No pictures, but definitely finished objects!

I was so pleased with my holiday knitting success! The only thing that didn't fit was my brother's hat, but I'll just whip him up another one soon enough. So yay! I started my Seraphim Shawl the Thursday before Christmas (the 20th) and finished it the Saturday after Christmas (the 29th). However, I didn't do the last two rows of the edging chart because I was running out of yarn. In fact, I had to pull out plain black Louet pearl for the cast-off because I completely ran out! Eek! I haven't blocked nor taken a picture of it yet, but I've definitely been snuggling in it - it's not perfect, but it's exactly what I wanted! I'm completely thrilled with it.

After I get my income tax return, I'm planning on buying more STR Ravenclan yarn (laci) to make Irtfa'a. This is gorgeous, as well!

In addition, I finished a pair of trekking socks and started another. Again, no pics... but maybe this weekend I'll snap a few.

In New Hampshire, I bought another spindle, a niddy noddy, and some more roving. It's my attempt to inspire myself to learn to spin... I make no promises, but we shall see.

This is chopppy. Sorry!!
