Potential labels for hand-made presents

The inspiration came from some ready-made labels, but with the new machine, I had to do it myself (and put a colorful twist on the forever-O...)

I can't wait for the post-Christmas-present-making recovery...

I'm not quite through all the pieces I intended to make for family and friends this Christmas. I should have penciled in more than a month and a half to make 20 gifts... lesson learned.

Super-uber-chunky cowl... DONE. (My own pattern)

Beginning of a simple fair isle hat... (My own pattern)

Chunky cable hat... DONE.

Preparing another skein to knit...

this hat was among the first to get finished.

Among the presents not quite finished, but getting there...

Next year, I need to come up with a better game plan...

Christmas in Portland

My dream job is to be a Window Displayer, but the job market in Portland for that is flooded with amazing Window Displayers. Damn.
