And I got everything done on my knitting list that needed to be done. I didn’t do any of the things that I was contemplating, which is good. Everything got done and I’m back to knitting for myself, with no deadlines.
Things like this:
That’s Hill Country Yarn in Blueberry Yarn, given to me by a very good friend who accepts my obsession and shopped at The Loopy Ewe, even though she’s not a knitter.
I think my tension/gauge issue is slowly being resolved. I’m knitting tighter, that’s for sure. I knit a Hot Waffle Mitt without doing a gauge swatch (of course) and found it a little too small. So, I took it apart and have knit a gauge swatch. I haven’t measured it yet to see exactly what my gauge is doing. It’s better, that’s for sure.
And, we got a new bed! We’ve upgraded from a 12 year old, $200 queen sized mattress set, to a brand new, king sized mattress set that cost considerably more than $200. It’s heaven.
That’s Punky, the bulemic cat on the bed. He looks a little like Punky, the Devil Cat in that picture, but he’s the sweetest of our three cats. He’s almost like a very low maintenance dog; he comes when you call for him, and just wants to be loved. The down side is that he tends to throw up after he eats. His sweetness generally makes up for the puke.
We’re going to have a small Christmas Eve dinner and then go look at Christmas lights before Santa makes an appearance. We’re off to visit my dad and his family on the 26th and we won’t be back until the 30th, and I plan on being a better blogger after that.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Very pretty yarn! Congratulations on an astute and caring friend!
And the bed looks lovely.
Merry Christmas! Travel safely!
