Knitting and Cake of Amazingness

I got a bit done this week other than you know, my regular job! I started the second baby vertebra I want to finish before heading home for Christmas. Interesting to be making it with a sport-weight yarn after doing it in light fingering!

There was a horrible incident with a bad leak in my living room, one of my favorite knitting books, and some yarn getting soaked, but it helped motivate me to pick up and finish off this hat I've left languishing for too long. Another before I go home goal; no pattern. Just a hat. With yarn that was once very wet and now needs a GOOD wash. Also, don't try to knit with wet yarn on wooden needles. Don't ask me how I know this; just don't!

I also got the heel turned and the leg started on this second Mystic Spiral sock while enjoying It Happened on 5th Avenue to celebrate Ruthie's birthday. Home stretch now! And, that is an EXCELLENT old Christmas movie!

Speaking of Ruthie's birthday, I made another of the fantastic but oh so rich chocolate chip cookie dough cakes. Too bad I'm not 12 anymore... Coffee to cut the sweetness was much needed!

Well, I had better go finish up things so I can go to bed. Only three more week!
