As the title subtly hints, I finished a pair of Christmas stocking for Ryan and myself.

Here they are, Unblocked:

Sorry for the rather low-quality picture, there has been a definite lack of good, natural light in our house lately, so it was necessary to use the flash. I have no excuse for the other crap in the shot except for maybe I included the phone for scale.

Lol, perhaps a Thanksgiving recap tomorrow? Considering my (already!) poor blogging track record, it would be quite the achivement for me. (Two posts in two days! Heavens!)

Side note: I joined the “Purling Puppies” webring! While exploring my ring-fellows’ sites, I ran across this. If you’ve already seen it, I’m sorry it just made me laugh. I love the doggies.

I don’t really have much to show because I’ve been working on 6 things at once. Yes, 6: Wicked, Summer Daze, NHM#7, last strip for the collaboration afghan thing, felted bag for Mom, some fingerless gloves for me…. and I’m sure there’s more. Ugh.

I have made a lot of progress on the Summer Daze socks, though. I might actually finish them in a few more sittings. They require a heel and a cuff and then I can wear them :-)

The bag I’m making for my mom is the Felted Tapestry Bag by Nicky Epstein (found in Knit It! fall/winter 2006). It looks like this. However, I’m using knit picks yarns because I’m on a very limited budget.

It seems that blogging takes away some my precious knitting time. Usually this is not a problem, but recently I have had very little spare time so knitting had taken precedence over blogging for the time being. I have some pictures, but they will have to wait until Monday when I return from North Carolina. (I’m going on a retreat with the ladies from my church!)

In my absence, please amuse yourselves by checking this out. That one is my favorite, but you should see the others too. I was actually laughing out loud!
