Christmas Done.....Here comes 2021

 Hey everyone.....I am sure I am not the only one that is ready to say goodbye to 2020......Christmas is done and it was very good to me.  I finished Darlene's wrap, and I also gifted her the test knit I do every year for my friend, Brigit, in The Netherlands.....her Advent Stole is a dream to test knit every year!

I even squeezed out a hat for Bizz and an ornament for Ped.

Now, the ornament above took me 5 hours......like for real maybe even a little more than 5 hours....but this much simpler pattern takes a lot less time (but I did not try this one till after Christmas)......so this is what my future ornament knitting will be:

Darlene got me my annual tea calendar and mug that I absolutely love, but she also made me the most gorgeous quilt that is as soft as butter!  Thank you Darlene!

I also finished that hat I was working on for a friend's father, and the Christmas tree I was crocheting....Paige stole the Christmas tree, put it in her house with lights in it.....

I also finished my Hedgehog Fibers blanket....and signed up for next years blanket with Jimmy Beans Wool....Next year is Malabrigo Rios Yarn.

Darlene's grandson wants a Rasta hat.....so I found this yarn in stash:

Antonio got a Y Flicker scooter and learned to shoot a BB gun......

A special someone got me some beautiful Daisies.....they make me smile everyday!

Lastly, my kids got me a Food Saver (Yeah!!!) and some amazingly soft pants (not pictured because they are on my body) and my parents got me a Lululamon oversized 1/2 sweat shirt....I love it all!  I was definitely spoiled this year!

Well, I think that is all I have.......good bye 2020.....Hello 2021, and please be better to us.....I hope to be more consistent with my blog next year.....thanks for following me!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Still Christmas Knitting......

 Hey everyone...how are you?  I am still Christmas knitting.....Yikes!  I am trying to hard to get done....LOL!

I also got my December yarn for my blanket....and just as I thought, it is another main color that I do not need, but will keep for a hat or something.

Melissa, Elizabeth and I podcasted episode 8 (link here) and Elizabeth had her annual Christmas party....not many pics, as we all socially distanced.

Melissa got us monogramed cups...I love them!

I started a crocheted bobble tree

and a hat for our Hat KAL on the podcast

and my author friend sent me an autographed book she has out for Christmas.....its a Christmas Novella and you really should give it a read.....It is called Judge me Not.  Thank you Maggie!

Well, that is really all I have....have a great week....and remember to be kind!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

It's the Most Craziest Time....er, I mean Wonderful Time

 Hi everyone.....so sorry I have been MIA for SOOOOO long.  Sometimes time seems to zoom past me and other days it seems to stay still.  I cannot believe it is December already and I have not blogged since Nov 10.  WOW!  I promise to be better (not that I am even sure how many ppl read my blog)!

So, I finally finished the MKAL!  I really love it and I am so glad I did it!

Celeste had a birthday and her family took her to the ice skating rink....so I got to wear a sweater I finished a long time ago and never got to wear (it just has not been cold enough).

I also got my November yarn for the Hedgehog blanket...I am almost done with November, then just December and this blanket is done!

I love this blanket so much I already signed up for next year's which will be with Malabrigo Rios (and we all know how much I love Malabrigo Rios)!

I got some gorgeous daisies the other day and they just make me smile everyday!

Well, that is really all I have......I hope you had a fabulous and save Thanksgiving!  I had an amazing thanksgiving with my family....there were exactly 10 of us and we ate outside....it was wonderful!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
