I finished My Sweetheart's sock (this is the mate to the one lost, adjusted with a brown cuff so there's enough of the tweed to knit a THIRD sock - I hope). He likes it enough that he told me to hurry and knit the other one, as his other foot was cold. The third sock toe is OTN as of this weekend...
And then I started my Christmas knitting tonight. If you know what this is, PLEASE do not spoil it - there are several giftees who read my blog. But I just had to say that this Noro Silk Garden swatch on bamboo is downright droolworthy. YUM. And if I think it's good, you should see The Meezer, and you might...sometime soon, but not tonight as The Tonk decided it was time to play and she had to set him straight! They are in separate rooms right now, cooling off. Children! *wink*
I know it's Christmas knitting, but I may have to fall off the yarn diet again and buy more for me...this is gorgeous stuff...now SHHHHHH....! No guessing in the comments!
This will all take awhile. I can knit for about 20 minutes or so and then have to stop because my unused shoulder muscles are SCREAMING. But last week, I started with 1 pound weights at PT. I am getting better by slow increments...(too slow, if you ask me, but then, I'm not a patient sort!)

The Meezer and the Tonk need to remember that they are not the only cats who get into squabbles. They only think they are unique. "Lucifer," who is still in the terrible twos, often takes things too far with "Chessboard," who is nearly ten years her senior. All parties concerned need to be taken down a notch, and then they can have their photos taken for the blog or Facebook. That's my two cents' worth. Anyway, in the knitting department, I need to find someone who will sell me genuine Alafoss Lopi yarn in person.
