Though I haven't stopped crafting, happily. We had a little open house over the weekend to show off our new home to nearby family & friends so that ate up most of our weekend. Though Sunday I was able to steal a little time to watch BBC's Pride & Prejudice and work on some knitted slippers.
I've been needing some since my last pair had to be thrown out. I had worn holes through to the floor :( So far I have the first cable knitted up and am currently working on the body. Then I'll have one more cable to knit up before I can try felting the pieces. As I continued to read the pattern (after starting), I realize it is a little more involved than just knitting, which I would have preferred. But I suppose I will finally try felting now! I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out.
Other than that, I have a few gifts on my list to start, but most I do not have the yarn yet or haven't found the right combinations. I'm still on a yarn-diet so I hate to buy new colors when I still have so many baskets full of yarn. Hopefully I can get those gifts started this week as we only have a couple left before Christmas. :)
