feeling a bit under the weather. that’s happening much too often of late. i’ll be getting it checked out after the holiday. until then, i’ll keep muddling along.

in lieu of all kinds of long-winded rambling (gee, i’m really glad i didn’t do nano this year) i’ll leave you with a bunch of pictures and a wee bit of text.

last weekend’s central park/met museum visit:

cleopatra’s needle:

my new favorite piece. hans hoffman’s ‘a hedgehog’ circa 1584:

and now for my currently completed yarn projects. i’m about 80% done with holiday gifts. i’ll be glad to get them all done.

dad’s hat:

mom and two of my aunts’ baskets:

the second try on my cousin’s scarf. didn’t like it and i’m redoing it (pics will follow, of course). curly decided she wanted to use it, so i won’t be frogging it as planned:

ta da.
