Ahh, my house is clean. Seriously, is there anything better than a clean house? (Except maybe a clean house with lots of fresh baked cookies?)
Made another (huge) batch of cookies for Paul to take to work, cleaned the house, finished Christmas shopping, all of the presents are wrapped, I am (mostly) packed, the dishes are done, now I’m just trying to decide which knitting projects to take with me on the trip. (This is difficult. Last time I traveled I took no less than 8 projects with me, and had time to work on ONE. Waste of precious suitcase space) but I am planning on a lot of downtime on this trip, so maybe 3 projects and a book? I can always go to the yarn store and buy more yarn if I am dying for a project.
Also, trying to learn how to knit ruffles… I am not impressed so far, seems like ruffles would be easier. Also, I love ruffles, why has it taken me so long to try them? Anyhow, this will be a ruffled baby hat, and I need to learn to knit a flower to go on the side. Why have I never knit a flower before? Huh.
Blogging might be light during the trip, due to the fact that it’s Christmas, and who blogs during Christmas anyway? I am hoping to keep up with my December Photo Project, I am pretty proud of myself that I haven’t missed a day yet! And we’re already on day 22, so I can do another 3, right? Or! I could take 3 more pictures today and then set to Auto-Post and just call it good. Is that cheating?
Well, off to make dinner and pack away all of the Christmas presents.
Merry Christmas!
Hang in there with the ruffle. It looks ugly at first but the end result is worth it.
The k2tog thing gets annoying too, but it is only for a couple rows and then it is smooth sailing. I enjoy seeing your knitting projects. You keep inspiring me to keep my needles clicking (although not much of that has happened this week). Merry Christmas!
