Knitting Gifts

One of my Christmas gifts was a Boye Needlemaster, which I am very excited about (thanks Vivien!). I love the idea of having one set of interchangeable circular needles, rather than the incredibly messy jumble of all different sizes currently in my incredibly disorganized needle box. So far I've liked using the Needlemaster. I knit this boy's hat with it and had no problems at all with the cord being too stiff. The needles do tend to unscrew after knitting with it for a while, but I just got into the habit of tightening it every so often and that seemed to be a good, not too inconvenient, solution. Next on the to do list: organize the knitting supplies!


Another fun gift: last night hubby surprised me with this mug. Cool- just need to keep out away from the youngster's inquisitive eyes!
