Christmas is madness. I went

Christmas is madness.
I went to the shopping centre today, despite swearing that I would *not* go back until the new year. I wasn't christmas shopping, I was clothes shopping in preparation for the vacation. I detest clothes shopping. Anyway, it was hot and crowded.
That was most of the day, but I got a little knitting done!

I'm looking forward to wearing these socks, so I'm working on them quite a bit. This is the first time I've worked with the Lorna's Laces, and I lurve it! I've got a nice little collection of it now, and it's beautiful yarn to knit. I see many LL socks in my future.
This is the progress on my Mondo Cable tank.

The colour in the pic is way off. It's a much brighter colour, a lot prettier than this. This pic makes it look very washed out. I'm enjoying knitting this, too. The yarn is a little slippery, but overall it's not bad. The pattern is easy to follow and nice to knit, as is usual for Bonne Marie!
Yes, my nails are long! Well, actually they used to be longer :)
They are my sole indulgence (Well, apart from yarn!) And for all the people who asked how I work with them - I have had them for so long, they are like an extension of my fingers. Honestly, if I break one, I can't do a thing. They are no problem in my knitting or my sewing, and as for housework? Well, I try not to do any. ;)
Just for Norma, I'm going to grow them even longer now, and paint them red! :P
