Phew!
Well, I have been away, not AWAY AWAY, but away from the blog. I have been knitting my fingers to the bone. But I do have pictures to show for it. They are Christmas presents. Well all except 2.
I finished my mother-in-laws scarf. OH MY, I am in love with Alpaca! The color of this picture is dead on too. The yarn is a raspberry color. And SOFT! mmmmmm...............
Here is the hat I can't make enough of
this is for my friend Helen at work. I used the same yarn as my flower basket shawl. I held 2 strands together. It is really bulky and warm. I hope she likes it!
These next 2 are well, just in case presents. The purple one is mine, I have been wearing it all the time. The green one is for whoever. I have a blue one too, but I haven't sewn it up yet. It is all left over yarn from my harlot poncho!
Julia came over to my house over the weekend and she needed help with a bootie. I made one (but I still have to do the other one) It is from the calendar with all the patterns in it. I really like this bootie, it is a little big......
Suki insisted on being photographed with the bootie, she loves attention, don't you think?
And finally a picture of Aiblhinn.
This is a good mindless project that I can work on over the holidays. I love the yarn, don't ask me what it is. It came out of the stash box with out a label. I had 3 skeins. I think I will have enough. I agree with all of you, it is a design element. It is for me too, so nobody will know.

Aibhlynn mindless? Good for you! It seems that I'm not very good a counting to three. But it is pretty quick.

Woohoo! FO! My goodness, someone's been a busy knitter huh? You're mom's scarf looks great! And all those hats, you definitely can't have enough hats!
BTW, your cat looks just like my cat! Though I'm sure there are a lot of black cats out there. I can feel special about it if I want to though!
Have a great holiday!

Am just starting Aibhlynn today. Was reading the pattern last night, did it turn out as mindless as you thought? As another Naturally curly person - have you read "Curly Girl" or found Naturallycurly.com?

I love the scarf you made for your mother. I have some alpaca intended for my mother in-law's scarf, but haven't found a pattern yet. Where did you find the pattern for the scarf? Or, is it one of your own?

Love love love the hats! Just came upon your site... you are Georgia's site of the week. What pattern is it? I must make one! and I agree "fun fur" is not fun.
