On (and Off) the Needles–December 28th

I can’t believe it’s the final OTN post of 2012.  I have had quite a productive year knitwise!!

As of right now I’ve knit nearly 9 miles of yarn this year….that is so hard to believe!!

I did manage to finish up Christmas gifts (one hat was finished late and will be given today).

The socks for my cousin were finished on Christmas morning….

My daughter’s hat was finished last weekend…

And I started and finished a hat for my daughter’s boyfriend…

A hat for my Mother in Law….

And I’ve started and nearly finished a Hoodwink Scarf for myself.  This is knit with String Theory DK yarn held double on HUGE size 11 needles.  I feel like I’m knitting with jumbo crayons.  But wow is it ever knitting up fast!  I cast on Wednesday night and am about 40 rows away from finishing the 2nd scarf side….Woohoo!

Well being the holiday season I have been knit knit knitting along….

I finished the hat that was on the needles last week….

As well as another hat….

And these socks are still on the needles, I’m turning the heels right now…

I also started another hat as a Christmas gift….

I have to finish the socks and hat that are on the needles and knit another pair of socks and 2 more hats before Christmas….  I know what I’ll be doing over the next 4 days…

This week I also delivered the gifts for my coworkers and bosses.  They are all very well loved and I’m thrilled to work with such knit worthy folks!

On (and Off) the Needles–December 14th

Sorry I missed checking in last Friday, early last week I slammed my pinky finger into my car truck and managed to break the finger which has laded me in a splint for 4-6 weeks.  But I won’t let that get me down….I have Christmas knitting to finish and by golly I will get it all done!!

So first…..off the needles since my last report…

I finished the Stripey Scarf and I just love it!

I also finished the Sloucy Tuva Hat that I started a couple weeks ago…

The I started and finished a pair of Café au Lait fingerless Mitts for a gift.  Love the yarn and the pattern.  The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Mediumweight in a Rare Gems colorway….

Then I started another sockhead hat for a gift.  I’m more than halfway finished.  I feel like I can knit these in my sleep now LOL

And I started my cousin’s socks.  This is another pair of plain vanilla style socks using self striping Opal yarn.  Love this yarn!!

After these projects are finished I have another pair of socks to knit and 3 more hats.  Here’s looking at a lot of long nights knitting between now and the holidays!!

A Little Sewing Time….

I actually spent a little time at the sewing machine recently and made a project bag for my friend Melissa to send out in a Secret Santa style swap.

I had a ball making this fun little bag!!
