Rough Weather

It's hard to believe I haven't blogged in almost a month, but it has been a busy one. The high school musical was Sweeney Todd, and we has the pleasure of watching Devi play the long-lost, crazy wife, and got to see Tara do scenery and such in the background. Finn's instrumental ensemble concert and choir concert was a few days later, as was Tara's band concert. All the morris teams danced at Solebration (including the longsword team), and there were also a couple of paying gigs for the border team. Lots of practices. Oh, and the actual holidays and attending rituals and get-togethers, plus a couple of birthdays too. Wonderfully fun, but some thing fell by the wayside.

I finished my December socks on the 20th, in plenty of time to give them to Tara for Christmas. There was much rejoicing. ;) To my immense satisfaction, she proceeded to wear them around the house for the next 3 days. Her colors, her size, great pattern.









I also got a couple of good shots of Finn goofing around in his Ogre Slippers.
I finished my February Lady this month, too. I knitted the cuffs three times, finally deciding the sleeves needed to be full-length and decreased towards the end so the garter stitch cuffs don't flare out. I wear it almost every day.

Some Summer Knitting

Sometime in July, I decided that fall would come sooner if I started knitting sweaters. I wound up casting on 3 in 2 weeks. To be fair, one of them is a baby sweater, EZ's February Baby. And one of them is a vest, the Eco Vest from Knitting Green. The third one is February Lady. So far, the baby sweater is done, the main section of the Eco Vest vest is done, and I'm down to the armholes for February Lady. Is it any cooler out yet?
