Socks for my cousin

and mittens for me

Getting my winter knitting in gear with these projects, as well as my brainpower. Since these socks and these mittens, I haven't improvised a design in a loooooong time :P

FO: Delusional Shoes

Shoes made by a factory most likely in China, art made by me

Mo gave these to me forever ago, but I managed to finish them in time for her birthday this weekend (surprise!). Now that the cat is out of the bag, it's safe to post pictures of these up here :)

She absolutely insisted on a dinosaur somewhere in the design, so…

All in all, they took forever, but the recipient loves them. Mission accomplished

Meh

That One Teen Romance Book My Cousin Recommended:
is getting pushed to the very, very back of the queue

Yes, most of these are kids books. I'm judging you too.
The problem with books is that they require a lot more time allowance than say, homework or checking email.
Thanksgiving break, meet paper cuts and decreasing vision!

Post Indian summer

Thank heavens for the good soul who invented the leaf-blower.





I harbor a healthy distaste for fall weather…but the skies sure are pretty these days.
