Finishing

Finishing anything is proving elusive lately. The cotton hoodie just isn't going to work, I give up. At last, I stuck with this far, far too long.

Mom's birthday socks just won't finish themselves. Probably because I haven't been knitting them lately. I'm sure there's no correlation.

My blue sweater got frogged and restarted. Again. Urgh, I really hope this time it works.

I have managed a couple Christmas things. So far that's the only bright spot.

Other Stuff

I purchased a sheep skin for the critters. So far Soccer likes it best. In fact he growled at Squish for walking too close to it. No pictures of that unfortunately.

Here's Squish enjoying it before Soccer took over:


Mouse wasn't quite sure she trusted it yet:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

It snowed.

On Thanksgiving Weekend no less. Urgh. And it's staying cold for the next several days. This could be it until Spring.

And I looked at a calendar and realized I need to get moving if I'm going to finish knitting Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephew. No pictures for the obvious reason that the older two are getting to be old enough to surf the 'net.

Did I mention that it snowed?

Knitting

Things continue, I cast on socks for my Mom and I really need to finish them as quickly as I can and not just because her birthday's at the beginning of December.

I restarted the sleeves for my blue sweater and I may frog them and do them again as I don't like the way they're coming out the second time either.

I think I salvaged the cotton sweater and am working better with the gauge on it.

Current Weather
Mostly cloudy -1C. And there's snow on the ground.
