update on the craftiness

So I ordered the yarn for my Christmas knitting yesterday. Yes, I'm well aware that I should have started this in, oh, January. But what can I say? The girls were here until recently and I couldn't very well knit their own presents in front of them, now could I? But I am doing a lot on the chunky knit front, so hopefully things will come together quickly. 

Also started on a quilt yesterday, only to discover that my sewing machine has a tummy ache; it only goes when I hold the pedal in my hand and push it that way. Weird, huh? Loose wire somewhere, I'm sure. 

Anyway, I'll post pictures soon. Right now I'm craftily avoiding actual work by blogging. Sneaky, no?
