Bad blogger, no cookie

I've been terribly busy lately, and in consequence I've neglected not only this blog but the knitting blogosphere in general. With the holidays coming up, however, I should have more time to blog. And I've been knitting! Lots of things! Really I have!

Actually, I've been knitting a lot but I haven't felt that I've gotten much done, which is such a frustrating feeling. So a good part of my holiday relaxing is going to be devoted to finishing up various WIPs and planning knitting to come. Meanwhile, I give you this picture of a kitty:


He loves yarn too!

Back in the Saddle

At long last, I am home again. Everything seems to be as before, and it's frickin' freezing outside . . . hooray?

Travelling Roses is done and awaits blocking--I'll probably do that this afternoon. (If I don't freeze to death, brrrrr.)

Work on the second toe-up sock continues, as does work on the North Star mittens. In this weather, mittens are top priority. I'm about half-done with the first, but they're quick to knit up.

In the meantime, I leave you with . . . kitteh pictures!

Mickey, too, has a yarn habit:


I can quit anytime I want to, I swear:
