Surprisingly, I've found time to knit almost every night this week! It makes for some impressive progress to round out the year.
First, another chemo hat for my friend Amy. She's been on my mind, although I have not seen her since school vacation began. It's a deep cranberry red, perfect for the holidays. Too bad I didn't finish it for the holidays. But perfect for Valentines Day just the same, right?

A few more feet on the BCBG knockoff. That's an armhole there, breaking up the 5 feet of cable. I'm at armhole #2, but haven't committed to how wide my back is yet. Will do so after I post this!
A new project just begun. Marley - out of log cabin blanket leftovers.
As for cocktails, tonight we're entertaining. I'm doing booze with the appetizers and in the dessert. The appetizer is a champagne cocktail.
Cassis liqueur in the bottom of the glass, and a mint leaf on top. Pretty. Very festive!
The dessert is a Southern Comfort Cake with a sugary burbony glaze and powdered sugar on top. Served warm with vanilla ice cream. The cake is a total 70s throwback - it's made with both yellow cake mix and pudding mix! And of course, lots of Southern Comfort.
No pics, since they're not prepared yet. If I want to risk ridicule later on tonight, maybe I'll whip out the digital camera in front of the guests. We'll see. Depends on how many of the champagne cocktails I've had, doesn't it?
happy new year to you all!
Am planning to knit out of the stash in 2008 - wanna guess how that's gonna go?
