Not a total slacker.






Just to prove that I don't sit around doing NOTHING all the time. I mean, I'm not exactly out living the high life, but I do stuff:



scarves I made for some friends over the holidays
no pattern, just seed stitch



stockings for some friends who got married this year (a late wedding gift)
Pattern: Diamonds in the Rough Argyle Stocking from Christmas Stockings: 18 Treasures to Knit



a sweater for my mother, which taught me that I'm never knitting a reverse-stockinette sweater with lots of seams in dark purple again.  EVER.
Pattern: Holly Jacket from Interweave Knits Spring 2008



a sweater for Grace.  It'll be a miracle if she wears it, it's kind of hairy.
pattern: Gathered Pullover from Interweave Knits Winter 2007



a chemo cap made for the friend of a friend.  The only requirement was that it include his nickname.  I did not make that up.
Pattern: I pretty much made it up as I went along, with reference to Kim's Hats from Last Minute Knitted Gifts


I also went to New Mexico this month, to visit Grace.  I took lots of pictures of mountains:






on the way to Bandelier (near Los Alamos)




I think this is at Bandelier



Passing the other tram on the way down Sandia Mountain


And that's that! See you in February! (maybe)

Yo

You'll note the change in blog address. I suddenly decided that it was not the best idea ever to have my full name in the title of the blog. Call me crazy. :)
