Christmas favorites

The baby blanket is growing, Xmas present #8 is getting bigger - and isn't going to be given until the 29th so I still have some time.  So all in all, things are looking fantastic. Tomorrow I leave for Connecticut.  And I can't wait!

The last off the list

I have started the last of the Xmas presents, and I am relieved the end is in sight.  I have some ends to weave in, some wrapping to do, but otherwise there is just travelling. Yup. I am going home to CT to spend Christmas with my family.

Today P. and I have been married for two months.  I was sitting at the coffee shop turning the heel on my second Jaywalker sock listening to Johnny Cash, and suddenly, our first dance song from the wedding was filling the coffee shop.

Giftees and why it is better not to lie

Mon, 12/12/05 11:00 A GMT-07
It is so much fun to see everyone's knitting spots.  I know that when P. and I move I will have to get a comfy chair to put next to a sunny window.  And I know that everyone has protested that they are messy too, but what you didn

Fri, 12/02/05 9:14 A GMT-07
I broke down. I admit it.  I was trying to hold off working on the my mittens until after all the Christmas presents were done, but I couldn't do it.  So, my mitten, it is underway.  This is my own design so I can only assume that ther
