I’m sorry it took a few extra days to get this up, Kittens.  I had wanted to get this up before the Giftmas holiday and that just didn’t work out with our schedule here.  We decided to travel back home and that was more involved than we thought it would be…and we’ve been seriously busy since we arrived here.  That’s not a bad thing. 😉

Onto the show notes!

♥ Despite leaving a day later, we did not, infact, avoid the snow.  We just hit it on the first leg of the trip instead of the second half.

Ah, there’s that lovely Vimeo video preview again…I look so angry.  I was in a bit of a rush this week and started talking pretty fast.  “Fun” fact: one of my grandparents nicknamed me, “Motor Mouth,” as a child.  She added to the sting by making me an awful acrylic sweater with a bunny talking on the phone…and the words, “yakkity yak,” embroidered all over it.  I never got over that one and started to withdraw more out of fear that I’d be made fun of for talking.

If I’m really excited about something, I can talk forever and at hyper speeds.

Onto the show notes!

FOs:
♥ Pinkie Pie Socks – “Ribbed Socks for Kids” by Susan B. Anderson.
– US size 2 needles.  Knit Pick’s Felici in “Positively Pink.”
– Made these as knee highs for my daughter with a 7.25″ leg.  Managed to make a pair out of a 50g skein with a couple yards leftover.  I often have just under half a skein of yarn from my own socks…I may have a future use for those partials.

♥ Crafty Neck Thingie – “Malabrigo Neck Thingie” by Anne Sahakian.
-US size 8 needles.  Used Another Crafty Girl Merino Worsted in “Robo Boogie.”
-Pattern is a bit short as written, IMHO.  I had enough yardage left over that it could have easily been made an inch or two taller.  Also, not sold on the purl/knit alternating welts.

WIPs:
♥ 20 Penguin Puffs – My own pattern/improvised.

♥ Gnomies Can Never Be Broken – I am so close to having these done!  It was a shame I couldn’t find the final 2 hours I needed so I could show them off this week.

♥ It’s On Like Donkey Kong! – “Ribbed Socks for Kids” in Hiwassee Creek Dyeworks Sassafras Sock: “Donkey Kong” colorway.

Stash Flash:
♥  Hoo boy.  A lot this week after a month of almost nothing.  But the coat yarn is here!!  Yay!!
