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)
