It's a long one...sorry!

Sorry in advance, this one is a bit full lol finished objects, new goodies and my last glass making class objects.
I made some scruffy looking purple pom poms with the clover pom pom makers :)
Knitting wise, I finished the milo for baby Andrew on the Tesco tree :) baby blue acrylic with the giant cable twist going down the front.
My last glass fusion class I got back my fused pieces, these are the pendants made of iridescent glass. 
I also drilled the xmas decorations so they can be hung, two of the icicles were too thin for the drill bit she brought so they didn't get drilled. The snowman turned out a lot better than I thought and the trees a lot darker than I thought, though I still like them, wish all my icicles could have been drilled as they'd look cute on a tree :)
 
I made an order with countess ablaze when she had her twelve Caesars update. This is her roving, superwash BFL in colour King In The East, love the contrasting colours and how vibrant it looks, the plus side to roving is it can be spun or knit as a super chunky so I can decide when I get to it what I shall do with it.
This is superwash BFL aran from the 12 caesars collection Titus; My Friend, I have Wasted A Day. Love the rich blue/purples and I'm finding aran is a nice knit at the minute, not too thick and not too thin :)
And I got another Lady Persephone sock (BFL/nylon) in This Ain't A Scene coz they're all different and I liked it, this one is very different to the last one I bough, more mixed (the previous had a lot more pink to it).
I finally did the fish lips kiss heel on my mums second sock :) I made a small mistake but think I covered it up ok lol, now just to get on with the leg, hoping these will be finished for christmas, but more likely is new years lol and if I put them down again mothers day lol though I'm trying for this side of the new year, I'm just struggling to knit on the small needles for long.
I went out for the day and it was crazy foggy, so I sat knitting on the bus while the world looked mirky and cold.
I also made a fondant fibre order...I can never resist a coupon code lol and I really wanted the last fungi bag, so I got it, along with some yarn...
Top line left to right: I Like The Rain (BFL/silk) lace, One Fine Day (BFL/silk) lace and Sweet Esacpe (high twist merino/cashmere/nylon) sock.
Bottom: fungi medium sized project bag.
The lace will likely be held double and I still don't know what I'm doing buying lace, it's far too thin lol but the yardage is great and they were on mega sale, I can also never resist a bargain, and they are rather soft and the lace will add a lot of drape.
I got two small free sample of fibre which I can have a play with soon, I have riff raff in the sock and it's lovely, wonder what it'll look like with me spinning it, other than a lot thicker lol
I finished the basic hat for the double time KAL by Joeli's Kitchen on ravelry. This is out of fondant fibre merino/nylon sock in colour moon and sixpence, it looks amazing knit up held double, a gorgeous colourway.
I finished another acht the octopus, this one is for baby Andrew, along with the ziggy beanie and milo vest :) my son claimed it for cuddles for a while but I managed to get it back, this one has 4 royal blue and baby blue tentacles and 4 royal blue and white tentacles coz didn't think I'd have enough baby blue for the tentacles and body...I was wrong lol it has 9mm purple safety eyes which I rather like.
I've made some tufty, scruffy looking burgundy pom poms with the same clover pom pom makers, thinking these can all be used as tree decorations if/when I get round to putting my tree up lol
I'm hoping to make another acht the octopus in pink for baby Debbie from the Tesco tree too, if I can get it finished in a day or two it should be in time to get to her before xmas :)
I kinda failed at making people christmas tree decorations this year, I'd intended making the snowball buddies and some gnomes too...maybe I'll do them through the year and give them to people next year...
Has everyone seen the new MKAL (scarfy shenanigans) by SwordofaKnitter over on ravelry, you should check it out, looks interesting, I'm hoping to do one though it may not be in time for xmas, and one of the skills is icord edges which I'm crappy at so a bit nervous lol
Happy Crafting!
