christmas cheer A few of my favorite things that Santa brought this Christmas.
A beautiful bag to hold my knitting, the Knitter's Pattern-a-Day calendar from olympic knitting champ Leslie (okay, who didn't get this one this year?!), Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, two beautiful balls of Plassard Louinie (thanks Becky!), and the Clay Aiken Christmas CD. (Did I just admit that I liked Clay Aiken? This is why you won't be seeing a "100 things about me" list here!). And I almost forgot this little guy from Shannon. And the knit-gifts given were received well. The aunties reportedly liked their socks very much. The hat and scarf for my mom were a big hit. Mom loved jess too, but since she's not completely sure about the fit, you get me modelling her. Hooray for Christmas! posted by alison at 10:47 am | in

i love jess. i must knit it. Posted by: Peggy at December 27, 2004 12:29 PMJess looks like it's really cozy...well, if Mom doesn't like it, I'm sure you'll give it a good home, LOL... The Weasley's look great (did you have them pick their sweater colors?) I will certainly try to rest the fingers...it's hard since I'm on the computer all day at work. And no work, no yarn, LOL...Ouchie. Posted by: Eklectika at December 27, 2004 12:33 PMGlad to see you had a very Merry Christmas. The boys look great in their sweaters and your goodies look fun too. :) I may have to investigate a Jess for myself, being my name and all. ;) Posted by: Jessica at December 27, 2004 4:27 PMMy DH is not clued in to the hip knitting gifts, so I am one of the few in Blogland without a Pattern-A-Day calendar. Of course, it's not totally his fault. He doesn't know where any of the yarn shops are, and going online is a challenge for him. I feel blessed when he buys me anything even remotely knitting-related :-). Posted by: Dani at December 27, 2004 8:44 PMNo Pattern-a-Day calendar for me! I'm sure if I requested one, someone would have gotten me one. I'm not sure what all the hype is about, I'll have to check it out. I do have the 365 Knitting Stitches perpetual calendar already though. Posted by: Natalie at December 28, 2004 6:22 PM |
