Back in the saddle again!

It's been a busy Christmas break.  I finished a pink ballet wrap cardigan for my daughter, a pair of red/black striped socks, a tea cozy (that I frogged because it was too big), half a pair of socks for my husband's friend's wife and designed a Lake Forest College baby sweater for one of the upcoming baby gifts I want to give.

Today would be a perfect day to knit, what with the snow steadily falling, but alas, I have too much to do.  First I have to work for most of the day.  Then I'm getting a haircut after work.  Then dinner.  THEN knitting, if I'm not too tired.

I'm working on a pair of red gloves I started this morning.  Just plain, simple red gloves.  However, I lost the pattern so I'm kind of winging it.  I plan to try them on as I go, which means they should fit when I'm done. Hah!  Best laid plans and all that.

I plan on using the leftover red yarn to make the LFC baby sweater.  It's got red accents on a black sweater.  I'm hoping to have enough for a bear paw on the back of the sweater.  Wish me luck!

Happy knitting!
