Hello everyone- We've got some good news- we exchanged contracts and are finally moving house next week. The best thing is that I've been very busy knitting in the meantime. Angst is great for keeping hands busy, if disappointing for weight loss. Making the most of it this week, as I'm sure I'll be too busy when we move in. After a summer of not getting much done, I've had a winter of scarves and general knitting frenzy. Here's a few of my favourite bits: so glad I've got over the guilt of scarves being too "easy", I'm really enjoying making them. We had a week in Boulogne before Christmas (what a huge coincidence, we stayed very near to the Phildar shop) so I was able to see how rusty my French has got since June.
My husband was thrilled to get this Bruce Lee tank top for his birthday, as can clearly be seen in his smile.
What Bruce Lee themed birthday would be complete without a little Brucie (from "Knitted Icons")
the sideways socks I was so keen to knit- unfortunately, I didn't think about the lack of much-needed stretch- they are now in progress as "normal" knitted socks, as an experiment on the knitting machine.
my sister-in-law gave me "Mason Dixon Knitting" for Christmas and don't worry, there is no "special" reason for me knitting baby clothes, other than they're cute and quick.
the zigzag scarf is from Iris Schreier's Modular Knitting, the blue one in Phildar and the other one was bought from a lovely lady in St Omer, who had seen a programme about mince pies .
not quite knitted (not yet, but that's a spinning wheel behind them) our bunnies, otherwise known as the world's smallest farm enjoy their Xmas present from France.

Sorry to be so slow in commenting, Sara. I was in the hospital! For a month! I had a bad skin flare-up which is now completely gone and I feel wonderful.
Loved your pix. How are the bunnies?
