Now that I have come back down to earth after Sunday's flight of fancy I have a few photos to share with you.
These
A little Peruvian Chulla and a mistake rib Scarf
and these
Three little fluffy neckties
are winging their way to Anne in Indiana.
I would do more but with the list of Christmas knitting and the postage times to the US I thought it would be a good idea to get these on the way asap
Isn't this the most adorable colourway!
The picture doesn't really do it justice the colours are far more subtle. I was three little 20g skeins of 100% merino that I bought off a lady on Ebay. She dyes it herself and calls this one Sorbet. It reminds me of raspberry ripple icecream, now fingerless gloves for Dancing Daughter. These were the gloves knitted on my new 5" clover bamboos.
First of the Christmas knitting finished!
These are for my dad, they are going to be like christmas stockings stuffed full of goodies. They are the grey Opal Rodeo colourway. Very subtle and manly I thought.
Finally here is the best of a very bad bunch of photos of the first 33 rows of Frost Flowers and Leaves.
I tried with flash and without.
Flash photos you couldn't see the detail, without flash the shutter time was so long it is slightly blurred but hopefully you get the idea.
I'm off now to cast on another pair of socks from the Christmas list while watching the school production of Into the Woods dress rehersal - in between fixing the costumes of course :-)
Love the color of those gloves! And you did them all on the bamboo toothpicks? Wow. I'm not that brave...

Wonderful items to make people warm this year! Thanks for joining us, Janine.
Frost Flowers is such a gorgeous shawl! Can't wait to see it grow.

The gloves look great. I still haven't started any; the weather is not helping me get into a winter frame of mind...
The Frost Flowers will be fantastic. What yarn are you using for it??
