Note to self: Next year, START EARLIER.
I went to my grandparents' house on Saturday, which allowed me to distribute a few more gifts. My grandmother liked the purple beret I made her, however it was too small. Luckily, my Aunt Aileen came to visit with us and she went home with it. I'm going to start a different one for my Grandmother - one a little more floppy.
Some pictures:
My aunt brought me a couple cases of seaweed! I've never eaten it plain before, but it's delicious!
This is me trying to find a flattering angle that will make these ridiculous socks look a little more "fun-ridiculous" and a little less "I'm going to puke-ridiculous".
I tried to design a hat for my cousin Marie with evergreen trees on it - looking back, it probably would have been a lot better to knit it on straight needles and seamed so the yarn wouldn't put stretches in weir places.
She didn't seem to mind. Actually she walked in wearing a hat I made for her when I was 12! I wish I'd gotten a picture - it was some (actually really cool) variegated acrylic worsted weight.
I managed to bang out a skull cap for my uncle while visiting with them for the day - just 2x2 rib with a squared decrease on the top.
My aunt Eileen loved her beret - I'm thrilled with how great it looks on her!
These are some cookies I've been making recently using a really simple recipe (AKA the first google result you get when you google "vegan peanut butter cookies"). They're quite unhealthy. Especially when I add extra oil and sugar to them so they can keep their shape a little better.
Oh, yeah! My mom got me these labels as a Christmas gift (genius!). She ordered them around Thanksgiving hoping I could sew them into things I was planning on gifting. They arrived in the mail on December 26th. Go figure. Regardless, I love them and can't wait to use them!
I should get back to this term paper now... I'm running out of ways to procrastinate.
