Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Believe it or not, there is still time to knit a gift. You could be reading this on Christmas Eve and if you had the yarn, there would still be time. Let me introduce you to a little knitting miracle:

Technically one stitch per inch, four stitches per row, but knits up into a wider warmer scarf of ruffly goodness and looks like it's made out of laceweight yarn. You still have time.

There are a few versions of this yarn, including one from Lion Brand, called Ruffles, of course. My skein of Ondas should produce two scarves… by Christmas!

This year I'm not going to post a picture of our Christmas tree as it is the same as the one in last year's post about gift giving – our beloved little ceramic tree. We've decided, yet again, to maintain our new tradition of a simplified holiday with the teensy tree and our nativity. Hmmm, come to think of it, maybe that's why I have time. Works for me.

To all of you, if you celebrate the event or not, wishing you a Very Merry Christmastime.

    Well, I’m certainly intrigued. You’ll have to post pictures when you’re done. I’m a lot more relaxed since I quit trying to make the deadline. I still couldn’t decide what to do for my sister, so she’s getting a half finished sock along with a gift certificate for a “Sock of the Month” club – one sock per month, so she’ll get six pairs of socks this year. Lots more fun to stretch it out. Merry Christmas to you, C, Gracie and the rest of the family. We definitely need to plan something for the New Year!

    Since I am single, and the only member of my family who lives in this city, I have been having a simple holiday for years. Affords me time to sit back, reflect and relax. I highly recommend it.
    Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas.
