Well, for the most part at least.
This week my brain has been on overload of all the last minute Christmas things I want to knit for people. Whether or not I am going to get all of them finished BY Christmas is another story.
I love this time of year. No matter how awful life can be there is always something almost magical about Christmas. The lights, the baking, the secrecy of gifts, the gathering together of family and friends. And best of all, hot cocoa and fresh wound yarn gliding through my fingers. Love, love, love.
Anyway... here are just a few Christmas gifts I've got on the needle that I figured I'd share:
I found this yarn in my unbelievably massive stash and thought of a friend who would love some neat warmers with these fun colors...
Then off to the land of Ravelry where I dug through some clever designs and landed on this lovely little doohigger pattern called Dr Horrible's Sing-A-Long Wristers inspired by the goofy webisodes of Dr Horrible (which I have yet to actually watch in full...but I'm intrigued, no doubt...). Anywho! A few short hours (and margaritas) later, it started to look a little like this:
...To follow we have some socks patterned by the FABULOUS Cookie A. Kai Mei is the name of the pattern and Maiden Yarn Fibers sock yarn is to die for:
And last (but never least) is the absolutely adorable Elijah. Love knitting this one and I believe that every kid should have a stuffed elephant.
Until next time...

I like the knitting, Gabi!!! Teach me how to crochet! Or I can learn via your blog. :)
Hooray!!! A reader!!! I feel like Julie and Julia, just a little less disciplined... hehe...
I really wanna teach knitting. I just don't know that I'm a good teacher! :-)
