The Snake River socks are progressing up the ankles. No, I have no pictures. Yes, it’s still raining. No, there is no light. It might stop raining briefly this weekend, at which time I will madly snap all kinds of pictures of anything I have knit lately.
Yes, I would like some cheese with that whine.
I just found out that I need to provide a $10 – $15 gift for a gift exchange. I’m thinking that knitting a quick hat (need to have it by Monday) would be much preferable to venturing out into the malls and shopping centers of America amidst crazed shoppers looking for that perfect bargain with only 10 shopping days left before the immovable Christmas deadline. If I use something stripy like Noro it will look a lot harder and more expensive than it was. What do you think, gentle reader? Can this knitter, to whom deadlines have not been kind lately, actually produce something on time?
Since I still have no real knitting content here, I will offer this picture of my lovely and wonderful niece Z at her school’s Christmas program. (She attends a private school so they can still call it a “Christmas Program.”) The kids were all super cute and the program was fun. I’ve sort of missed this kind of thing a bit since #1 Son has grown up and stopped doing school programs.
Lovely Z is in the middle row, 3rd from the left. Bro and Sis-In-Law are rightfully proud of their little girl! (And so am I!)

Go for the hat! Get out a couple of DVDs, sit yourself down, and crank that sucker out. If you use Noro it’ll look really impressive without being much work at all.
No comment on the rain. My boys kept telling me it was night time this morning, since it was so dark. Unfortuntately, no. Sigh.

Yep, I vote for the hat. It beats Any shopping this time of year, especially in the rain. And will be appreciated by anyone who gets it.

I vote for the hat too! Noro would be PERFECT since it makes anything you knit look much harder than it is.
For the first year (in the last 4), I’m glad I’m not living in Seattle. My mom is visiting family there right now & not only has she grown webbed feet, but they’ve been without power in their area all day. Thankfully they have a fireplace & a generator that runs the lights & the tv. Now if they only knew how to knit, then it would be a perfect day!
