Holiday Knitting Cancelled

Well... The projects I'd finished as of Sunday are the ones that shall be gifted. My poor hubby's gift will not be in that group. Ice storm. Stepped on the top step, landed on the bottom step on my, well, bottom. Hurt nothing but my wrist - but oh boy. Still hurts a lot - not driving yet- but sadly one of my first thoughts, accompanied by an internal Homer Simpson scream, was Aaaaaaa. I can't knit now!  

Luckily, I have the best husband ever who has been taking fabulous care of me. He'll understand about the sweater. 

Let the Holiday Knitting Race Begin

It's November. How did that happen? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was frantically finishing a Rhinebeck sweater? The weather has turned. We've had to fire up the heating system. The brilliantly colored leaves I look at daily out my kitchen window are gone - casualties of the windy weekend.

I don't mind the colder weather. I like snuggling up in my knits and flannels. I love wearing all my hand-knit wool socks. Fall is my favorite season, and Thanksgiving may be my favorite holiday. But it's also Holiday Knitting Season. This year, my dear Harry Potter {Books more than the movies} obsessed 10 year old daughter is getting a Weasley Sweater. The back is done. The front is half done. I cannot wait to see it finished. I have visions of wrapping it in brown kraft paper, tying it with twine and topping it with a stuffed owl before tucking it under the tree.

Once that's done, I'll be back to the monumental task of knitting up the Fort sweater for my dear {6'2"} husband. Fingers crossed!
