Julia from Knitterly Things held a contest, and I was picked and she sent me the stuff in this bag.

Sweater weather, for sure

Today is absolutely freezing outside. Nearly every county north and west of us got a snow day. But today...Today, I am knitting a sweater to counteract the freezing.

I started this this morning in my first hour class. I'm hoping on finishing it tonight so I can give it to my best friend who is going up the the UP to visit Michigan Tech. I hope she likes it. The neck warmer and the school.

Just thought you should know

All the knitting is finished on my Tangled Yoke. I'm going to bed now. I have school in the morning.

Back to me

A couple months ago, my sweater progress stalled, but now that knitting for the craft show and holiday knitting is over with, I've been able to get back to knitting for me.
The cable chart rows go on for forever. Hundreds of stitiches. But now I'm back down to 165 and almost ready to do the shortrow shaping. I can't wait to finish this and get some use out of it this winter.

I finished a pair of socks! I never finish a pair. Sure, I finish one, but never more than a few inches of the other. And these weren't even worked two at a time.
The stats:
Yarn:Kool-aid dyed by me, with Knit picks sock weight bare yarn 100% wool
Needles: 2.25mm Addi Turbo 40 inch circular
Pattern: Basic sock, shortrow heel couple inches of ribbing at the cuff
Verdict: I'm glad these didn't pool very badly. They just striped! But they are awfully pilly, which isn't very nice.
The two following photos are my Christmas present from Santa. How awesome! I've been wanting these for two years. I spend all Christmas morning winding yarn. I think I ended up with about thirty balls, with quite a few skeins left over. I made yarn men with the balls. I'll get pictures. They're cute.

This is the first of a pair of mittens. Elliphantom's Herringbone Mittens. I finished the second one at 6 AM on Christmas Eve morning in order to wash, block, and dry them to give to the recipient that evening before dinner. It's a good thing I had iced coffee.

Sorry that it's been so long without an update. I've just been lazy, that's all. =]

Show Jen some love!

It seems that after her short absence, she's lost forty bloglines subscribers. It's probably just a bloglines flub because who would want to unsubsribe to her? Click on over to her contest and leave a comment about your favorite holiday tradition and be entered to win some sock yarn!
