Still sick
I'm still suffering the effects of a severe cold. Now that some of the congestion has moved out of my lungs and chest, I feel a little better, but it has all moved to my head. ugh. Anyway, after several days of rest, I went to knitting group on Wednesday night, armed with drugs, cough drops and a new knitting project. Two lovely ladies came by to pick up the order they commissioned from me as a gift for their daughter/sister. Here's the finished product, fingerless lace-up gauntlets from my hand-painted yarn (100% merino, double-faced satin ribbon):
Last night, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had another sale on my etsy shop. So this morning, went early and was the first in line at the post office to drop off a new order from my etsy shop. yay! - I sold 2 of the headbands I made recently (see previous post). I couldn't just put an estimated postage on the package in order to avoid holiday traffic because the package needed to go to Canada.
In other crafty news, I started yet another knitting project, despite having about 10 other WIPs. I've been planning on making something(s) for my friend Linh in preparation for her drastic climate change from Dallas to Chicago. 
I settled on a combination of a kid mohair yarn and a 60/40 cashmerino blend yarn, both of which I hand-painted/dyed. I think the lace pattern is called ivy lace.
My next cast on will be a pair of sample Liana gauntlets for the class that I will be teaching based on the kit.

Sorry you were sick! I hope you were recuperated in time for Christmas. Congrats on all the sales! Everything looks beautiful!
Anne!! Holy Shit - we used to work together!! I knew you were cool back then...but I couldn't put my finger on why and now I know!! I guess we were both closet fiber-freaks and didn't know it!!
I'll email you & reveal my identity (unless you can figure it out by looking at my blog, although I'm pretty stealthy about hiding my face). Here's a hint...we went to Benchmark in Santa Cruz together:)...& I'm one of your Friendsters....
I'm gone from PAI now too...lots of a great memories of that place.
