Holiday Knitting

I LOVE having time off from work! They really should give me more. But for now, I'll be greedy and spend every minute I can working on stuff that's important to me. :) Here's an example: Yarn purchased before the BHE and my trip to GA - check. Circular needles purchased at Cast-on Cottage while in GA - check. Begin working on super cute tam on the way back from GA - check. 2 days later - a nearly finished project.











However, the satisfaction of using up some yarn (still have about 1/2 the Cascade 220 and maybe 1/10 of the Noro Silk Garden) before it even hits the yarn closet - delightful.

Holy Christmas, Batman!

We've had a wonderful holiday here in not-so-sunny GA (yeah for Christmas on the road!). My family is awesome and has gifted me so much sock yarn, I *almost* feel like I don't need to buy any more. I'm sure this feeling will pass once sanity is regained. But - a fabulous Christmas present - I'm now on Ravelry! Look for me as LeighGreyKnits. Must go sale shopping now!
