it's a long way from Christmas My boys are just starting to understand about days and weeks and months and how long it takes until holidays and birthdays come around. As soon as we hung up the new 2006 calendar (a SpongeBob calendar, of course), they asked the all-important question: how long until Christmas comes again. Conclusion: "it's a loooong way from Christmas." So I guess that means it's time to send the holiday gift knitalong to the archives. holiday gift knitalong
over 150 giftknitters check out all the gifts at whowouldntloveahandknittedgift.blogspot.com November 2005 - January 2006 And I can now say that my holiday knitting is really and truly all finished! Yeah, I finished my 12 of 12 gifties back in December, but I had to take the Scarf Style turtleneck shrug out of the count, since I was waiting for more yarn to arrive. Well, the yarn arrived just in the nick of time for nothing on February 9th and the finished shrug finally went out to the recipient this weekend.
The cash iroha feels so warm and snuggly on. And the style is really fun. I just know it's going to look great on the person I knit it for. Still, it's a long way from Christmas. (I hope you caught some of the other late but great knitgifts, like Angela's man sweater, Orli's daughter's sweater, and Anne's Spectacular patterned sweater!) posted by alison at 10:01 am | in

For a minute, I thought you were going to tell us you'd started your Christmas 2006 knitting! That shrug is very cool. Posted by: Chris at February 12, 2006 11:42 AMI love it! Posted by: Scout at February 12, 2006 12:13 PMIt's a Valentines Day hug...and the boys are getting pretty skilled with the camera there! Posted by: Laura at February 12, 2006 12:17 PMI remember how endless the time was between Christmases when I was little. It sure comes around faster these days! Posted by: --Deb at February 12, 2006 1:59 PMWOW. It's FAB, it almost looks like Navy blue. LOL...I wish I also had a daughter but for now the WRAPs I made are for my 2 2nd cousins who are the same age. My son recently had his 3rd birthday and loved it so much that he is asking for it every Friday, as that's when it was. I keep remininding him that a birthday is only once a year, even if he had to cakes, at day care and at grandmas. Posted by: Orli at February 13, 2006 4:33 AM |
