All hail the queen! NOT. Today was spent in my studio stitching in double time. I thought I would be farther along with my gift making but alas here it is a week before Christmas and I am frantically stitching away. Please tell me I am not alone....please don't tell me that you had your gifts done and wrapped before Thanksgiving, don't tell me your cards are mailed and your cookies are baked. That would just be cruel.
One of the gifts I am determined to finish tonight is a scarf made with this really fascinating yarn I found at the last quilt show I went to. Have you seen this yarn? Have you tried knitting with it yet? I am knitting with 7 stitches cast on and as you knit it kind of twirls itself around and makes a unique accent scarf.

| this is the scarf, so far |
I must say it was a challenge to cast on, and will probably be just as much of a challenge to cast off. Guess I'll find out later. Next up is to finish an apron....

Speaking of tomorrow - (Saturday) it's the last day to enter my giveaway. Scroll down to the last post for entry info.
It's super easy, and I am loving all the delightful comments you are all posting about Christmas.
I so miss my family up north. I guess the only thing I don't like about Christmas is not being with them. (don't mind me, just a small pity party in progress. If you're missing your family you're welcome to join in )
Well... off to knit and hug my darling DH
