yup, startitis is kicking in again. new on the needles: a bib (started last week) and Mrs Beeton.
the bib is part of a set that will be going to a friend who is due around new year’s.
Mrs Beeton will likely be a holiday gift in lieu of a toy that was planned. (they’re going pretty quick).

anyone ever lose one of those remote/key combinations for their car? any locksmith recommendations for possibly getting my key replaced? I’m waiting for the dealer to call me, the bus’ lost & found to call back, and will search the sidewalk on my way home, but in the meantime I’m going nuts!

(thankfully, I can walk from home to the bus stop so I’m not completely stranded or anything. I just can’t concentrate on work AT ALL.)

finally!

Wednesday on the morning bus ride, I managed to time things perfectly - I cast off the back of Twist just in time for me to put things away and get off at my stop. unfortunately, the back of the sweater is not the entire sweater, so I didn’t get too far on the NaKniSweMo goal.

so on Wednesday’s trip home, I didn’t want to start the fronts or sleeves yet, so I pulled out the HP bookscarf and got a few more rows done there.

now, back to the holiday knitting!
I started a hat:
