And what a week we're having!
Here's my mindless knitting. Cast on as a SockHead Sock, but I'm so in love with the ribbed fabric and how it hides issues with the handspun yarn, that I think I'm going to continue the ribbing. How bad could it be?
Yesterday was oddly sunny, which was a lovely change and made my trip over the river to the DMV much easier. We won't be discussing the photo that will be on my renewed drivers license because I just can't even...
Very much looking forward to the end of the frantic gift knitting questions on Rav. Wanting to knit ALL the presents is nice but, if you can't purl yet, that might be an unrealistic goal. Imma just saying. Also? If you're going to have a username that brags about your mad crafting skillz, you might want to be able to walk the walk. The divas, goddesses and such who can't cast on without a video and hand holding really don't deserve their usernames. And don't get me started on the world's dumbest fish..
At least, the whining about ungrateful people have already begun. That's a sign it's almost over, right?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a hat to work on.
Today is first time we have seen the sun (or even a hint of blue sky) in ten days. It was increasingly foggy during those days, so much so that 2pm seemed like dusk. [/whine]
That handspun is gorgeous!

The hat looks pretty - I think keeping it in ribbing is a great idea.
You are so cryptic. *L*

Hey, I'm the goddess of data, not of knitting! ;-)

You know, once when I was about 23, I went to the DMV in SF and the guy taking my picture took about 4 or 5 before HE was satisfied. Not so much lately....Happy hatting!

The hat is looking good! Excellent in fact!
Anyone who is going to knit for Christmas should start on December 26. There's a pretty good chance of getting it done that way....or learn how to knit first and then get the projects done. ;)
Happy knitting!
xoxo

World's dumbest fish?
I have to admit that now I want to get you started on the world's dumbest fish...
(And a couple of minutes ago, I never would have dreamed that I would soon be typing that sentence.)

I have never, ever, EVER knit ANYTHING for a gift. Ever. I've knit things and given them away, but never on a deadline.
...
I take that back. I knitted a cowl for Christmas. That person got it in June.

Oooh, that is pretty! It reminds me of malachite. You're right, the ribbing does show it off so nicely.
Stay warm & dry today. I too have a so very bad DMV photo. My one friend looked at it and said, "how you doing, Patty Hearst?"

Very pretty as I'm sure your picture is too. When is the deadline for Christmas knitting? ;-)
