Phew it's over!

No not the gift knitting but I am happy Christmas is over. It was a nice day but it has taken until today for me to get back to normal. The edging finished on the blanket did not get completed but they understood and I am ready to start it now. I needed to take a couple of days off to recover!

My last completed object was a book sweater for my sister. Details located on Ravelry and my FO Blog.

I want to make one for myself now. I have plenty of yarn so that will be one of my 2010 projects.

I hope Santa was good to you - he sure was to us. I got a new purse from Jerry. He is also going to get my engagement ring fixed. One of the diamonds fell out back in April but luckily it has a lifetime guarantee so we only have to pay for labor. I miss wearing it so I can not wait to have it back. From my family I received Sock Innovation by Cookie A, the Saving Dinner cookbook, 2 Knitting mysteries (While My Pretty One Knits and Death by Cashmere), seasons 3 & 4 of Supernatural, the new Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw CDs, a Borders gift card and some new pajama pants. Clark got a TON of stuff of course. He got new clothes, pajamas, toiletries and utensils. He also got a lot of toys and some books. The Mega Blocks and Little People were the popular choice this year! It was a great holiday but again I am glad it only comes once a year. Until next time ....

Can it be done??

Can my gifts be done in time to wrap them Thursday night? I am not so sure. I started a book sweater for my sister yesterday and it is 2" from completion plus seaming. I am on the 7th of 9 repeats for the blanket for my brother and SIL. It will be tight but it may be possible.

Here are some modeled shots of Clark's vest. They are not the best but with his constant movement it is all I can do. I think his head has grown because it is very difficult to get over his head now but a month ago when I first tried it on him it was fine.


Next up is Sheldon. I had to sew a smile on him because he looked a little evil without it. The pattern was really quick and easy. I sewed his shell on because 1) his attachment panel came out to small and 2) it will work better with Clark anyway. I wouldn't want his shell to be lost one day!

Details as always located at the FO blog and Ravelry. Now I off to do some more knitting. Until next time ....
