Christmas knitting

Yeah, I'm not posting pictures, I've had daily headaches for a good week now, and between that and catching the norovirus it's been a week.

Anyway, the total knitting accomplished for Christmas was 3 clapotis (clapoti?), an earflap hat, 2 pairs of armwarmers, a scarf, and a hat. Not bad for a beginner knitter! If you're on Ravelry, I've posted pictures of all of them there.

I was about going out of my mind with nothing on the needles, so I cast on a scarf for me. It's somewhat lacy, so I'm getting a feel for lace knitting without making something HUGE.

I also got a new toy tool - a Daylight lamp (that's a brand, not a type). I realized when I was trying to fix a problem with the very dark armwarmers that there just wasn't enough light of the right type for crafting.

Either that or I'm just getting old...
