweaters
- a ribbed hat using red, white, and blue strands of Cascade 220 held together (mittens will follow); it looks wild, but not entirely bad
- one Koigu sock; the other is just past the heel
- two Lion Brand Santa hats, and I admit that the chenille was not awful, nor was the entire experience. But please note: don't try to make the hat bigger. Even though my head is 22 inches around, and my boyfriend's is 23, the "20 inch" hat size fits us just fine. After making mine just right, I increased a few stitches in the white trim in order to make the edge a little larger for the boyfriend.
I have yet to finish:
- three more teeny-tiny sweaters
- aforementioned red/white/blue mittens
- 1/2 of a sock
Piece of cake! (Let's hope I didn't just jinx myself.)
I may be dreaming, but I'm hoping that I'll have everything done by Wednesday, leaving Thursday free to knit for me.
I have reports of adventures!
Today Beth (from Yarnenvy) and I slid around the Twin Cities in my trusty Ford Escort, braving the iced-over roads for YARN. Always the enabler, I jumped at the chance to show her around a bit. I wasn't expecting this weather, of course, but it went very well, and I was able to introduce her to the Yarnery and Three Kittens. At the latter, she bought some gorgeous Mountain Colors Wool in the Woods yarn to make Clapotis, and now I really want to make one, darnit. I hope you got home safely, Beth!
