In which I swear I'm going to be a good blogger and start using photos!

Well, my plan to get a lot of knitting done in Israel was a bust. Not only did I lose my Felici socks, I got sick on New Year's day and ended up having to come home. And then I caught a cold on Wednesday. Not exactly the break I'd been looking for. December's Felici socks are gone. So are my Eleanoras. I realized yesterday that I'd done one of the motifs twice and instead of ripping back and going on I just frogged the whole thing. I'll make them some other time, they're beautiful, but too much for me in my current sneezy, dizzy state.

I am making progress on other fronts though. I picked up the Hemlock afghan last night and made a bit of progress. I think I'm nearing the end of the motif, and I'll be starting the feather and fan soon. At that point it'll make good TV knitting, if I ever start watching TV again.

The Adamas shawl has been progressing nicely, but is currently on hold pending the arrival of my KnitPicks Options. My Addis were driving me nuts because the yarn just would not slide on them. I can't wait to work on it more though, it's just so pretty and I adore the yarn.



I've finished one of my Hedera socks and I love the way it's turning out. I always though Hedera looked boring, but in person it's just lovely. The colors are gorgeous too.



I also just cast-on another pair of Baudelaire in Burgandy Gloss. This is the skein I ordered to make the Red Herring socks with, but I decided that the Cocoa looked better with Woodland Sage. The other skein of Burgandy is one its way (along with another skein of Woodland Sage and Felici and size 1 DPNs to replace the ones I lost in Israel).
