eternal spring

Long enough to be gently folded...

...long enough to be worn while knitting the last repeats...

long enough.

lubov

Another FO...just in time for the holidays!!

It's the Lubov scarf by Grumperina found in Brave New Knits.

The pattern was straight forward and a fairly quick knit,

I just didn't get the length I expected from it.

And look...a sunny afternoon to accompany the photoshoot!

Don't let it fool you...it was chilly...I had to put on the socks I intended to photograph to stay warm!! (yep...birenstocks, no socks...not anymore!)

It's Friday-eve and Christmas-eve-eve--Yippy Skippy!!

I need to finish up some other projects, get to the grocery store before everyone else, and do a wee bit of house cleaning, very wee...so I better sign off.

I'm not sure I'll be back before the holiday, so let me wish you all a very wonderful and magical holiday season! I hope all your wishes come true!! xo

Christmas is not a time nor a season,
but a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill,
to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

catching up

Our internet is back...yay!!! We had a little connectivity problem this week...and it took UPS 4 days to deliver a next day shipment of a new part...sigh.

That being said...a lot of knitting was accomplished.

Who's watching The Sing-Off??? I got sucked in cuz' of the U of Oregon group, On the Rocks. Heart them, but they're off now (sniff). Are you voting? I'm torn, but I think I'll support Backbeats and Jerry Lawson & Talk of the Town.

Did you notice? We had a splash of sunshine yesterday!

It's Friday, and I'm starting off the weekend right...with dessert! Some friends and I are having a little dessert-fest to welcome the holiday season. We're all bringing our knitting and empty tummies!

What're you up to this last weekend before Christmas? I hope you all have a sweet and lovely weekend!! xo

Aria Delicato by Anne in Madelinetosh merino light in 'Rosewood'

something new

There is nothing better for soggy mojo topped with sniffles than a new project.

The pattern is still in its infancy,

but it will become aria delicato by Anne.

The yarn is my new muse...madelinetosh merino light in 'Rosewood'.

Love. It.

Winter is the time for comfort,
for good food and warmth,
for the touch of a friendly hand
and for a talk beside the fire:
it is the time for home.
