Office work

Is there a market out there for disgruntled office worker greeting cards?

On a cheerier note, a pretty red bag.

Holiday niceties

Holiday gift making, now with successful zipper installation. Maybe she'll make it to her destination on time, even....

Question of the day: why is it that every year I buy Christmas cards and every year I end up waiting until it's really too late to send them?

All done

Even though my lunchtime knitting was interrupted yesterday by an office holiday lunch festivity, I managed to finish these without staying up past my bedtime. This success will only serve to reinforce my embarrassing procrastination habits.

A heel is born

I love turning the heel. Makes me feel so clever.

I think I may actually get this guy done in a timely fashion.

I don't learn

New England socks from Nancy Bush's Knitting on the Road.

Procrastination always seems like such a good idea at the time. And then you find yourself three days away from a sock swap deadline with 3/4 of a sock on teeny tiny needles left to go, wondering why you HAD to pick this particular pattern with the teeny tiny needles and the chart that you can't seem to memorize (even though this is the second time you've knit these socks). Sigh.

Ballerina bunny bag

A dance tote for my friend Roni's daughter, Maddy.

As it is for a child, I decided to include a smile on this one, rather than making it one of my usual grumpy/disturbed/chain smoking creatures.

I am fond of the slippers....

Friday at last. Joy...
