The elves have been busy

Around here, the elves have been knitting and knitting.

I happened to have a few skeins of Noro Daria in the stash from last year's sale.  This beautiful pattern came out last week in Magknits.  Kisses to Grumperina.

I think it will make a great present!

The elves finished up a couple of scarves for my favourite kiddos, E and K.  Knit lengthwise on size 11's, these took no time at all.  The frogs are from IKEA.  Their mouths open up to hide lots of goodies!

I'm also knitting a Yorick for X-Mas.  I wrote a great post the other day, which Typepad promptly ate.  The basics-Fog Colourway, Knitpicks Ambrosia, 2 balls, Adrian's fault.  I think the second skull (on the right) came out a bit better, but felting fixes everything, right?  I need about one good day of car knitting to finish up and I'll be ready to graft.

Tonight, I knit a Knecklace.  Sorta.  Folks, don't skip that long tail cast-on.  I did.  Guess what-those stitches don't drop right!  It ends up as a mess if you ignore that crucial instruction.  Despite the online tutorials, thus far I just can't get it.  I'll try again tommorrow.

A bit more yarn loveliness from yesterday's orders:

Nummy Aurora 8.

Those frogs are too cute. I love the color combo of your balls of Aurora. What are they going to be made into?
