Despite the knitting frenzy some of us are in, this time of year is our year. Our year to create, knit or crochet, plan, and gift.
Warm pumpkin tea is being sipped while gifts are being knit.
Listening to Christmas songs, during the completion of a comfort blanket for a friend in need. Thanks to the many amazing women in our group, I am feeling the love with every square connection.
New sock yarn is being ignored (with great difficulty), while priority knitting is taking priority.
Our Ravelry group has helped to to make this holiday season that much more. Inspiration and talent is in abundance here my friends. :) Twenty nine projects have been finished in two weeks!
Podcasts are being watched here and here, to help me keep in the knitting spirit.
Ornaments drooled over at Liesl's.
Favorite holiday movies are in heavy rotation, again helping with the knitting process.
Since I need to get back on track with the knitting frenzy, I will leave you with my favorite Christmas song.
Happy Holiday Season!
XO
Andi

the blanket is so pretty! I just love the idea behind it so much. Knitters are such great friends, aren't they! I have the christmas music on non stop over here, knitting is coming along nicely, which reminds me I need to post some photos to the kal thread.. hope you have a merry week!

I am so hard core crocheting rightnow i havent been able to blog between that and the kids coming home form college and family visiting i feel like Buddy the Elf when he decorates the toy shop in Gimbles in the movie ...I am on Elf hyper speed. Also while my hands are busy working I am mas completely addicted to all the sappy Christmas movies.
Be well friend!

Festive post, Andi! I can't wait to get my mitts on a cup of hot tea with a red wine chaser and knit!

I recognize that yarn. I forget the post, but you linked to it and they did a fish lip heel. I drove myself mad looking for it. Thanks for having the label in the picture!
