No, I didn't finish everything I set out to make. My poor Auntie Adie didn't get her socks (she has 3/4 of one), and 1/2 of a fingerless mitt. But, we are taking a trip today (won't tell you where, so then I'll have to post about it tomorrow - you know, blog-pressure), and I'll have knitting time on the way there.
I finished my father's scarf in time for his December 20th Birthday! Hi Dad, Happy Birthday again! It promptly went from weaving in ends to his hands at breakfast! No pictures to see here....moving on......
I also finished my youngest nephew's sweater. It JUST fits him! I also gave my eldest niece (she is 2), a pink sweater that I've featured on the blog before. Don't know when I featured it, and for some reason, I can't be bothered to link to it (weeks away from a blog leave one pretty lazy).
And lastly, I did whip out this hat (my photo skills again are just great, and the hat is already gifted, so I cannot take another picture) in one day on the way to see "White Christmas." It was a very good production, but very different from the original movie. Both by Irving Berlin. The singing/choreography/dancing was really great for a small dinner theatre in PA....YEAH! Get out there and support live theatre people! :)
Lastly, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to Jen....she is friend from high school days, a blogging goddess, and a woman whose wit and humor just astound me. Jen if you want to chime in with your actual occupation here, go ahead! Check out Jen's blog and leave her some comment love, because she's down and out with a broken leg.....
PS - to tie this whole blog entry together, I do believe that I got to know Jen better while doing a high school musical production. Not "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL" that everyone is gaga over lately (DD's in my house).... but actual live theatre. "Oh the theatre, the theatre." I don't believe that I was knitting in public back then, and maybe not even knitting at all. Those were the garter stitch days....But I do give Jen the credit for introducing me to Tracy Chapman, her first album (dating myself)....and the show we did together was my first show on stage (I preferred playing in the pit to singing about the Midas touch).
Long story short - welcome Jen....comment anytime! Happy to hear from you! :) My best to your family - love that you sister does Sheep to Shawl! :) I'm trying desperately to get DH to let me raise sheep! :) Ha ha ha!
