Finished Jesse's scarf today! It looks good, but the picture's not so hot.

Dave doesn't want a scarf. Boo hoo.

Hey - the mitten class was really cool!

I was so silly - I came in through the door holding up my little minimitten with my chest puffed out, all proud. Like a kindergarten kid with his first fingerpaint! I walked around with it until dinner, waxing eloquent on knitting with double-pointed needles. The boys were nice but ran and hid with their computers. The girls were nice and thought it was really cute - they even shrieked when they saw it. Jesse said I should make a bunch and hang them on the Christmas tree. Now there's an idea!

I've talked Abby into taking a class with me - we're going to make a little felted bag - it's like hat size before felting, and then after felting it will be big enough to hold business cards or chocolate. Chocolate. Sounds like a great idea. And, I think that if the bag class is as easy as the mitten class, then I can make hats!!!!! Cool, huh?

Jesse's scarf is chugging along. I've managed to skeakily find out what colors Abby likes best - lime green, orange and cobalt blue. And, aren't I lucky? Crystal Palace makes just those colors! Except they call their colors Pumpkin, Lime and French Blue. I've picked Kyle out the manly colors of Forest and Marine!

I've managed to talk my friend Kate into taking a class with me over at the knit shop - it's on mittens. We're going to make a mini mitten and *shriek* use double pointed needles. I'm a little nervous . . .
