start of christmas knitting and more

Well, time for an update.

So I haven't been keeping up as much with this blog, in part because I have started another blog, for my new pregnancy, yep, woo hoo, I'm pregnant, I think the people who read this blog that I know already know about it so I can finally announce it on here, I am around 9 weeks, so still early but boy have I been tired and sluggish, and all the other fun stuff that goes along with it, though (knock on wood) I haven't experience any morning sickness, but everything else :0)

my other blog is just so my family and friends who are on the other side of the country can join in on my experiences and I can share pictures with them

I haven't done much Christmas knitting yet but I have at least started.
I have decided to make these wristlets for a few people for Christmas presents, I can usually make a pair in a day, so their are not too challenging, I am on my 3rd pair out of lets say maybe six?? The pattern is free and can be found here.

sometimes I usually just knit until it looks good not necessarily following the pattern exactly
here are the few that I have finished so far




the white is in Zara merino wool, red is DB alpaca silk, and the pink DB Cashmerino chunky, its great they only use less than 1 ball, good stash buster with leftovers



Here are more choices I have for the rest of them, all Debbie Bliss, I have a lot of her yarn

I knit the pink ones while trying out my new hand painted knitting needles, I have lots more in the making, but I am super lazy at the moment so their being painted very slowly.




I also have this fun yarn, I had stashed away for a while, not sure what it is, I don't have the ball band anymore, but its really cute, and I want to make something for my 8 year old niece with it, maybe a hat, but I'm not sure it would be enough
