So it's pretty darn early here....my body is still on my work schedule, meaning I'm up about 5:30 every morning....today I'm heading out to exchange a few things...need a different size...the store opens at 6...but I'll go a bit later...
Yesterday I spent the day lounging about and knitting...I made my Vermonter hat...I've been wanting to make this since I saw
JennieKate's version on Ravelry. So I picked up some Malabrigo Rasta and some Plymouth Yarn De Aire (on sale!) and made my version...
which I finished yesterday...
I also finished one of my Have I ever Steered You Wrong? socks...these are so squooshy..made with worsted weight...
and it fits extremely well! I have the second started....
I also made myself a sparkly hat to wear on Monday...not the best picture
and then the gifts..lots of cowls....three crocheted, two knitted....
For the secretary:
it's Premiere yarn with the flowers attached...
For the two vice principals
With some Boucle I had in the stash...
For my besties....Malabrigo Rasta cowls...(I'm in love with this yarn, I've now used it 4 times in the past couple of months)
And the final..the ugly elf hat for the principal for Ugly Sweater Day...see we'd had a conversation and he said he had nothing to wear (in fact he wore a suit)..anyway I said I had an elf hat he could wear...(I do, it's in my classroom)...and then I decided to gift him the hat I had started...it's ugly and sheds like crazy....
Today, I'm hopefully finishing the second sock...and maybe the Shark in the Woods cowl, once I return from the madness of the mall......my goal is to finish up some of my WIPs before the end of the year...

My sock knitting begins tomorrow...starting with lots of quick and easy socks\/slippers...all for meeeee!! Loved seeing your class!
Merry Christmas! Those are some lovely gifts. Maybe I should consider cowls for next year. Good idea.
What great projects. I love the socks in worsted, going to have to make myself some!
I like that Malabrigo Rasta. I don't think I've ever met anything Malbrigo that I didn't like.
You go so much done for Christmas! And you work full time! Amazing Grace! LOL!
I spent the day cleaning and organizing which included trying to gather my projects that I was working on before the Christmas gifting rush! I hope you had good luck at the mall.
