I studiously ignored the sockyarn blanket for weeks (WEEKS!) while working away on gifts.  But now Christmas has past, and I can only spend so much time chained to the sewing machine making sock bags. 

Speaking of sock bags, I’m almost done with a big batch of sock bags.  I’ll try to post photos, but there is no sun at my house when I’m here these days, and I feel silly carrying my knitting and sewing to work to photograph them in the city.  But that may be my only option.

Where was I . . .  returning to personal knitting means I just finished round one of the blanket edging.  13,400 edge stitches done, only 13,400 knit stitches and a few scant hundred stitches with a darning needle between me and a finished blanket.  Ahhhhhh.  So close!

Also, I cast the second of the kilt hose back onto the needles and all seems to be going as planned.  Fingers crossed.

And, perhaps coolest of all,  I just signed a contract for Etaine, Anubh and I to perform again at the Pennsylvania Celtic Fling the last weekend of June 2008.  Woot!  We have twice as many sets as last year.  Which may freak me out just a little bit, because we can’t really double the amount of material we perform between now and June.  I’m going to go hide under my nearly-finished blanket now–excuse me.
