New camera has arrived, so this will be a picture-heavy post. Lots of FO's and a WIP. First, I made a pair of gauntlets/wrist warmers for Molly. They match the socks she got for Christmas. She sent me a few pix:


They're basically the same ones from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, with very slight modifications. They worked out so well that when I heard MoMo's office is freezing, I whipped up a pair for her from the tea-cozy leftovers.

I still have one more pair to work out, though, and that's using the Great Adirondack Seabreeze yarn, a.k.a. the worst yarn detangling nightmare I've ever lived through. Stephen really earned the husband points fixing that mess. At any rate, Karen has a skein of (hopefully) NOT tangled Seabreeze, and I promised her a pattern. Have to prototype it first, though.
I also finished a simple scarf using Twisted Sisters Voodoo. Oh. My. God. That yarn is SO soft and SO wonderful to work with. Highly recommended.

And I can't forget the Bee Sox - Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Bee Stripe:

I finished a cashmere cap over the holidays, too. I got the kit some time ago at Jimmy Beans Wool. It turned out okay, and it was very simple so good sick-knitting.

That's about all I've finished recently. I'll touch on the new project in another post.

It's approximately the same as the crossover scarf they showed on Knitty Gritty. The pattern is here.
