Read as an ordinary housewife melts down and pokes at people with her knitting needles

 

Joys of the season

My nephew requested not one, but two knit items. Requested.

That’s cool stuff right there, having a last minute knit request from a teenager. Of course we can’t do anything that isn’t video game related, he wants a hat and bag like Link’s from Legend of Zelda. I have the bag finished. The hat may have to wait until after Christmas, but I have the bag nearly finished (I just need to crochet the draw string to the appropriate length and run it through.)

Link bagI am so in love with this stitch pattern, the yarn I could live without, but the stitch pattern is yummy. Actually I shouldn’t disrespect the yarn, yes, it’s freakin’ Red Heart, but it’s not nearly as icky as I expected. And being plastic sometimes has its advantages, like the possibility probability that said teenager will probably want to throw it in the laundry every now and again.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, the brown yarn doesn’t lend itself to showing the stitch pattern in a photo.

I’m behind on my other holiday endeavors, usually I’d be done with cookies, but since I managed to contract the flu, I’m going to hold off on preparing baked good until I’m officially non-infectious.
