What to do when you can't go outside? Knit, knit, then knit some more!

It was cold and snowy last week, so I started four projects, and finished three of them!

Mug cozy

Fingerless gloves

I realized I haven't taken a picture of the Willow cowl, which I made the mitts to compliment.  I'll have to find it and get a picture posted.

New Year; some FO's; a bit of insanity

My needles have been smokin' the past few weeks.  I will showcase my FO's, then venture into my new insane project.

Red Robin Shawl

Advent Shawl:  Lace wintersweet

Capelet

The capelet needs to be blocked, but I love it!!!!  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  soft.

Okay, now for my insane undertaking.  Even though I was warned (thanks GerryArt), I decided to do a test knit for a deluxe version of the lace wintersweet!  I used worsted wt. yarn (1st mistake) and after a few sections completed, calculated the shawl would be 90 inches long!!!  I talked with the designer, and she okay'd me to omit a few sections.  I'm over halfway finished!!  I have until the 31st to get it done, but with 6 sections removed, I should be able to do it!  Pictures will follow at a later time;   I have to get ready to go walk my 4 miles!

Merry Christmas!!!

 A special Merry Christmas to my blog followers.  The bread pudding is in the oven, the potato soup is simmering, and Carl and I are waiting for son to wake up so we can open presents!!!!
Made candies and cookies.  (PS to DL:  the batch of your candy I made is over half gone!!!  Sam loves it!) Pictures are of my little gingerbread men, with some turned upside down to look like reindeer!!!  Sam did the decorating.  (He was not really into it, but too bad!)

Christmas Magic

What a wonderful afternoon we had!!!!  I'm so blessed to have such amazing, fun-loving friends!!!

Christmas Magic

A change of pace

This morning, I actually sat down at the sewing machine, and made two microwave baked potato bags.  I am gifting them to my walking gals. Boy, do we have fun traipsing the paths at Runge, or burning a path at the Mall.  I found this on Pinterest.  It's been kitchen tested and Carl approved.

Also, while I was in Columbia on Thursday, DH got the Christmas tree up AND decorated!!!  I'm going to have to keep him around.

 We had some pretty snow this morning.  I think it's colder in the basement where my sewing machine is, than outside!!!

Unikatissima December KAL

We are halfway through the "Advent Calendar" KAL.  I don't know about this lace knitting, but I'm doing it anyway.  It will definitely need to be blocked!!!

 Of course the above picture is upside down, even though it's right side up on photo stream.  Below is a close up of last few days.

Knitvent 2013; other FO's

I bought an ebook for Knitvent (a take on Advent). I've only completed one garment, because I'm also doing another KAL lace shawl!!  I also made another cowl with some leftover yarn, and have enough to make a pair of fingerless mitts.  Not enough hours in the day...
