Mer Knits!

I've had the laziest four-day weekend ever, and I only feel a tiny bit guilty that I didn't get anything practical done.  Just ate a ton, slept, and knit!  I've become obsessed with quick little knitting projects too:

Actually, my holiday knitting plans aren't so grand this year.  I've decided not to make anything large and complicated for anyone and instead make lots of small Christmas ornaments as gifts.  I've found a lot of cute patterns - Liz just posted these little stockings, and there's also these nifty double-knit stockings, Julia's pretty leaf ornaments, and the Knitted Ornaments from Handknit Holidays.  In fact, I've already finished one of the Handknit Holidays ornaments:

I think they'd both be pretty quick knits if I had a bit more time to work on them!

I found a way to make the Tuxedo Shirt fall-appropriate:

Ta-da!  (Sorry about my expression and the blurry picture--self-timer issues.)  I love this look and am tempted to cast on for another vest right now (like this one)!

 And I know I'm a little late, but I thought I'd post a picture of our Halloween costumes. 

I thought they were pretty obvious, but apparently not everyone knows who Bjork or the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show are.  My costume was fairly simple--I bought a $5 tube dress from Target, sewed on a swan head and glued on some feathers.  You can't see it in the picture, but I also knit an eyelash-yarn edging and sewed it to the bottom of the dress.

Coming soon...knitting progress pictures!
