I've been too busy reading lately to do much new writing, and the blog is suffering. So, in lieu of new words, I give you pictures! When I can't read any more, I find I can still knit--so I have been doing plenty of knitting the past few months. Here are a few new(ish) finished objects.First, the Christmas knitting. Much less than last year, but still a reasonable amount. Over there somewhere (I am fighting this layout and it is winning), a cabled neckwarmer for Mariah. Below (or somewhere else), slippers for my sister (blue and cream) and brother (red and gray).
Then I
knitted these (those, you know, over there) mittens for Mark (like the slippers, they are felted to make them extra-sturdy and warm). Then Christmas was over, and I did a
little knitting for myself: the blue ladder shawl (which I just finished last night, and wore today), and the lovely party lace scarf, my first venture into beaded knitting. (That one took me almost a year, but I didn't work on it from about last February until the end of December.) I've just started another shawl (again with the shawls!) tonight.Thank goodness for knitting.

Not to mention the oven glove/mitten for your nephew, which is an essential element in his kitchen pretend play these days!
I've been eying those clogs on Ravelry for a week or two now. I wonder if I was on your project page without realizing it was you....
You are remarkable! Please send pattern/directions for slippers, if possible, as they are exactly what I want to make, for M and then for me.
Those are all great - but why are the slippers sitting on the laptop?!?
Magpie, you probably can't tell, but they are sitting in front of my "project page" for Ravelry, the knit & crochet site--where I also posted their picture. Just a little self-referentiality!
