This is what has kept me from posting lately:

I think a sleigh wrecked.

Plus we both now have the flu we got from the one standing up. *sigh*

Here’s some of the Christmas knitting, in various stages. Click for bigger pictures.

Mike’s Mom’s Coronet, knit with Mission Falls 1824 Wool:

Becky’s Branching Out, with two views I’ll share. This was knit with KnitPick’s Andean Silk. Very yummy! Unblocked:

Note: I went back a bit after taking this picture and blocked it more severely. The lace stands out even more now. Blocking is magic with lace!

And Tammy’s Airy Scarf (from Last Minute Knitted Gifts), knit with Rowan KidSilk Haze.:

As for the rest of the gifts, you’ll have to use your imagination. Mike’s Grandmother got a pale pink version of the Airy Scarf. Mike’s sister Wendy got the blue Madison Scarf I showed in an earlier post. And her husband Marshall and Mike’s father got the green and grey socks, respectively. Okay, Marshall got socks. I’m still trying to find the mate for the grey one…

I must say I’m glad my father is a patient, understanding man. After all - he raised three daughters. *grin*
