Happy Advent To Everyone!Today is the first Sunday of Advent. Today is the day my family and I traditionally start setting up our home for the Christmas season. Now, I know there are many of you out there who poo-poo the whole idea of setting up Christmas stuff during the reflective season of Advent...but it's our tradition, not yours..."so shut up."
I took a bunch of pics today (and a few tonight) so I'm posting them for your viewing pleasure.
On the knitting front, I am pleased to announce that Madeline has been "living" in her pink felted clog slippers. It fills me with great joy joy!!! Now I just need to make some for me and all our toes will be toasty.
I'm also trying a pattern for knitted sockettes (the pattern is not written well, so I'm glad I've made a pair of socks previous to these...or I would be horribly lost!). I've finished one and crocheted a picot edge on it and tonight I'll start the second. After that I'm not sure what project I'd like to start on next. I've been tempted to try a lace shawl/scarf pattern. We'll see. I'll hit my books and magazines and maybe start a wish list of everything I would like to make.
Well, this will be a short one tonight, folks. It is Sunday night, tomorrow is school for Mads, and I am one tired puppy. Have a great night everyone!
