Oh my time do fly! This is my first year of blogging in the lead up to the Christmas season, and isn't it tricky to squeeze everything in? I barely have a moment to catch my breath, let alone thirty minutes to scribble a post.
I have, however been so busy with my knitting and crochet. The blanket continues to gobble yarn and is growing and growing. Gifts are on the needles (see above), I can't say I am really enjoying this project, it is a Kim Hargreaves Beret and the second one I have made. The first was in grey and didn't seem such a chore, but this one is black and combined with tiny winey needles is making my eyes go quite funny! And my little head is bursting with ideas for presents and decorations to make.
In addition to this, a few like minded friends and I have set up a little Knit n' Natter group. Sometimes meeting three (I know three) times a week. We LOVE it! We stitch, problem solve, eat cake and generally put the world to right, and are such a glamourous bunch, I quite regularly let the group down with my (literally) just got out of bed look!
Plus, I cannot stop daydreaming about this as a Christmas party outfit. So today for just a few moments, I am going to sit still, and knit, whilst visions of Lacey Playsuits dance in my head!
It is so busy heading into Christmas, hope you get everything done.

I'm being pretty lazy about making Christmas gifts this year- I'm only making for my two sisters. But then, I have knitted several birthday presents this year. The year I made presents for everyone I had to start knitting and crochet in August to get done in time! I'm sure your recipients will love their gifts though.

the holidays have come lightning fast and i'm very much behind in my making! that's so nice that you gals meet up to 3 times a week; i miss my girlfriends and don't see them often enough.

I love to put my feet up! Great tights by the way. I am only committing to knitting socks for my kids this year. That is quite enough at the moment. I would really like to try a beret though. A friend of mine makes them and they always look so chic on her.

Try not to get too stressed. I hope you buy that outfit. Bet you'd like it!
