There is just too much going on in my life right now. I'll be coming back to the blog in a couple of days.
Happy new year!

Uncharted
Last week we bought a PS3! We have already started playing this game:
It's fun!!
There is not much knitting being done around here, I have started a coat from an older issue of Verena. The gloves for my brother are not finished yet, I am not sure if I will make it - I have bought another Christmas present for him, just in case =)!

Still some Christmas knitting to do
The last days and weeks have been crazy. I am happy to say that I have passed the insurance knowledge and practice exam at my company - and just got the best marks in all fields. Yay! I am so much looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Free time - and therefore knitting time - is very valuable to me right now.
I have already finished those Christmas presents:
The two hats are, well, hats, obviously, but the black things are leg warmers which arised out of a really screwed Mariah - sweater. I liked the cables on the sleeves so much that I turned them into leg warmers - and pretty ones, I think!
And, may I present you "the first sweater" - it actually is not the first sweater I ever knit, but one of them. At this point, it is about 10 years old and I knit it without a pattern (!!) and without knowing anything about designing, gauge or stuff like that. I made it up as I went, and although the colors are bright and cheerful, I did not know that I hate scratchy mohair back then. The armholes don't fit well, the neck is big, but nevertheless I like the whole thing.
This is the progress of the Verena sweater. I redesigned the pattern to be knit in the round - this knit is not as fast as I would have expected. I want to cast on sooo many other things, but I am trying to be strong and ... ooops, there are still some gloves missing as a Christmas present for my brother.

Warhammer
I got one of those tabletop starter sets for Saint Nicholas day! I never thought about buying one myself, although the miniatures are really cute. Now my bf got me one, and I am looking forward to painting them - and playing, of course!
Most of my knitting is either Christmas knitting (yawn!) or UFOs I just should finish. One of them is the Icelandic horse Lopi sweater - I am actually doing fair isle and it does not look too bad!
Pictures as soon as my bf is back from Germany with the camera =).
