Still knitting CIC vests - am almost done with vest #7, have enough yarn laid out for 2 more. But that's it, I'm down to the dark and dreary colors, which no child wants to wear in dark, dreary, cold Russia.

But I have a stash of Brown Sheep Top of The Lamb Sport in some bright colors. Doubled gives a heavy worsted wt, and so, more socks will be knit. Hmm, unless I pull out that LK 100 knitting machine and run up some more vests? It really does bulky wt better and I have no more bulky wt left. Using 2 or 3 strands to get bulky wt. will surely give me problems. No, I think socks are best and least troublesome!

Hubby is sick as a dog, and I'm trying not to catch it, as I always get sick via a sinus infection causing 1/2 my face to blow up like a chipmunk! I am hoping he gets better soon, as DD is coming Sunday and she gets sick easily. Being a full-time temp, she can't afford to take days off, as it means no pay. Nice how companies hire permanent temps, so they don't have to cough up health coverage, sick days nor vacation time. Buffalo, NY is no bastion of decent, high-paying jobs, so she's lucky to even have the job. If anyone's thinking of moving to NY, don't even think about Buffalo. What am I saying! People are *leaving* NY (state, not city), thanks to the lack of good jobs and high taxes.

Happy (and Healthy!) Holidays to all!
