I swore to myself that I was going to post more and shit. Yeah, then the coughing started, sleeping became even harder to do than normal, and this whole cold sheeping thing just keeps getting better and better.
Then our Squishy made me go to Starbucks...
Double chocolate brownie.
After that, it's all sort of a blur...
I'm still ignoring the sleeves. Working on hats and socks and I'm not sure what all.
Exciting, right?
862 yards
Linky added for the sake of my stalker in AZ, who isn't smart enough to move it along on her own.
Yeah...
It's been an amazing year and I thank each and every one of you crazy in a good way people who helped make it so amazing. May the new year be bright, lovely and full of the things and people that matter.

An Into The Whirled batt and braid were purchased for a spinner, who lives on the wrong side of the country and has fabulous friends. At the end of the day, the fabulous shopping friend realized that she had gotten the batt and merino/silk/yak braid in the same colorway. There was laughing and reassuring noises because it's just fiber.
When the box of sexy lovely stuff arrived on the wrong coast, the spinner with the fabulous friends realized that she wasn't so much in love with batts any more. While lovely and charming, the spinner just wasn't that into batts. No hard feelings, of course. Sometimes, things just don't work out.
The spinner with the fabulous friends mentioned the batt on the Twitter Machine and, next thing you know, the batt was jetting off to a new life full of love, happiness and being petted while being called George.
At some point, the spinner with the fabulous friends sat down and turned the 4 oz merino/silk/yak braid into 636 yards of chain plied yarn. There was much rejoicing in the living room, and amusement over the fact that the colorway was too perfect because the yarn and the fabulous friends really are the Cat's Pyjamas.
The End
And I shall call him Semi because it's sort of a Sockhead hat. I never stopped ribbing, did the decreases differently and used less yarn. Whatever. It's fabulous and I love it.
I love that it's long enough to fold up the extra fabric for those times when being slightly hipster is not the look you want. I also love how the handspun looks. It was slightly wonky handspun but you can't tell.
Also back to working on my teal version of $5 in Paris. I fixed the issues with my version of the pattern and it's going well. Next thing I know, the Ottoman of Shame will be empty...
