Friday we hung out with our usual crowd, always a good time. Saturday was rainy, so we stayed in for most of the day. I knitted and DH gamed while we watched Buffy. That evening we headed to YA, J and YS's gingerbread (read: graham cracker) house decorating party. Met a lot of new people, had a lot of sugary fun.

| My blurry manger. |
Sunday was also rainy, so knitting and Buffy in the morning. Then I headed over to
Gauge Knits where I took a class on soap making (the heat-already-made-soap-add-scent-color-and-dye-then-pour-into-molds-to-set kind of soap making) taught by
Knitcrawler. I preferred the soap re-combining to the soap making. It's easier and less caustic.

| Adding the dye and scent. |
 |
| Spraying the soap in the mold with alcohol to prevent bubbles forming. |
 |
| The mess at the end of class. |
 |
| My finished soaps. These will probably be Christmas gifts. |
After class I headed home for more Buffy and knitting. I’m really, just about, almost done on this baby blanket. I’ve only two thirds of a row of blocks, the garter stitch boarder, and some blocking left. I hope to be done by Wednesday.
Next time: A review of Rainbow Yarn and Fiber in Memphis.

Now that's the kind of soap making I could get into! Very pretty creations, too!
Impressed by your manger, too - remarkably recognizable for being made out of candy. :)
I dig the manger. I can imagine you dig the thought of being very close to finished with that baby blanket. :)
