the blue blog archives: lookie, I got a gold star

Last night, before the ball dropped, I finished my last holiday knit gift, the too big tech guy sock (read the sad saga here). I even managed to add a fun embroidered design before the countdown began. I don't have any pictures, as the recipient was with us for New Year's Eve and wore the socks home. I'm sure I'll see them again though and they'll have their moment in front of the camera.

For now, I'm as proud of my gold star as a grade-schooler with her first graded homework assignment. And I can ring in the new year by knitting something new and exciting for me!

Hey, you wear that star proudly! I'd be showing off if all my holiday knitting were done too. ;) Wishing you and yours a very happy new year!

Congratulations! Wear your gold star proudly. There's a reason we like Hermione so much.

What's on the plate for you? Happy New Year.
