What else could a knitter ask for than almost 3 days of being snowed in? Technically I could walk to the local bar, and maybe I did but I was without a car for a good 2 and a half days. There was a whole lot of knitting going.

I have almost finished the back of Starsky, so so close, once the back is done the rest is all just the finishing knitting. I am excited to get this one pretty close to wrapped up.

I have also started and completed a CandleFlame scarf for myself, I was packing away some yarn and found this Rio de la Plata that I really liked, decided to start a scarf then and there. I just need to kitchener the 2 sides together and it is done!!!Not the best picture but you get the idea right?

And last on the list I started a Vintage Velvet for me at last!!! I knit on this during the holiday festivities at my parent's house. This picture really sucks, bad lighting, plus shiny yarn and a flash just don't mix well. But at least you can see the color from this picture.

I do have a couple of FO's to report as well. I will save that for another post.

Why I worry that I have not posted in forever is beyond me, since I am not sure all that many read, or even know this little blog exists. Anyway...

Now that I am done traveling, and done with all of the currently planned Christmas knitting I think I have a little time. I did think today, oh wouldn't it be nice to knit up a wine cozy to go with the wine that I need to take to Teds mother's house. Oh and wouldn't it be fun to wrap scarves for my sister, mother and sister-in-law around their stockings. Not sure any of that will happen. But it was a thought.

I do have pictures, if nothing else... I finished 4 ponchos for my niece's, 2 need fringe, unless I decide the curl method looks cute, and i just might. I also knitted up a white elephant gift for the work Holiday luncheon, that my co-worker received, boy what company pride we have here. Twisty Turns , from Wrap Style as well, I need about 5 more inches and it will be ready to be contrapted. This is a close up of the ribs, it is really long at this point.

I have been working on the

I have finished all but the zipper on my hoody from the Vogue, it is quite cute until I put it on, I am not sure the shoulders drape quite right where I attached them to the body. Live and learn I guess.

Look at all these pictures. It is crazy in here. I have a picture of me in my Klara as well, crappy picture and well I am not sure I think this sweater looks great on me but here it is. Don't I look thrilled.

I tend to only blog at work, at home I am taking away from precious knitting time. Or something like that. But since I am gearing up for a week off work, I should probably post before I go, huh? Not a whole lot of knitting has gone on as of late. I wish I could say there was more. I am plugging along on Starsky, it is slow going with the cable pattern on the right and wrong side, I have been completing about one repeat a week. Not a whole lot of progress let me tell ya, motivation to finish things has been somewhat low. Not real sure why, I am not casting on for new things. I blocked the Noro cowl again to see if the cowl would sit better since I have knitted the cowl over twice as long as it says too, I still don't think it sits right, and one sleeve is all wonky!! so more cowl and possibly a re-knit of a sleeve. No picture of that of course.

There is also the annual white elephant gift at work, last year I did a knitted tie, this year I went with a ear warmer thing, with a bad application of our logo. It didn't turn out horrible but well I like the tie better. Next year I should get to this earlier and not have to rush, then again who wants to spend a ton of knitting time away from other knitting on something that will sit in someone's cube. Fun and all but doesn't need to be elaborate or anything!

I have been working on a second Vintage Velvet as well, for Miss Tiffany of Colorful Yarns. It was a great deal we did, well not sure how is making out better I think it is me. But her Vintage Velvet is coming along, I hope to have this done sooner rather than later!!!

I have also been working on my Lion and Lamb Clapotis, in the Black Pearl color, I love it, it is soft, an easy knit and I have started the decreases. Sadly I have no pictures of this beauty. I have been busy with many things Christmas not really one of them though. I am in the process of finding a new home for me and my yarn, this is not the easiest task. It seems like it should be much easier. But my Yarn and myself seem to be quite picky we both want ample room for our things, and room to grow as well. Hopefully soon I will know where I will be moving come January!!!

I have been knitting I promise, just not as much as usual. Somewhat a busy schedule and some just kinda ehhh. A mini knitting funk. Maybe I have so much I want to do and so little time it is a bit overwhelming so I just say fu$%#@ it. We'll see if this coming weekend can prove to be more productive.

No Starsky pictures, it really has not grown much at all. I have finished a little something for Colorful it was a super fun fast knit. And ohhh so pretty!! Of course now that it is on display I worry about it, if it looks as good as it can, did I mess up, could it be softer and so on.

I have started another one for Tiffany, in a toast color, not pictures of that either. The Clapotis using the Black Purl color of Lion and Lamb is coming along, almost done with the straight rows.

Here is my current dilemma, last year for the work white elephant Holiday exchange I made a tacky knitted tie, with our company colors. I want to do something this year as well, it needs to be quick and simple. I am sort of thinking, ear warmer thing, you know the band that goes around your head. I will use chunkier yarn this year too for a quick easy knit, any other ideas? Most of the folks in my group are men so..... It was the ear thing or a hat, not sure which would be preferred.
