Where have I been?
Sunday, December 21, 2008 at 9:25PM
It's been more than a few days since my last post and I feel horrid. I hate to miss posting, but things have been so terribly hectic for me lately. I have too many things to get done and not enough time. Besides my posting taking a hit so has my knitting. I have to say that it looks like I'll only have 2 completed FO's for Xmas gifts this year 8( But hey, it's my first year balancing out my passion for knitting with all the other things I have to juggle, so 2 FO's will do!
First I'll share this luscious yarn I scored at Artfibers months ago, and don't think I ever shared it? It is Satori, and I purchased 300 yards. I didn't write the color # down, but it is basically black with a purple sheen to it, it's pretty cool in person. My camera isn't that great at picking up the purple, can you tell?
I bought this yarn specifically for my daughter, to knit her something with, and for her Xmas gift I've started to knit "Dayflower Fingerless" gloves from HandJiveKnits. This yarn is so soft and warm, I'll have enough to make me a pair or maybe a cowl??? Hmmm..
Here's the right glove done
I'm about halfway done with the Left glove, should finish tomorrow. My other Xmas FO is not done but will be my mission to finish after I finish the Left glove. I was so lucky to at least get this done, my time has been little lately.
In the midst of my crazy life, I got some yummy cookies from Marisol, she's so kind to have mailed me these.
I got these cookies a few days ago, and they didn't last long. Everyone loved them, and gobbled them up quickly.
Some other goodies arrived too, the last installment of the Woolgirl Sock Club 2008 came in, and it's a treat, we get yarn from Hazel Knits in "Whispering Pine" colorway. A very pretty color that fits the weather so well. In this package is 400 yards of sock yarn, a Sheepy calendar for 2009, personal hand knit tags, and a stitch marker.
Last, I'll leave you with my doggy, who looks so comfy. I'll also be heading to sleep myself, it's already going to be Monday 8( but hey it's a short week!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
