Endpaper progress and pink tree
I didn't get as much done on the Endpaper Mitts this weekend as I thought I would. After my first glass of wine at Wine Steals with everyone on Saturday, I realized I didn't know where I was on the chart and didn't care to figure it out, so I switched to socks. I finally got back to it tonight during Heros and finished the patterning.
I love it! Just a bit of ribbing to go, and then another to make. I'd like to have these done for finals, since my hands always freeze and get sore during the 3 hour exams.
I also had a great weekend for Tacky Xmas, my tree came!
I couldn't get a picture without a flash to turn out, sadly. I'm hoping to get a tripod for my birthday next week, which would improve the quality of pictures here. Oooh, and my parents got me a membership to the Socks that Rock Sock Club for my birthday. Yay!

Hey, really cute! I LOVE your Christmas tree - one year, we had a silver tinsel one that rotated while colored lights beamed on it from the ground.
And happy birthday!

Oh boy! Those are stunning. I mean WOW! I'm proud to say YOU are my friend and that you can rub off a little bit of that knitting karma on me. (that's probably NOT the right word, but you know what I mean) GREAT job on those my friend!

The mitts look fantastic! Great job!
I'm asking for STR for my birthday too... Happy Birthday :)

Okay, since you brought it up, I was indeed thinking of getting you a mini tripod for your birthday. Are you saying someone else has had the general same idea?

Pretty! I'm antsy enough to start working on these as it is, and you're really not helping. :-P

Those are stunning . . . and quite ambitious for a wine-drinking escapade!

Happy birthday, late. My birthday is this month, so I bought myself two skeins of Socks That Rock, but I told the girl at the shop to pick out the colors for me, so I'll at least be surprised. :)
Beautiful job on the endpaper mitts, too, btw. Those turned out soooo neat!
