I DID promise, after all.
I've been updating my Ravelry account with all the Christmas knits that I have photos for -- some got finished last minute and given away before I could snap pics, so I'll have to see if Mom and Dad will indulge me and take some pictures and e-mail them. There are a couple more things that aren't up yet, either -- I want to re-block the Russian Coat before I photograph it and call it done, and I need some better photos of the Embossed Leaves Socks.
Still, I've been very crafty as of late, and it's nice to finally have something to show for it. It seems like I always get to that place where I'm ALMOST finished, and then I stop working and put it aside and nothing comes of it for months and months. One of this year's resolutions is to clear the project decks before I get too deep into any new stuff. It's a great way to keep myself from buying too much new yarn, since I've got something like three sweaters' worth stashed away, and no frivolous money for a while.
There are also quilt pictures. So, without further ado:
The quilt, in all of its glory.
The hat I knit for my SIL.
Some quick little scarves.
And a detail of the crown of the cap I knit for my Dad.
