Ok, I NEED batteries!

For the camera, that is. I have stuff to take pictures of, but no cash for batteries. Ah well, the tax refund will be coming soon... I hope!

Recent FO's:

1) the "mystery present", which was a shawl for Teresa, now on the road to B.C. and I miss her already. Fortunately, there is a fair bit of the yarn left, so I may make myself a scarf or shawl of it as a way to stay connected to my friend. Warm things are good for that.

2) a big-yarn, big-needle shawl for Mom - I used up the leftover LB Homespun from her Christmas shawl and made her a mini-triangle shawl to keep on her computer chair. It gets quite chilly here in the computer room so she really appreciated it. And I appreciated the break, because lately I've been doing a lot of socknitting on weeny needles!

3) socks! I finished my chunky socks and they are SO warm and comfy - they've pretty much replaced my slippers for 'round the house wear. I need to make more of those, soon.

Current OTN:
1) N8an's slippers. The second one is *thisclose* to being done, and I hope to present the pair to him soon. I'm thinking probably a drive-by 'a la Alison', drop them off to him at work. That's always fun.

2) Dad's sweater. *sigh* This poor neglected object. Back and half the front is done, and I could start the other side of the front but I'm stymied by the buttonhole process. I really don't want to screw that up and I'm afraid of it. Dang buttonholes. I may bite the bullet and start it anyway...

3) socks! Socks for me (the 2nd purple-globe, at the heel stage), and socks for mom (most of the first leg done).

4) chemo cap for the Yarn Forward contest. In "Eden" which is a bamboo yarn. This, in particular, I want to get pictures of when it's done because the colours are GORGEOUS.

5) headscarf for me, also in Eden, in Red Wings red and white. Go Wings!

6) the Manitoulin Moose scarf. Almost done the first repeat of the pattern. I think it will look well with my blue fall/spring coat.

7) a fuzzy thing. It may be a small shawl or it may be a front-of-pillow cover, depending on how much yarn it eats. It's Mamma Mia which is FUZZY but knits up dangerously fast. 15mm needles.

Next projects:

1) another sweater for me in Bernat Denimstyle, which is a cotton/acrylic blend. Blue-jeans blue, very soft and pretty.
2) more socks! I've got two more balls of sock yarn waiting in the wings, one multi-turquoise and one multi-muted-greens. Love socks!

Then, I guess, time to start on Christmas presents and charity knitting. These things come up fast!!!

As does game time. 20 minutes to puck drop - I need to get myself organized. Go Wings!
