And Now for Something Knitted

I finally brought out the camera to document some knitting.....

I love these things....they aren't mine, I knitted them for my roommate, so they are still in the house, but they do not belong to me.  I will probably have to knit some for myself one day.

The pattern is from Melanie Falick's book Handknit Holidays and the design is Annie Modesitt's.   I loved kntting these so much, I knitted a second set for someone else last Xmas.  I obviously did not have the camera out the entire month of November or December, while these were coming together.  I actually had to buy needles for this project.  I know, and me with more needles than you can shake a stick at...ha ha.  Actually, I bought Aluminum needles and they worked great with the wire.  It took a while to find the wire here in paradise, because a shopper's paradise it is not.  Luckily, I met some nice people along the way to finding the beads and the wire.  There are several bead shops here, but only one carries the 24 gauge wire.

Now then, since the camera was out and about....here's one of the sunsets I blame for me not producing alot of finished objects: 

note the teenie tiny sliver of moon
