Have a Merry Christmas!!

Yes, I have been knitting. I did finish the socks for my friend, not an amputee, she was very happy & understands clearly how many stitches go into knitting socks, but don't ask me to make you socks, I won't do it!! But Sockergirl will..........for a price........unless you are her #1 fan, then there are exceptions. No picture of that second sock though, it's gone now.

I also finished the fingerless gloves to match my hat & scarf from my previous blog entry.
I made a scarf for another friend. She gave me some novelty yarn a couple months ago. She's not a blog fan, so I can say I didn't like the yarn at all..........but I knew she did........so I made her a scarf & gave away the leftover yarn. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.......don't tell her. No picture of the scarf. I don't like it. But I KNOW that she will & that's what counts. It's wrapped & sitting in a bag upstairs.





I made a baby hat & booties for my friend who just had a baby girl. I really wanted to make a sweater too........but there are SO MANY things I want to make, I stopped here.






I've been working on a cotton chenille blanket for months & am currently back at it. Simple garter stitch pattern. It's kind of weird, but I will keep going on it & finish it up anyway.
I did start another pair of socks, but they are just sitting, now that I went back to my blanket.


We've had quite a week of snow here. I took the day off work on Friday, & just may have to again on Monday. The guilt trip from all the Type A workaholics..............yuk. I hate that. Though I don't like the snow, Lacey sure does!! Later today when the kids are out, Lacey & I will join them. Lacey has already started without them though!
