In which mail is sent

Well, the Thesis Mitts were completed (took just over a week, all told), and sent off yesterday - hopefully the recipient will be able to snag some photos I can toss up for y'all!

In the meantime I am knitting... nothing. It's a few weeks in crisis mode for school right now, then I can knit again. Also I need to save up some money for the next project!

Sorry for the boring posts, but without a camera, I haven't got anything to show you! (If anyone had a spare digital camera loafing about, you know where to send it!)

Take care peoples!

In which my camera... is kaput

OK, so.

It's time to face the fact that my camera is nearly kaput. I mean, these are the best photos I've been able to coax out of it for the last few days.

But, the Thesis Mitts are ripping along. If I sat down, I could crank out a pair in a day, maybe two. As it is, I hope to have these down by the end of the week, provided all goes well.

Next in line, Daybreak! (I'm on the hunt for a really great mossy green/grey pairing). Following that, I'm contemplating a request knit of some considerable magnitude. This is, I know, a significant departure from my knitting tendencies, but I am considering it for now.

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday, and a fabulous week.

In which there is little content

So, I finished the hat, and gifted it... and completely forgot to get photos! I am the worst blogger! By the way, the yarn was Araucania Ranco, and the pattern was Sockhead Hat by Kelly McClure, and it was very very well received.

Next in line is a pair of Endpaper(Thesis) Mitts, but I am resisting casting on until I get a bit caught up on schoolwork. After that I am thinking I will knit Daybreak, but I am waiting on colour confirmation for the yarn.

Hope you are all well in this February! I promise I will post something substantial soon.

In which I buy more yarn. And am very sick.

And, as promised, the colours for other new project.

And now, back to not getting any of my copious amounts of work done. Too busy leaking sick juices...

In which... cat butt

So, socks are nearly done.
Sadly, pretty much every photo I try to take looks something like this

or this.

Yeah, thanks a lot cats. There will be cat soup on the menu if some certain furry someones don't smarten up.

In other news, I started something with this!

But I will talk about that later. Also, about the next few projects in the lineup.

Have a good end of January, peoples!

In which the rain goes away?

It's a cold, grey, wet week.

Time to cast on a little ray of sunshine.

In which there is some Marvin Gaye

The holidays are... a special time.

IMG_6194

A time of warmth, family, seasonal diversions, ungulants, romance, ungulant romance?

A very special pair of mittens for a very good friend.

Above we have Elton and Laddie,

May the holidays find you as lucky as these... darling little deer.
