Hello Friends and Happy New Year!
I've made it back to blog-land (once again) with some knitting and spinning news.
Spinning continues...
and continues...
and continues...
I even tried dyeing some of my own fiber!
And then knit these...
And out of Ella Rae Classic knit this...
And y'all thought I was slacking off, didn't you!
Those single mittens will have their mates soon.
Knitting the second mitten isn't nearly as bad (for me) as knitting a second sock. And it's lots of fun saying that
this...
was knit from this...
which was spun from this...
which was dyed by me! My family fears I'll be raising sheep soon but I think not :-)
More knitting pics can be found here (Ravelry link).
And finally, for Glamaw, some Christmas pics...
Pawpaw got a simple 3 X 3 rib scarf knit from some oh-so-soft Misti Alpaca Chunky...
Cheerleader Daughter got a new tennis racket...
and gear for college...
Football Star Son got a new TV...
and I got a hair cut.
Little Brother Football Star got Guitar Hero III...
that everybody else played with except him...
And where was Little Brother Football Star while everybody else played?
Under the desk keeping everything working properly for everybody else. Now THAT is the true spirit of giving!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
Thanks for the great pictures. Love the new haircut.

The new hair cut is great!
The "new" hobby looks fab! The dye jobs look great and I'm sure that the finished products will be as yummy! GO JACKS! One can NEVER have too much SFA gear, ever!
Thanks for sharing your family with us!

LOVE your new hair-do, makes you look at least 15 years younger (not that you looked older in the first place)...it's really, really fab. Keep it that way!

Oh my god your haircut is so cool. Seriously, it's great :)
So is the dyed fiber--how satisfying to dye your own fiber! And those socks, and the mittens--very impressive. Oh, very happy-looking family too :)
