How I spent my Christmas? Hanging with the family, knitting, watching degrassi, drinking, and seeing many movies.

Movies seen so far: Wallace & Gromit (finished seeing it), The Producers, Fun with Dick and Jane, and Chronicles of Narnia. Things I've knit: Loopy scarf and Princess Leia hat. New things I've had to drink: Hpnotiq and Absente (blech). Soon enough it will be all over and I'll have to go back to Dallas.

Third time is the charm. Not too tight around the neck and not too short in the sleeves. Made from Bernat Lana yarn in black and based on the devilish shrug from Craftster. I'm hoping to make the hood at a later time because I don't think I have enough yarn just yet. It's great to wear when it isn't chilly enough for a jacket but you don't want to be without a little something for warmth.

Scarves

You can never have too many scarves I say. The first is a seed stitch scarf made with alternating stripes of Noro. The second is a color striped version of Yorick that I made for my sister. Last but not least is my Good Ole Cables scarf from Yarn-a-go-go.

Hats Galore

Four recently and not so recently complted hats. The first two are Halley Comet hats from Marnie MacLean. The swirly colored one is my first attempt at multiple color KoolAid dye. The second replaces the patterns 1x1 rib and roll brim with a seed stitch. The bottome left is my Mary Jane Pithy Hat and the last is my Magknits Tam hat. Now that it is nice and chilly outside I hope to get some usage out of these. I'll just have to wear the lacey ones over my wig on the nippy days.
