I really have been busy
The quarter finally ended...and early too. I was so excited. I took my last test on Sunday (12/17) morning and was home in bed before 2:30pm Sunday afternoon. The day was beautiful, but I could think of nothing but sleep. I of course didn't sleep, but worked on packing up my Christmast gifts to mail off and finishing a few things.
I have actually been knitting, just not blogging about the knitting...I don't have the time. It's the guilt of not posting pictures that stops me from posting, but I think I may be back on track now. Plus one of my friends told me she forgot I even had a blog, WTH? If no one is reading, why am i writing? Comment to let me know you're out there.
I didn't do a lot of Christmas knitting. I didn't have the time, and the one thing that I thought I would finish in time hasn't been touched in three weeks. C'est la vie!
I decided, under some pressure, to finish the cuffs I promised Joseline some months ago (read: 8 months ago). She's waited patiently and I have come thru in the end with the cuffs for her and for her to gift. I'm calling it my black collection:
You can't really tell what the beads look like, but they came out really nicely. The one on the right is my favorite. The beads are clear black with a silver lined center. They're so sparkly, so pretty. The one in the middle is my gift to her. It matches a necklace her sister-in-law gave her. And the one with the white beads is the one set she chose for herself. I was really pleased with the outcome, if not the pictures. :)
I also finished up the round baby blanket for my friend in NY, a scarf for my gay bf, and started one for his life partner....finally, there were the socks for my uncle. I'm calling this bunch my brown collection. For quite a while now everything I've knitted has been either black or brown...except for the blue socks which I've lost. **sigh** Here's the brown collection:
This is the baby blanket in process...the color here is awful:
Here it is completed, a much better representation of the colors:
The boyfriends' scarves:
Here is the whole collection:
Hopefully, it will all get to it's destination on time and will be loved by all who receive.
