Merry Christmas

I got to give my Christmas presents today. It was so much fun... I think everyone liked their gifts. Here is what I made:1 and 2: Irish Hiking Scarf for my future SIL Katie
3, 4, and 5 Turn a Square Hat for Uncle Harry, Grandpa, and Grandma Sturt
6 River Rapids Socks for my Sister Sarah
7 and 8 Plain Vanilla Socks hand dyed by me for Aunt Debra and Grandma Cuso
9 Bristol Neck Warmer Cowel hand-spun and dyed by me for Mom
10 and 11 sweaters made by Aunt Lisa and Aunt Debra for Mom and Aunt Susan (matching!)
12 Special Bonus of Murph on Christmas morning... he was enjoying the unwrapping

I will post my loot (I got a lot of good stuff) after we move on Monday. I sent it all home with Sarah. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Kittah

Roxanne, my year old ragdoll kitten is SO happy with the moving process so far. She cannot believe that there are boxes laying all over our house and the cabinets are getting cleaned out, which just means that there is room for her to lay in them. She spends her days sleeping and jumping from box to box at the moment. She is a spoiled brat, which I know is just my own fault, but I do feel a little bad. See right now she basically does whatever she wants. We are moving in with my sister, Sarah, who has two cats and a dog. Despite all our hard work she does not like her cousins and spends the whole time under our bed when we visit.... poor kitty has no idea whats coming!

I have finished my Christmas knitting. The scarf did not come out how I wanted it to. So, we dyed over it! Pictures later (I left it at my parents' house drying). Hopefully it dries better I think it will. We dyed it with black and vermilion and I think it will be very pretty.

School's Almost Out

It has been a VERY long semester and I am very happy to anounce that I only have one test and a final left and then I will be a graduate of Quinsigamond Community College! This is not my ultimate goal. I would like to go back and get a BA, but I am still very proud of myself as I have been working on my associates for several years while working full time. It keeps me busy.

On a knitting note I have been working on my last Christmas project. It is an Irish Hiking Scarf for my future sister-in-law, Katie. I am in love with it and I think I will be making another for me after Christmas!

Another Square Hat

I have been so busy with school lately that I have not done too much knitting. Here is a little peek at something I did have time to whip up.
This is the Turn A Square Hat pattern and is very quick and easy. I love the green with the gray striping. The yarn was leftovers that I stole from my sister Sarah's stash. (it is where I usually shop as you will soon find out if you have not already!) The hat is for my grandmother for Christmas. I only have one more Christmas knitting gift left to finish! More on that later, back to writing papers :(
