Hey Ho F-O!

OMFG. I finished something. Miracle of all miracles.

A simple garter stitch rug in random stripes. It's some old Red Heart bulky from the stash. Hopefully, it will help keep my floors a little warmer.

I finally got all the photos up of my Christmas and Birthday loot (with notes stating what they are and who gave them.)

P.S. Still no sightings of the MIA Katia. I'm making up theories about Jazz Guy* sneaking over and stealing it now.

*The douche bag across the hall... Not sure if I've mentioned him before.

HI!

Just a quick update to let my 5 readers know that yes, I am knitting. I have a rug almost finished, some hats on needles, a ballband guest towel for my Mom and some mittens brewing in my head. It's winter so I want wintery things!

I need to take lots and lots of photos tomorrow of my Holiday Loot. Lots of goodies!!!

I went to the library tonight and destroyed their knitting section by checking out about 2/3rds of the books. Oops. I'm looking for ideas to use up the stash!

WIP rolecall.

Since revamping the blog and my quick production of ballbands, I've noticed a sad trend here in the house of Libertine-ville. A growing stash of WIPs. Yes.

WIPs!

Everywhere...

Hmm... I have socks that I haven't touched since mid-September. A blanket that I generally tend to forget about until I have the urge to knit something red and once I dive into the stash to find red yarn, realise that I harvested all of it for said blanket. (You'd be surprised by the odd color urges that come over me. I've been staring at my basket of cotton for ballbands and willing some purple and blue to show up and maybe some light green... and maybe yellow. But that's a whole different story. Those little things are like crack.)

Back on topic -- there's the scarf that was supposed to be quick and dirty just sort of looks like a Muppet on crack. Another scarf, my second Irish Hiking scarf... that I haven't touched since I moved. The Log Cabin blanket for Mom has been moved back to Mother's Day. A flight means limited space and a huge heavy blanket just won't make it into my bag. A rug for my cold, cold floors. And finally the Twiggy Bobble hat. I knit several inches of this on Thanksgiving and then realised I had made the bobbles wrong. Oops.

So that's it for now. Yikes. I'm sure there are some other ones hiding away in a box somewhere but we'll ignore those.
