So I fell off the wagon
Posted By Leslie on December 31, 2009
I had all these hopes of posting every day, and what happened? What always happens? Life gets in the way.
In this case, holiday knitting. My list was a little shorter this year, or at least it started out that way. I ended up with a quite a few items made, but most of them small things. My favorite knitted item was Laura’s gift this year, which were Jack Sparrow’s Favorite Socks, made in Wollmeise Rittersporn & Digitessa. I didn’t get super great photos of them, but here’s one:
Laura & Michael exchanged gifts, and oh how well they know each other. Laura knitted Michael’s vodka a scarf & hat (to match the one I made him for xmas), and Michael bought some Crystal Head vodka, removed the vodka, and filled it with Patron Silver, then dressed it up as a pirate. I maintain that were I to die in a horrible accident, they’d end up together in the end.
I also spent some time with my family, which is a rare thing, trust me, and relented into having a photo taken of my with my thin, lovely sister, Nicki.
Also, I now have proof that my son & one of my very closest friends own the same pajamas. Review:

And my dear friend Jackie:
Lots of stuff has been going on, and hopefully I won’t be a slacker and I’ll actually post about it. In the meantime, check out my swatch for the Argyle Vest I’m going to cast on for tomorrow!
I’m honored to be featured! Also, excellent depth of field in that last shot.
You look fantastic – what have you been doing with yourself and where can I buy some fantastic?
I love your argyle swatch! What yarns are you using? That’s my favorite shade of red ^_^ I wish I had the patience to make something larger than socks or a hat :/
