And It Begins

Christmas wrapping, preparing, etc.

I finished Andy's Socks.



Pattern: Little Two stitch cable, knit toe up. My own, if there's interest, I'll write up the pattern.
Yarn: Cascade Heritage, "Forest"
Needles: Magic looped, knitpicks 32" size 2.25mm circular.



And I've started wrapping, mostly because I'm overexcited about these little chinese boxes...



All knit gifts, and I have four more to knit, half a scarf, two more pairs of socks, some gloves, a baby sweater, and maybe some mittens (notice how the list grows?).

A couple of those things can be pushed back, though, and Mike STILL hasn't asked his mother and grandmother what they want (but if it's not some thing small, they can blame mike for not getting it on time!).

Christmas in Pictures(with captions) (100th post!)

Nana with Shawl (Look close, she's wearing a red shirt too!)


Grandpop with his weird coloured-scarf!


Burt's Scarf with it's lovely label. I had fun on Christmas Eve!


Box of Yarn that I got from mom!


I did Finish Jen's socks (on Christmas!) but failed at getting a decent finished picture, so you get that.


Mom loved her sweatervest, and I think she looks lovely.


Dad's ipod touch case was surprisingly a hit - he's a hard guy to please normally!

Now for my presents from others.
:)


All those books, plus Sensational Knit Socks and Knitting Workshop from Nana. LOVE EZ now! I wish she was my grandma!


My boots. This picture doesn't do them justice, they are just so pretty, wearable and comfortable.


Excuse the lack of focus, I was trying to get the yarn cakes in the picture too, to show how busy I was after I got it!

(Enjoy your vacations/ yarn/holiday/food!)

My birthday

It's not until monday, but I had a party for my friends yesterday, and today is the one for my family. Today I get clam chowder and cheesecake. yum.

I got some cool friends. My gifts were a knitter's row counting bracelet, 3 gift cards to ACmoore, on gift card to joanns, and starbucks gift cards! And these:



The girl I taught to knit a while ago forgot her knitting - so she knit some of the christmas gifts!



Grandpop's scarf - with Rainbow Lorna's Laces Sport - hey, he asked for the rainbow!

I finished Ella!





More tomorrow...I might have a snow day! Sweet...

Print O the Wave: A FO and Christmas Panic Attack Part I

I really cannot capture this with a camera. More FO pictures when I give it to my nana on the 25th!









(that bear's butt is the butt of Mrs. Edith - my koala bear. I never had one when I was little, so now I've got one!)

WIP PILE:



And Elijah/Ella like's it's new friend - new yarn!



If you look above, underneath you can see the beginnings of a scarf for my grandpop....more later. Blogging cuts into knitting time.
