It was quite a week-
Measuring and mixing.
Beating and blending.
Scraping and rolling.
Baking, cooling, frosting.
Packing and Shipping.
But I made it. All 13 batches of it.
Then I sent it off to friends and family. (ok, not ALL of it. I kept a little for local munching)
And I’m afraid I didn’t take any pictures of the process. I was just glad to get it all done in time.
Of course, I made sure to take wool breaks to ensure I retained my sanity in the midst of all this cookie craziness.
Exhibit A- Oscar Socks
I started these socks months ago, when the recipients feet were only as long as the white part! Yeeks!
Exhibit B- Custom Photo Glove/Mitts
These are a not-so-secret Christmas present for The Man. Still need thumbs and index fingers (with openings for finger tips), but I’m getting close!
And the spinning-
Mioget Shetland with blonde mohair and gold tussah silk, Border Leicester, and some CVM/Suffolk cross.
Yum. High fiber goodies. Healthiest things I made all week!
Now perhaps I can just relax and enjoy the holidays 🙂
Congratulations!
Thanks Donna- it was a pretty productive week- and now we get to enjoy the leftovers!
Love the socks!
Me too. You can never have enough handknit socks. I especially like them in the natural white/gray combo. they look so homey.
The spinning looks fantastic, the sheen is beautiful! Those socks look incredibly soft and warm.
Thanks Christine- I do love a nice sheen 🙂 And all reports indicate that the socks are indeed soft and warm. The recipient apparently is refusing to take them off!
Hey Tweet,
“Amazing”
Looking forward to the goodies
Loveya
Dad
Thanks Dad- hope the goodies have arrived by now!
What a luxury to have a whole week off before Christmas – ya wanna come wrap my presents for me? 🙂 T.
yep. having the time off earlier in the month works out well for me. always seems like time accelerates between thanksgiving and christmas.
