Unstuck in time

Well, in space is more accurate, but I'm reading Slaughterhouse Five atm. I'm back and forth between Ottawa and Montreal pretty frequently these days, what with the holidays and my new job! More on that later.

I got everything on my Christmas list (and then some)! A lovely camera that works and not one, but two hot water bottles. Oops. Yeah, one of those got returned. XD

This is just a quickie post to show off my camera/knitting.

Exhibit One: proper, sunlit photos of the Lombard street socks I made my mom for Christmas, as modeled by... my mom!





And the fingerless mitt(s) I made my little brother for Christmas. Technically, only the one was ready on the 25th...



The second one is almost done. =) I'll post the pattern as soon as I get it down on paper.

Later!

=^-^=

I haven't abandoned you! Well, not intentionally, anyhow; I just hate pictureless posts, and, me being cameraless, blog is perpetually pictureless. However! I have asked Santa Claus for a camera for Christmas. I have high hopes. I also asked him for a hot water bottle. I try to keep it practical. =D

On the knitting front, I wrote my first pattern! Well, technically I just knit the item, but the writing down part will come. I'm going to submit it to Knitty for the Spring issue(!), which means that even if I had a camera, I couldn't show you. I can, however, tell you that I've already made one for myself and have started on one for my roomie for Christmas. Exciting! Mysterious!

That's probably it until post-holidays, so until then, Merry Christmas! Enjoy this wonderful white winter.

I'll leave you with a confession. I couldn't wait for December 1st for either the Christmas music... OR the tree! It's a 6' sparkling silver tree and I love it.
