I've had quite a busy Christmas and new year (for someone who hates Christmas and Christmas food I somehow managed to have two full Christmas dinners in one day. Not quite as bad as the Vicar of Dibley episode where Dawn French does it on a bigger scale, but not far off), I got plenty of knitting done when I wasn't doing random festive things. Unfortunately though my angels rest socks had to be pulled back again as it was just too much of a struggle to get over my ankle comfortably. Then the ball winder decided to eat the yarn as I rewound it so the whole project's taken on a dingy, dirty sort of luck - hence the lack of new pictures. I also started another pair of broad street mittens on Christmas eve in the Colinette Jitterbug I bought months and months ago. I'm about halfway through the thumb gusset increase on the second mitten and it looks so good I can't wait to wear them. Pictures to follow when there's something more to show, provided blogger lets me. For some reason, every time I try to write broad street mittens blogger freezes up and crashes, this is possibly the fourth or fifth time I've tried to post this entry. In other knitting related news I've been at the book buying again, this time the AntiCraft book which has so many rather cool knitting patterns in, and even more for other crafty persuits too. I also managed to get my hands on the little box of socks and currently have a pile of the pattern cards that lsb and I picked out (so much for taking a break from socks).
