HELLO DC!

I got a package from my secret pal this weekend!!!! PRETTY!!!!



There was a lot more candy, but a chunk of it is now IN MY BELLY. Plus some gerbil treats and Folk Shawls, and some pretty pretty KnitPicks alpaca in a lovely sea green. The amazing thing is, that I just got a few skeins of this stuff to play around with and found a pattern I'm interested in but was a skein short! And now I'm not! Same color! Same dyelot!

People of the world, take note: MY SECRET PAL HAS A SCARY TELEPATHIC CONNECTION TO MY BRAIN.

Kinda cool, no?

I finished up the Christmas stocking and am currently knitting a lace scarf with 133 yards to 100% angora in bright red...



So here's the original Christmas stocking.



And here's mine, all nice and done!



See the front...



Here's a close up of the Christmas tree with sequin ornaments:

Flickr's and Blogger haven't been playing nicely together lately. Or maybe they both hate me, I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm working on the pillow from that kit I won at Amy's Olympic Closing party



It's a nice pattern, but the chart for the smaller pillow is just plain... wrong. The website doesn't have corrections, so I'm keeping a list to send to them when I'm done.

That said, I want to knit it again, and probably will. I'm thinking I'll do the big 10 color version with all my peace fleece scraps I have lying around.



But this weekend, I need to finish up the Christmas stocking-- just blocking and ends to weave in and whatnot.

Life is pretty boring here these days. Work is eating me. It should stop next week when my massive training program is over! Then a few blessed months before grad school starts kicking my butt.
