my husband declared this morning "Santa's Sweatshop is officially closed"
Vixen and I are ready to savor the rest of the holiday season
are you ready?
I hope so ~ it's time to enjoy family and friends and celebrate!
Don't forget about our New Year's Knitalong ! There's still plenty of time to gather the pattern and yarn before our cast on party January 1st!
Happy holidays, blog friends near and far.
I enjoy our time here together immensely and look forward to 2014 and all it brings!
Ho ho ho :)
Melissa
Merry Christmas Melissa.

Merry Christmas! That is quite lot of hand knit presents! Congrats to you for getting them all done. I have my roving for the KAL on order. It is being dyed and I'll start spinning it on the 1st!

ReplyDeleteDid Santa eat allllllll the sprinkles your little one left for him?? it was ALOT :)
DeleteI'm ready for January 1st, too....except I don't know what yarn I'll use yet!
Santa can't hold a candle to your work. I've seen Elf, and frankly, you are a lot more impressive. I hope by now you are relaxed and enjoying the remainder of the holiday season. Whatcha making for you? Hmmm... I could look in your projects to see if there are some hints.
ReplyDeleteI'm just finishing up a few things that have been laying around while I'm waiting to start the New Years Knitalong ~ I'm itching to cast on something new but trying to avoid the temptation since I want Spire to have my undivided attention!
DeleteI did just finish something I started over 3 years ago ~ just need to get it blocked and then I'm really excited to share it :)
Nice. Finishing something always feels sooooo good. Happy New Year, lil' friend.
Deletethanks, Penny ~ right back at ya' :)
DeleteEverything looks picture perfect. I especially love the mittens. And the bags. And the moose head. And the hats. Ok I love it all.
ReplyDeleteAnd by moose I really mean raindeer:).
Deleteyou're funny, Sanja :) ~ I knew what you meant but it took me a second!
Deletethank you!
You've already heard me wax eloquent, but
ReplyDeleteHot. Dawg.
It's gotta be a bad sign that I'm so turned on by beautifully executed rustic knits. I love your aesthetic. Have you considered creating a coffee-table book or calendar with these?
if that's a bad sign, Will, we're both in trouble (thanks!) ~ no book or calendar planned but you may have just sparked a little lightbulb in my noggin (although not a 40 or 60 watt ~ hehe)
