My holiday knitting, that is. Two hats and a Calorimetry. Plus a small micro-turtle done in brown cotton. (Note to Self: Don't knit anything fiddly in cotton. It makes you cuss)
Sadly, the photos are still on my camera or laptop and not uploaded quite yet. I'll probably to that tomorrow--along with folding laundry. Whee. What an exciting life I lead.
However, I may be able get get one more hat done. This would be for my baby niece, Sprite. I'm in no hurry, but it should be a fairly quick knit. We shall see.
I have a mystery package UPSing its way to me. I'm not too sure what it is, honestly. It might be some tea samples, but I'm drawing a blank here. It's not the right coast for my BPAL order to be shipped from, so...
Christmas shopping and wrapping were also finished up today.
Frankly, all I want right now is for the car I use to be fixed. Two Fridays ago, said car decided it didn't like that particular vintage of anti-freeze and left it all over the carport. Bugger. I realized this when, after dropping Imp and canned goods off at school, the car decided not to put out any heat and the engine get really hot.
I made the fifteen minute drive back home begging it not to explode on me.
We have yet to hear back from the cranky mechanic. He's a crusty old soul. I like him.

It's raining, it's pouring
It's the middle of December and I just heard a couple of rumbles of thunder. It's also close to 60 Fahrenheit. That's not right in my book. It's supposed to be a good twenty degrees cooler at least.
Although, this does explain the migraine I have.
I guess I haven't been knitting enough around various family members. My niece asked me this past Sunday for a knitted hat for Christmas. Green and with cables, thank you very much.
Now, I just relieved a skein of Sanguine Gryphon's Bugga! But there is no way I'm using that yarn on a kid that attracts dirt and smutz like a magnet. I refuse.
So, I trekked up to my LYS and snagged a skein of Universal Yarns Classic Worsted. This is the same yarn I used on Imp's never ending scarf.
Violet, my niece, will get an Owlie Hat.
I promised my sister-in-law, Bubbles last year that I'd make her a calorimetry. I don't know how many times I tried to figure that so simple pattern out, but couldn't get it.
This year? Dude....
So I made her one. One that's too small. GAH! Thankfully, I have enough of the Berrocco Ultra Alapca to make a bigger one, which is where I'm heading to in just a minute.
I'd rather be sleeping, though.
