Pre-Christmas Catch-up

Its been a while since my last post, but over the past few weeks, I guess I've been busy. Christmas knitting ramped up, taking up a bit of time, and I am nearing the home stretch (and should admit defeat, and say I am done, but there is always the hope that I get one more thing done!). I am mostly pleased with the output, but am still feeling the stress of "crunch time" ... and since I have decided that I don't need more stress in my life, the rest of the things I have planned to make will be put on the back burner and made, if I have time, over the Christmas break, and given as "just because I like you" presents at the end of the month, or into January.

I've made some hats ...








I've also made a few pairs of slippers ...



And a couple of gift wash-cloths in festive holiday colours ...

I love festive holiday colours ;) And am planning to finish the 4th cloth today. They are going with 2 gifts for the secretaries at T's work. They love the hand knit dish cloths, and so will get 2 each, along with some Lindor Chocolates, a mug with snowflakes on it, and a Santa ornament.

I think that sums up the past month of knitting ... details are on Ravelry, on my projects page, or send me a note if you want to know the details on patterns, needle sizes, etc.

I wanted to show you a pretty moonrise from a few weeks ago ...

- it was breathtaking, and these pictures don't even come close to the loviness of it :)
