Noah wanted knucks, too...

So, here they are. They used up about 30 grams of yarn, not sure how many yards. I would have to say that I hope to be done with this pattern for now. Don't get me wrong, it is a great pattern, but three times on any pattern is more than enough for my tastes : ). Hope they keep the boy warm and happy!

What I've been up to this month....

So, we have a new family member. My sister-in-law and her husband had a baby earlier this month. As he is their first and they have been given so many baby things, I was delighted to receive a request for a new fangled nursing cover. (Even 12 years ago, when my youngest was born, I had never seen such a thing.) After googling around the internet, a trip to the fabric store and a couple of hours, I had a gift for her. It was wonderfully easy and well received!

My new toy!

Meet the Ashford Traveller! I have saved all year long and finally today I went to Carolina Homespun and spent a few hours test driving wheels. This one spoke to me. Isn't it beautiful? I am working on my first skein of yarn as we speak. Pictures will follow...

A few Christmas gifts...

Admittedly, these are not the best photos...in the rush to wrap them for Christmas and to finish them they got no proper picture taken. Isaiah snapped these as they were being opened. The penguin PJs for my niece have nice red buttons. Mom seemed to like the apron.

Branching Out

Here is a Christmas present for my mother. It is made of a wool/cashmere blend from the pattern Branching Out on knitty.com. I knit it on two plane rides--to and from Minnesota...quick and satisfying.

Golightly gloves and the Ballband washcloth

These are from Mason-Dixon Knitting (the washcloth from their first book and the gloves from their second). Perhaps the gloves are a bit frivolous, but Mark's mom uses rubber gloves all the time and I thought she might like them. A quick, unique knit and I do think she liked them.

So, here is my running total of projects now:

1. Finish Hailey's knucks.DONE
2. Finish my Dogwood Blossom Shawl.
3. Twirly Girl apron.
4. One other apron.
5. 24 party bags. DONE
6. Yoga socks. DONE (pictures to be taken and posted soon)
7. Golightly gloves and ballband washcloth. DONE
