Somebody stop me please....
I can't stop. I will soon have claws for hands.... From left to right:
Mitten's for my son's teacher. I think they need a little embellishing. He told me she wears a lot of grey. So she get's grey mittens. Another hat! This one is for ME!!!! I buy a lot of odd ball skeins of yarn from that sale bin at one of my favorite LYS. This is from that bin. Can't beat Noro for making a good looking hat. Finally on the far right is a very floppy, very big, yarmulke for a friend at work. I think I am going to make a smaller one as his head isn't that big. Husband said it looked like a doily. Oiy.
I am almost done with both father and son Pirate hats! I just need to finish the lining. They don't suspect a thing. Of course I am staying up WAY too late to finish these. I hope they appreciate them! I will take a picture on Christmas. You will have to wait until then!
Gotta go! I am so behind on my shopping! Too busy knitting.....

Whoa, look at you go!
Do you provide your services for others for a small fee? I need another pair of socks before Christmas. Think I can do it?

unfortunately i agree with your hubby the yarmulke does look like a doily.
hugs hope you get it all accomplished - dont forget to stretch your hands before and after you knit:)

put down the needles and pick up a beer!!!

Maybe if you felt the yarmulke it will be less doily/placemat like?
Be good to your hands! Think how sad you would be if you had to spend an entire month recovering (ie not knitting!)

I know you had mentioned purchasing some wool from me some day, maybe even a trip down here top the farm, Cara knows the way! I have recently been very busy doing fibery things with some of my wool and thought you might like to see: http://onaridge.blogspot.com/
