I'm back!!!!!

My non-knitting enthusiasm has left me! yayyyyyyy!!!
I finished the back of the twilleys cardi yesterday, but I'm putting it out of the way till I get christmas knitting done! Heres the start of my nieces ballet cardi, beads n all!

I'm thinking it won't take too long, although it is in 4ply...........I should really have started sooner!
I need to ressurect Ivy too as this is supposed to be my older sisters christmas pressie, that has also been left as I kid myself there is plenty of time till christmas:O)
I spoke to dh about his scarf (which is progressing particularly badly) and we have come to a compromise that I make him one in some chunky yarn so that he actually gets to wear it this year!!!!!! So I'm using some ggh columbia, which is a subtly variagated boucle type yarn, in black/grey! No more boring myself silly with endless rows of moss stitch rib!!!!!!!! although I do have to admit that I hadn't bored myself for very many inches:-)
