I’m working on something.
It’s a little nothing something that is taking TOO MUCH TIME.
I’ll show you next week and I’ll need another test knitter. Don’t commit until you see the pictures – this is by far the fiddliest thing I’ve ever made.

summer socks
Ram Wools wants your patterns! Their sock design contest has really tickled my fancy – especially with the promises of fame and yarn gift certificates for the winners!
Keeping My Resolutions Already
Irish Eyes Kathy is hosting a swap!
A Take and Replace Swap that doesn’t require knitting!
She’s going to fix up a box with a bunch of knitty stuff in it and mail it to someone. That someone (it might be me!) is going to take out as much as suits his or her fancy and replace it with with different stuff! This is perfect. I’ve got several single skeins of Noro that I’ll never make into anything. You want it?

The Drama
Ellie’s mittens are finished.
In 2010, I might have knit half a dozen things that I didn’t sell. In 2011, I plan to knit more for my family and myself. Maybe I’ll finish that sweater I started more than three years ago.
In 2010, Yarn Miracle bought necessary (but boring) things like new tires for the Jeep and ER glue for Ellie’s cheek. In 2011, Yarn Miracle is going to buy a new couch and chair for the den. They will have fitted slipcovers that I can replace when they show a lot of wear.
In 2010, I didn’t participate in a single swap (DRT doesn’t count). I will be a part of at least one swap in 2011. Is sock swapping still in fashion?

Sit Down for This
I’m knitting something that isn’t a toy or a CounterPain Square.
Be still my heart.
Ellie needs some mittens. I’m doubling Rowan Wool Cotton on US 5s (discontinued color – I had to find more on Ebay to match her existing hat) and working from the Handy Book of Patterns by Ann Budd. Great book, by the way. I’ve mentioned it before.
For mittens you need a couple stitch markers. Well, you don’t NEED them need them, but if you want to not have to pay a lot of attention, stitch markers are helpful.
If wishes were fishes…
Between the mitten leftovers and unraveling her hat, I hope to have enough yarn for a larger hat. I should have just started over with new yarn on the set – but the hat fit when I committed to the mitten yarn.
Merry Christmas

A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
