Last Finished Objects of 2009 (originally written on January 2)

Happy new year everyone. The break is almost over, and I'll be returning to work on Monday morning, quite possibly with the wedding afghan in tow (to work on during lunch).

The break went by in a blur, readily helped by the fact that I had acute bronchitis for a good week ... and thought it was just a bad chest cold. I'm better now, thanks to a speedy doctor's visit, a chest x-ray, and lots and lots of antibiotics.

Anyway, I have some pictures to show ...
For those not on the East Coast of the United States, there was a blizzard on Saturday, December 19th. There was a lot of snow. My part-time job ended several hours ahead of schedule, which meant I, in a fit of brilliance, decided to drive to the nearest train station and catch a ride to Manhattan for the blizzard.

Here are the socks in progress in the car...

And here they are, finished!
Thuja socks, pattern by Bobby Ziegler.
Barely used up two skeins of Artyarns Supermerino in colorway 151 Calypso, purchased at Knitting on the Lamb in Huntington, NY.
Knitted on US 6 dpns. Started on December 5, finished on December 22nd. They are warm, comfy, and fit perfectly.
