Here are Mike's finished socks. The second one took forever in between other projects, but they are finally done. 

We're going to call these Mike's "Fuzzy" sockss becuase they look so good next to our baby. 

Started a new project last night!!!

Argh! I wasn't supposed to start anything new, but this pattern was calling to me and it is crocheted so it was a little more mindless than knitting. I'm striping another three colors of Berroco Softwist in a crochet pattern and I'm liking it so far. I don't have any pictures to post right now, but I'll post one when it's done.

On Thursday a package arrived for me while I was at work. When I got home what was here but my new wool winder! I found an online consignment store that was selling it for $10.00 with $6.00 s/h. I was floored. I emailed them to make sure it was really the full winder and when they emailed back that it was I immediately ordered it. I wound five hanks of yarn into balls yesterday and it was so easy. I can't believe I ever did it by hand although doing it by hand does offer its own feeling of satisfaction.

Irish Hiking Scarf - 2005 

I started this scarf for my SIL in Berroco Softwist, but it's puckering so I'm not sure I'm going to finish it. Might frog it and do stripes lenthwise instead. 

This is the scarf that I made for my best friend from high school. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out when we picked out the yarns, but I'm in love with it now. :) 

Klaralund so far. It's going slow b/c I'm working on her between projects, but I hope to have some time to dedicate to her after Valentine's Day. 

Finished Irish Hiking Scarf 

Where Do I Start?

First of all, getting a job the week of Christmas when you have Christmas knitting left to do is not the smartest thing. :)

I've been swamped between working p/t outside of the house, p/t from home, and going to school full-time online. Yikes...someone stop me. So, I've been knitting, but no blogging time.

I don't have any pictures to post right now, but here's what's on the needles (hanging head in shame).

~ Klaralund - I'm halfway done with a front/back panel. Still haven't decided if I want it to be the front or back.

~ Yet another farrow rib scarf in the same yarn as the first one.

~ A scarf that I'm designing as I go in Berroco's Softwist which, to date, is the softest, shiniest yarn I have ever worked with and I'm loving it!

~ The sock to go with the previously posted pic of my first sock. :) It'll get done some day.

~ Knitty.com's thong-th-thong in Red Fixation from Cascade for DH's Valentine's gift.

~ A scarf knit on one 5 and one 15 in a novelty yarn that I can't for the life of me remember the name of.

Finished objects:

~ My Irish Hiking Scarf is finally done. I'll post pics of that soon.

~ A scarf for my best friend from high school. We went to Wally World and she picked out a couple yarns that she wanted knit together in a basic stitch to make a wide and long scarf. The yarn was pretty, but I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Oh, my god! I want one. It's gorgeous and it's all the yarn because all I did was hold it together and knit in garter stitch.

~ A couple little hats for my brother's girlfriend's daughters. Get all that? lol

Such a sad, sad little list of finished objects in comparison to my WIP list. It'll get there though. I've promised not to cast on for anything else until I have at least half of my WIPs done. Gotta get moving though since I have a KAL for a boot sock in Wool Ease starting on the 1st of February! :)

Happy Knitting!
