A little knitting was accomplished this week....just barely!

So, I started to get excited about a holiday next month and pulled these out to play around with an idea I have. Oh poor frustrated celebrator that I am! I have to say that doing this brought back memories of the Valentines supply box, and the annual process of trying to come up with something different. Some of the terrible things I have created in the past were truly scary…hopefully this one is better!

This week has been pretty busy on the school front, so not much on the knitting or crafting side has been going on in my little house in the bush. I am working on this Greenlycowl that I LOVE—the pattern is , and while I’m not sure it’s worth quite what the designer is charging, I love how mine is knitting up. I’m trying to use up every last bit of the beautiful laceweight I bought in St. Louis. Just in time for dry season! I might want to wear for a few minutes now and then! Oh! it can be so frustrating to be a knitting in a tropical climate…

I’ve also been working on some luggage tags. This mitten is the only one I have totally finished. What a good use for all those bits of sock yarn I have!

On the sock front, I’m doing the toe of this Doctor Who inspired sock. I’m making myself finish that before I swatch for the Bigger on the Insidethat I can hardly wait to cast on! I want to make another pair of these socks for myself, and I’m going to tweak the pattern a bit. There are a few things that I think I can do a bit better. Watch it end in disaster, but at least knitting rarely explodes in your face!

I’m off this weekend, and so far I plan to take a nap, swatch for Bigger on the Inside, and keep playing with my pink glittery mess. For now though, excuse me while I got deal with a mountain of marking that seems to have accumulated overnight!
