Broken Camera

So...about a week ago, my camera said the batteries were dying, and then shut off. I've since changed the batteries ~3 times, and have yet to get the camera back on. Until I figure out the problem, I'll have no new pictures of my knitting :(

I have been working on some toe-up socks in Socks that Rock Heavyweight in "Pirates Booty"-- haven't quite decided on the right pattern for these, but they should be a quick knit -- I'm looking forward to wearing them!

I'm also participating in two swaps right now through Ravelry - the Favorite Things swap (where you send three of your favorite things to someone else) and the Valentine's Day swap hosted by the Caffeine Addicts (chocolate and coffee - yum!) Hopefully my camera is fixed/replaced before the packages get here!!

Knitting makes holiday travel tolerable.

Travelling this holiday season was a bit trying -- between planes being delayed (is a delay because you don't have the part to fix a plane struck by lightening called weather-related or not...?) and sheer airline incompetency, I had some time to knit. In the end we arrived safely, our luggage arrived a few days later (intact) and it was a good visit.

Remember the Noro scarf I showed in the last post, though? Well, I didn't work on it at all until we were at the airport. Knit half of the thing ON one of the flights, and now I have a very warm, fuzzy scarf :)

I also managed to squeeze in two dishcloths before the year ended -- these got sent off as part of a Christmas gift.

The other thing I finished lately were the pedicure socks for my mom -- but I didn't get pictures taken before they got shipped out in the mail.
