Back from Portland; regular updates will resume momentarily. In the meantime, have some holiday knitting pics. Here we have a set of matching drawstring bags:

Oh look, more drawstring bags:

Hey! There’s that damn triceretops that took me three and a half hours to stitch together:

The dinosaur was for my little nephew. He digs it. Apparently my brother is going to send a photo of him diggin’ it. Makes it all worthwhile. Pattern was free here.

The set of three pouches are this dice bag in action. The matching bags are from the book HANDKNIT HOLIDAYS. Two skeins of Lamb’s Pride worsted will get ‘em in the small size (one of each) if you junk the Fair Isle, which I did because I wanted to zone out, not read a pattern.

You think that the above represents the sum and total of all the drawstring bags knitted whilst we were away, but you would be mistaken.

My fingers hurt.

Here endeth the knitting interude, amen.
