Season's Greetings

We're taking our knitting on the road! Be safe, knit happy, and we'll see you again soon!

Making a List, Checking it Twice

I took a tip from Santa and made a list of my holiday knitting; it's all finished, so I can check that off! I even have a day to spare—think I should cast on for some gloves? We are a bit light on knitting content today. (Although I did get a new-old book in the mail today: Anatolian Knitting Designs. Awesome.)

I wanted to show you the finished scarf and hat made from the discontinued Noro Himaraya, but Mike and Jack were feeling extra frisky today and acted like camera-hog-dogs.

You can gather from the photo that the scarf is finished, but that's about all. I'm glad the pups are feeling so much better! Today when they take one of their naps I'll try to sneak a photo session in. I'm glad to be done with this; the yarn really tore up my fingertips, for some unfathomable reason.

It's good to have happy pups during the holidays!

Mikey says it's Tuesday! On Dancer, on Prancer, on Comet, on Vixen! Happy knitting to you all!

Monday Momentum

Fast weekend, right? Did you get everything done that you needed to? I didn't! But I did finish the Himaraya scarf, all 6.5 ft of it. Yay! I'm waiting until it's washed before showing you a picture. Tomorrow! I'm trying to speed knit a beanie to go with it—wish me luck! Curiously, with the Himaraya, something happened that has never happened to me before, and that is that it irritated the skin on my fingertips something fierce. Fierce to the point of abrading. Could that be the dye? The wool? or just a sympathetic reaction to the pups' vaccine reactions last week? I hope that whatever it is comes out in the Euclan wash.

Kinda Enabling

If you are hoping for a copy of Unexpected Knitting for Christmas, I see on the Schoolhouse Press website that there is a case of slightly dented copies for Kinda Sale. Regularly 40 bucks + postage, now 32 bucks + postage. Treat yourself, why dontcha?

Don't Miss!

Be sure to take a look sometime today at Amber's awesome footstool with knitted and personalized cover. Very cool.

Pups

Pups had a happy weekend. Thank you all, once again, for your very kind comments and concern for my little dears. Mikey felt so well that he wore his hat all Saturday afternoon.

It's Monday! Better watch out! You-know-who is coming to town.
