I made a whole lot of stuff and neglected to tell anyone

My camera is hiding somewhere in the house, so I have no pictures of the ridiculous amount of things I've made recently. Maybe there will be a later update with a bunch of crappy cameraphone pictures.

The recent roundup:

Christmas things

-scarf for Mama with lace motif from Arisaig
-Branching Out for Marisa
-earflap, fair-isle hat for Papa
-a slew of non-beaded Perdita and Perdita-esque bracelets
-Bowtie scarf and Cozy Armchair socks from Weekend Knitting for Grama
-Cable + rib hat for Gram
-Earflap fair-isle hat with ties for Allen
-PARTY HARD headband and ridiculous plushie for my Dumbrella Secret Santa

Other things in chronological order, from wow a really long time ago jeez goodtime blurriness

-Fetching, for me
-Socks for Allen! My first sock, a simple toe-up deal made from an alpaca/silk blend (Cascade Success, I think?).
-Thigh-high stockings for me! A solid-color modification of the Very Tall Socks.
-Knee-high Mata Hari socks for me! I did an eyelet border for the tops, but havev yet to find the right elastic to thread through them.
-Cable + rib elf hat for myself. The top needs to be redone, since it keeps falling off my head.
-Fingerless mitts (in Malabrigo, which was a bad idea because of wear and tear) from Weekend Knitting for Allen.
-Fingerless mitts (in Noro Silk Garden, which was a bad idea because of scratchy) for me. These will be frogged that I might use the yarn in my first foray into the world of entrelac.
-Modified Ruffled Neckwarmer for me. I knitted it while watching Pride and Prejudice!
-Perdita for Allison.
-some sewn skirts.
-a ridiculous pinafore!

Stuff happening right now

-Gentleman's sock with lozenge pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks for Allen.
-Baudelaire for me.

I'm done with one of each and hoping that switching off between them will keep me from getting bored and abandoning them completely. Next up will be some kind of lacy sweater project(s) from recycled yarn, a cabled-yoke pullover with Frog Tree Alpaca (thanks to a Christmas present gift certificate to WEBS from Mama) similar to this one, but with my own pattern. With any luck, I'll be able to get Knitting Without Tears from the library (I noticed it there on my last trip) and it'll help me with yoke-y madness. Another, more face-covery neckwarmer or little scarf might happen soon, as well.
