I go back to school on Sunday and I’m looking forward to being back and starting new classes. I’ve enjoyed my break, and I got a good amount of knitting done but forgot to take pictures. Also, the internet at my house is flaky and I’ve been trying to be sociable here in Indy.
Christmas Gifts for Others: Gloves for mom, a Wallet for Tabby, and Sheldon for Josh. I’m hoping that mom e-mai;s me pictures soon.
Now, I’ve started in on a pair of Mermaid gloves and I’m hoping they turn out nicely.
Ugh…I may have signed on to knit way too many projects prior to next week. I’ve got almost 2 of the 6 done. I went out and bought Jessi a sweater instead of finishing the shrug I started, finished Josh’s Sheldon last night now I’m working on his hat and scarf, picked up yarn for Mom’s fetching gloves and Jeff’s washcloth/soap holder thing this afternoon.
As soon as I finish typing this post I’m turning Charmed back on and knitting more. After Christmas I promise to post pictures and tell you all more about the wonderful gifts I made. 
Let’s just get things started right. I’ve been knitting for a couple years now, but only ever really made hats, scarfs and other small or simple things. I’m starting to get into the more complex stuff and have recently discovered a love of socks.
I’ve got a couple things on the needles, let me share.
First, we have my first real pair of socks. I’m using the pattern from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s Knitting Rules! as a starter but also playing with stripes. Hopefully a Christmas Gift if I can finish them satisfactorily.
Second, and the only other thing I’m actively working on is a part of my Halloween costume. I’m going as Toadette, reference pic provided first:
I’m knitting a beret hat and plan to attach knitted balls as the braids. I’m about 1/3-1/2 done with the hat.
That’s all I’ve got for you right now. Look for updates as I finish and start things.
