Total Insanity.............
I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas. I received a fabulous gift this year, the first pair of socks my best friend ever knitted. They are really comfy, she made them extra long for me :-), and I am just excited about having them. 
She also sent me some yarn that I am knitting into a blanket. I am not sure how I feel about it just yet though. So it is going to sit in the knitting bag while I have a think about it.
I am knitting it from the center out.
I finished knitting Quant from the latest edition of Knitty.com. I am not very happy with the way the one end turned out. I like symmetry in my headbands.
I also bought myself some yarn to make myself some more headbands. I don't like wearing hats, but need to keep my ears warm. So I have found that nice, wide headbands work for me.
The red yarn is for another panta and the purple yarn is for a calorimetry.
(Don't ask me to put links in today) I have some more yarn that I am saving for someone special.

The worlds slowest blogger
Life has been slow for me lately due to a number of reasons, which I am not going to go into right now. But I have a finished sweater, finally. I am also working on a baby set for my friend Miyuki, but that is slow going as well. It has been awhile since there has been any cuteness on this blog, so I will start with the pictures of Miyuki's babies.
There is also the black cardigan that I started knitting this summer. I finally finished it and even have the buttons sewn on. And in a surprising twist, there is nothing purple on this sweater. But it is comfortable and warm and has gotten plenty of wear already. And I got myself a pattern for felted hedgehogs. I figure since I am England, what better excuse do I need?
