The needlecase is coming along pretty quickly - thanks to a couple of looong meetings where I could happily knit. Hey, someone has to be accomplishing something at these things!

I'm twiddling a bit with Mom's sweater this morning. Knit a little... clean a little.... repeat as needed.

I managed to finish up four of the little caps before shipping them off to the capitol. Of course, having the 2nd declared a Federal holiday (no post!) gave me the additional time to finish them off.

The last couple of days have been spent working on Mom's sweater - Bebenhausen windows from the Celtics and Aran collection - as well as a Berocco pattern for a needle case. It's going well, although the yarn for Mom's sweater isn't my fav. It has a strange stiff feel to it. I hope it softens up with wear, etc.

Pics next time!

Exciting new toy!

The spousal unit got me a sweet little digital camera for Christmas! Squee! How sad is it that the first thing I thought of photographing was my knitting? :-)

Actually, it makes some practical sense. Best-friend asked me how many projects I had completed this year, and I found that I really couldn't answer. There were half a dozen "fuzzy feet", four of "branching out", three "yoricks", a Jayne hat, a sweater (fugly sweater) and several pairs of socks, mittens and knucks.

I really have lost count.

So - for 2007 we start with..... :::::::::::drumroll::::::::::::::::

What is it? Feh. It's an infant hat that will join other infant hats in Save the Children's "Caps for the Capitol" initiative. The due date for sending caps is tomorrow - I had so hoped to send half-a-dozen, but I'm afraid this one will have to do. http://www.savethechildren.org/campaigns/caps-to-the-capital/
