I also packed up a few of the mini stars and tree cookies I made last weekend for her kids (she has three also), but she wasn&#8217;t there today! Bummer!! Hopefully she checks in before the school is officially closed for two weeks (kindergarten is only a few days a week out here). Anyhoo, here&#8217;s her little package!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"\/images\/socks-of-kindness-packaged.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Since my last knitting post a few days ago, I&#8217;ve finished a stack of facecloths and one mitten. I posted about the first two facecloths <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soverydomestic.com\/blog\/index.php\/2010\/12\/12\/christmas-knitting-update\/\">here<\/a>. They&#8217;re all knit from the same pattern, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groupepp.com\/dishbout\/kpatterns\/lacymockcable.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mock Cable Facecloths<\/a>, in three colours of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitpicks.com\/yarns\/Shine_Worsted_Yarn__D5420140.html\" target=\"_blank\">Shine Worsted<\/a>. Clementine is pretty obviously the orange pair, Wisteria is the light purple and Green Apple, of course is the green. I really adore this yarn and will be using it for more facecloths for the fam and for gifts!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"\/images\/mock-cable-facecloths001.jpg\">&nbsp;<img src=\"\/images\/mock-cable-facecloths002.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m on a serious Knit Picks bender lately, this time using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitpicks.com\/cfyarns\/yarn_display.cfm?ID=5420103\" target=\"_blank\">Wool of the Andes Worsted<\/a> in Dune Twist. These mitts are for the kids&#8217; school bus driver. He&#8217;s a new addition to our list of gift recipients since we have moved out to the woods! He&#8217;s a very nice guy and the kids always say that he&#8217;s not a yeller! I&#8217;ve never taken the school bus to school personally, but I always heard about mean school bus drivers. Glad to know he isn&#8217;t one! Also, wee one #2 tends to move slowly in the snow and he never gives her a hard time about waiting for her so he deserves something special. He&#8217;ll get a tin of treats too of course!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"\/images\/bus-driver-mitts01.jpg\">&nbsp;<img src=\"\/images\/bus-driver-mitts02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I will be baking a whole lotta cakes and cupcakes in the next three weeks to catch up on my self-inflicted cake challenge. Which may prove extra tricky since we&#8217;re away for 5 days, but I can do this! I made a little dent tonight with cake #45, Candy Cane Cake. No adult could stomach this. Maybe Andrew. Maybe. <i>Don&#8217;t take that as a challenge, I even tried it in milk and the peppermint still knocked me on my butt<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"\/images\/candy-cane-cake.jpg\"><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/freshlypieced.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1109\/5159705972_49be14a673_m.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tamisamis.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/WIPW\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"\/images\/tami_wip.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shellyfish.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"\/images\/wipbanner_red.gif\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this post, I&#8217;m participating in three WIP Wednesdays; Freshly Pieced, Tami&#8217;s Amis and Musings from the Fishbowl.
