Catching Up

Another Christmas gone by... hard to believe, but when I realize that I haven't posted in over than a week, I know I have been busy. Very busy!

In between the baking and cooking and generally making merry, I did manage to finish knitting my blue gloves. 

I could have finished them sooner, but I am addicted to my new book of Sudoko puzzles and when I have had half of a nano-second to sit and knit, I've been stuck in a puzzle. I'll have to find a balance... it was 70 degrees Friday, and it snowed a little on Saturday. I will need these gloves! I have a lot of yarn left over (Heritage Paints from Cascade). The next time I am at Twist, I am going to rewind it through the yardage counter to see if there is enough for another pair of gloves. Even if not enough for an adult, I am sure there should be enough for a child. 

DD22 was positively thrilled with her Pop-Up Paws (she calls them glittens for half glove, half mitten). She accused me of making them for everyone I know EXCEPT her, so I remedied that situation. I made these with the Araucania Yarns Toconao that I bought at Loops in Tulsa last month. I am dreaming of a whole bag of that yarn in the same colorway. I think it would make an awesome sweater. Unfortunately, she is gone again and I don't have a picture. I had one, then the camera messed up, then I reformatted the picture card, took another picture, and now I have figured out that it's the card that must be worn out because the pictures won't download. 

The camera fiasco cost me all the Christmas pictures that I took this year. I am so bummed. There are a lot of similar ones that my DDs took with their cameras, so I will have to raid their computers. Lucky for you all that I can't bore you with pictures of gingerbread houses, etc..., but I also lost some pictures of really neat knitting related gifts. 

Hopefully you are finding quality knitting time as the year winds down!
