This is what I have been doing . . .

Other then living in the land of the hat - this is what I have been doing! These knucks are a little bit of a cheater, because I finished them a while ago. My hubby really wanted skulls on his hands, so while flying to VA last week - I gave him the skulls! He wears these all the time. I am already thinking about what to do for his next pair -- after christmas . . .

This blanket is for my MIL - it is the one that my husband rolled all the yarn for back in that old post last sept. - she chose the colors (not my favorite, but she is a big Packers fan). It was really fun and pretty fast to knit. It turned out a little larger then I thought, about 54"x78". The best parts about it are that it is super soft
(thank you, Blue Sky Alpaca), super warm and has a great weight to it! I will be sad to not have it to knit under. Although, I am thinking of making one for Mubs next spring . . .

Back to the land of hats (and knucks) . . . more soon!

great knucks. The skulls are super cool. I think the blanket is pretty too. One of these days I need to find patience to actually knit a large blanket. I used to crochet afghans, before learning to knit. But that was years ago...

Great knucks (I like the skull that is winking). That blanket must be taking forever to make--I've never knit a blanket. Crocheted them and that was slow enough!
