I'm a happy camper :)
I had a plethora of knitting goodies for Christmas.
I got some sock blockers (something I'd been hankering after for a while), a set of crochet hooks (with some especially teeny ones for beading), a small set of interchangeable needles (I'm hoping to do some moebius knitting soon), a needle roll, some knitting software (Intwined pattern studios ftw) and a subscription to Designer Knitting.
Epic!!!
Admittedly, I had asked for most of it - I gave a list of things to my stepmum, saying "anything from this list" and she got me all of it! Bless, I wasn't expecting that!!
So I am currently using the software to come up with a chart for my Flossies, because I know that written instructions aren't for everyone I have the main chart done, I just have to do one for the thumb section for each hand. It's surprisingly easy software to use. I can save the charts as images, or save the whole document as a pdf, which will be useful for ravelry :)

Seekrit Santa
So last night was our Stitch and Bitch Christmas party, hosted by Kate - who was the hostess with the mostest.
Nibbles were eaten, mulled wine was drank (not too much for me as I was driving and working this morning). We are all rather fond of cooking and are all talented in our own ways of cooking; there was some fantastic brownies, cakes and key lime pie. As I have been crazily busy at work, I had to chicken out and bring nuts and crisps.
We swapped our secret santa gifts. We departed from the norm this year and all made a gift which we would then allocate at the party. I finished mine a few weeks ago and managed to photograph my gifts before I wrapped them up.
Apologies for the quality of my images, I misplaced my tripod (which has since been found!).
The scarf Smariek's Triumph Cable Scarf
As an added bonus, I made some Russian Doll stitch markers :)
I must say; the gifts that everyone picked really suited them :) The scarf looks awesome on James!
I will have to photograph the needle roll that I got, because it's awesome :)
