Merry Christmas

So it is Christmas season, and I might finally be in the mood for it to be so. Today was very Christmassy, 4 Christmas movies, and 2 Christmas crafts completed. Today I finally finished my stocking which makes me very happy. I just need to felt it which requires borrowing a washing machine since we only have front loaders. I also have completed this years Christmas craft from my aunt. These pretty little snow men ornaments.

This year has not been very Christmassy however, mainly because between moving, and school there has been far too much going on to really get in the Christmas spirit. But hopefully now I am and can have a good rest of the year before school starts in the New Year.

It will be a very merry knitting Christmas for me and I wish for a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you. Just in case I do not post for the rest of the year, which is possible since I do quite often forget to post.

I Know....

Yes, I know it has been forever since I have updated. Somehow life became much more busy since finishing those essays, 3 final exams and 4 more essays descended on my life and made me too busy to update for a while. Then family and hair dying also made it much more difficult, especially coupled with the moving plans that have happened. So now hopefully I will be able to update, as well as get some knitting done.

So here is my stocking, almost done. So much more completed than the last time I had posted. I have one more round to do on the double pointed needles and then the kitchner graft or whatever it is called and then I just have to felt it. This will make me much happier since it means that I have actually finished something, something that hasn't happened much lately. Especially since the dishclothes I was doing for Christmas gifts didn't even get finished on time and they were abandoned.

Since then, however, I have recieved a nice Christmas gift from Kat, a knitting book called "Pretty Knits". It has several very pretty patterns that I am very excited to try. I am already working on one and that is my second closest done project after the Christmas Stocking.

Here is my sweater that I have started from the "Pretty Knits" book. It is already 6.5" long and just needs to get to 20.5" before I decrease. So far I'm actually getting somewhere with this. I think it is because I am working in 4 row sections of each colour and then switiching. I think that helps me feel like I'm getting somewhere.

And here is a picture of the sweater that will be concluded hopefully in the near future.

Well good knitting. New post soon.
