On the plus side, I have been knitting. Since I last posted, I completed the Palindrome hat, which I wanted to do for 2 reasons: 1) my "Loosely Knit" group is doing hats in February and 2) it's cold and I wanted to make a hat for myself finally.
And the view from the top:
Close up of the cables:
Let me see, before the hat, I finished my first knitted pair of socks (ta da!), the "Simple Socks" by Cat Bordhi, using her two circular needle technique (much nicer to me than using double pointed needles). I don't remember the yarn brand but I bought it at one of my local yarn shops (Fashion Knit).
And, after the socks were done, I used the leftover yarn to make a Weasley sweater cell phone case for my (never working) MotoKRZR phone.
I'm also working on a much nicer pair of socks (I mean I'm doing better than I did on my first ever pair) for the Hogwarts Sock Swap 3, as well as a bag for the Bag-a-Licious swap but I can't post pictures until they're delivered.
So, all in all, a few good weeks for knitting, although not so good otherwise.
