A gaggle of Socks finished on Boxing Day and ready to hit the mail today. I'm pretty sure they won't fit now that Christmas is done but they'll make spectacular handpuppets one day....
And got halfway through one pattern of my first intarsia work. Dear lord I don't know if I could love any baby enough to do this again - it's like weightlifting for the fingers...we'll see if it gets done for March. I'm loving the newness of it all right now but I think we know that by the last pattern of the blanket the speed with which I knit and the speed that time passes will be completely out of whack. It's pretty fun right now though.
A couple of friends are coming over for board games and booze tonight. Between the knitting and the board game fascination have I completely lost my hard living edge?
Tune in New Years Eve to find out!!

Intarsia scares me. How hard was it to learn?
It's not so bad - the key is bobbins to keep the different colours separate. On the train I didn't have them and I got tangled in myself
Haha. Your Klaralund looks wonderful. I am so excited about the finished products (yours and mine). Also, did you knit those mittens from a fleece artist kit?
Agh. Never mind. I just read the post underneath it that says that they are Fleece Artist. Oops.

smooches
Glad to finally see all of the food court socks appear on the blog and the mitties are awesome. Can't wait to see you on the 9th
