On track!

This post was composed entirely during my conversation with Bell. That includes downloading and resizing/resaving pics, people!! Hopefully when it is over all these problems we've been having will be cleared up.


Went for a relazxing knitty weekend at a close friend's cottage...



I had a blast not only knitting, but baking! Such a gloriously large and well-equipped kitchen, and they let me use it! I miss baking. It is hard to do in our kitchen, which makes postage stamps look roomy.

I love seeing people I love love knitting! Socks are such an initiation of sorts, aren't they?



She has already made a lot of progress since that picture was taken!

I did manage some knitting as well, though little of it was accomplished during the 6 hour return trip, as most of it was in the dark. I miss summer daylight already!

I (nearly) finished some Christmas knitting!



I saved the thumbs for home, since I didn't want to bother with the magic loop for a 15-st thumb. I will retreat back into my comfort zone and use my dpns. I used magic loop for two reasons: I got to use my addis :) and I discovered that I only have four 4mm dpns, much to my chagrin. Enough for thumbs, though!

These mittens are made with Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Kiwi from Alterknits. I have never tried this yarn before, but I really enjoyed knitting with it. This skein felt softer than the rest, and the yarn was quite even for a single. I am really fond of the mo-hairs sticking out of the fabric:



And the price was quite reasonable for the yardage. I will keep this yarn in mind for future projects, certainly!

I started a mini-gift too, but didn't get a picture of it.

Still on the phone. It just came to light that they never actually moved my internet from Exeter when I moved... And yet here I am! Ah well. Windowsill pics to come later!
