Quick Update: Christmas

I am a bad blogger. This fact, we have already established. But as finals are literally breathing down my neck (though just one to go!), I don't have time to update. But!!! A quickie on my Christmas goings:

• Tangled Yoke Cardigan for Aunt Renee (Um... still buttonless)
  
• Unnamed Grey Cardigan for Mom (one sleeve done... still)
  
• Endpaper Mitts for Olivia (FINISHED!!!)
  
• Scarf for Dad (yarn purchased... but pattern? Suggestions anyone?)
  
• Socks for sister (progress: none)
  
• Scarf for Uncle Rob (About 2/3's done. I need to finish it by Friday.)
• Pink Mohair Thing for Auntie Laurie (I think I've decided on a pattern.)
  
• TURTLES FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
  

Back to studying!

yarn: 28 gauge silver wire
hook: 1.75 mm (Size 4)

I am so whimsy!

(And in case you were worried about knitting, yes, it is still going. Here! Proof!!)

In a few words...

In short,





(If you can figure those numbers out, I'll give you a cookie!)

There's more, but I only remembered to photograph what was on my desk. I have a midterm, work, then I'm off to Maryland! Likelihood of me blogging is small. Happy Thanksgiving!
