Happy Holidays! Long time no blog!

I've wrapped up a couple things and begun another project.
*Sounds like a good way to end 2005, wouldn't you agree?

Ribbed Keyhole Scarf
Yarn: Classic Elite Beatrice - 100% Merino
Needle: US10.5

I knit like 22 inches in a stressful meeting this week...more than 4 people commented how amazed they were to see it grow from 2 inches to 22!
It must be knitters magic...if they only knew our math!
US10.5+Bulky Yarn=20 inches in 60 minutes

Here is my beginning...of CLAPOTEE!

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs.

I never said I had musical taste...but I dig it!
Leave me some suggestions in the comments! I'll check them out!

So I've got to finish up my holiday knitting which equals one more toe-up-sock which fits Pixie like a glove...so that will be a stocking stuffer for her.

I have to knit 2 cabled scarves, a pair of tube socks and 1 pair of fingerless gloves...and all recipients will be be getting them sometime after Jan. 16...

Have a wonderful holiday...I'm working right up to the 22nd...so I'll catch ya'll in 2006...
