I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I would say that I hope it was restful, but I know mine wasn't! It was great, don't get me wrong I had a WONDERFUL holiday, but it was a lot of activity in VERY short time.
I did get some very cool knitting related gifts this year. My mom and dad got me the interchangeable Harmony Wood knitting needles from Knitpicks.com. Knitting Momma Kim and Poppa Roger got me some COOL stuff . . .
Ahhh, I love my new swift, and yarn, and ball winder. I love it so much I had to hug it. My new swift is wonderful and spins to nice and evenly. My yarn is so beautiful! It's the colorway of Deathly Hallows: Elder Wand. It combines two of my most favorite things, knitting and reading! I can't wait to make something wonderful out of it! Knitting Momma Kim found a few Harry Potter inspired designs that would be perfect for my Harry Potter inspired colorway!
I made a really cool hat for my brother this Christmas. Tate is big gamer and loves the "old school" kind of games like Pac Man. So I made him a hat and used duplicate stitches to stitch on Pac man, Power Pellets, and a Ghostie.
He does this most everywhere he goes. Sits and plays his video games. He has his hat on, not straight mind you, but I think he likes it!
I made my other brother, Kent, and my Dad a hat for Christmas. They were very very sneaky and avoided digital capture . . . so far . . .
I knitted my grandmothers Tudoras from Knitty Winter 2007. They were super easy knits and were excellent for last minute knitting. I made neckwarmers for my grandpas. There were basically scarves with a button. But they were a hit.
As for my next project . . . a sweater. It's a top down raglan. I've not attempted one before, so this could be interesting. . .wish me luck!
