Knitting and rat picture spam

oyceterBecause I am procrastinating and not writing up my 2006 books post, here is picture spam!
I ended up knitting a lot of small things in 2006, which was fun. Four pairs of fingerless gloves! A lot of scarves! I should probably remember to take more knitting pictures; I still don't have pictures of all my projects.
And then, of course, there are the obligatory rat photos. It's easier to take pictures of them, now that they aren't running around and trying to escape every ten seconds.
My first version of Fetching, knit in Noro Silk Garden, after having used most of the yarn for other gauntlets.
Two scarves and a headband! I just used a random Celtic knot pattern for the headband, and the blue scarf is done in Paton Soy Wool Stripes, made with a pattern from Scarf Style. I really like it because it's reversible. I'm still working on the brownish scarf, but the other two have gone out to their recipients!
My yarn stash. Um. Yeah.
Gauntlets I knit for my sister this week to match her lavender alpaca scarf.
A very boring baby blanket that I am making for a coworker. Except it's so boring! I may not finish it in time for it to still fit the baby.
A shirt that's been lying around forever, waiting for me to seam, weave in ends, pick up stitches for the armholes and collar, and block. Someday...
Another shirt that's been waiting forever for me to weave in ends and block. I also need to buy some pink ribbon to thread through the neckline.
The insane crochet cardigan. This is possibly half of the back. It will take me five years to finish this because I'm making it out of crochet thread, but... it's so pretty!
Ruki, with a supporting role by Renren's nose.
Oh, my lazy flat rats!
Ruki yawning and the other two being lazy.
Really flat rats in my lap!
Ruki, probably planning escape
