I am becoming WIPped (knitting humor, sorry)
First of all. Ding dong the mouse is dead. It showed up on my kitchen counter a few days ago (eww eww eww - I have bleached everything).
Next, I went Christmas shopping online. <a href="http://www.patternworks.com/">Patternworks rocks</a>! What fast service. I decided to get my nine year old a <a href="http://www.patternworks.com/PWShopping/partsview.asp?action=lookup&partno=900046&subject=U33&catpos=5">beginner kid knitting kit</a>. He has asked me a couple of times to help him learn. We shall see. I also got <a href="http://weirdolls.com/text/kidscrafts.html">corking kits</a> for both the nine year old and the almost-seven year old along with the book on corking. I remember doing this as a kid - except mine was homemade from nails and a wooden spool!
Christina (CC) on <a href="http://66.40.93.184/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi">TKGA</a> found a really cute pattern for a <a href="http://www.p2designs.com/images/patterns/set-xmas.html">Christmas tree hat with elf socks</a> that I will make for my friend who is due in a couple of weeks. I got the box from Patternworks today with the green, red and yellow yarn that I got on sale (yah, I really needed MORE yarn). While I was contemplating it, I decided I should make ALL the babies due around Christmas time, at least the hat. I am a labor and delivery nurse at a tiny, tiny military hospital in Sicily. The total number of hats will not be more than five! Totally do-able {insert maniacal laughter}.
Oh, and I decided to turn the scarf into a key hole scarf, just in case it is on the short side but so far it seems to be going well. I have about 10 inches done despite this being the craziest last two weeks.
Back to knitting!
