I know such a long time between posts. But we are moving towards my favourite time of year.
I have made Christmas cake and mince meat and more importantly, I am knitting again!! Though I think I have taken on more than is humanly possible. I have promised Christmas sweaters, not one but three. I am using a drops pattern 122-43 ,I just love the reindeer and as the drops Nepal is a bargain at £1.50 a ball I am using it. I have to say I am really impressed. It is warm and cosy with great stitch definition. It is also knitting up really quickly so unless I lose momentum I might actually make it.
It seems to be going further than the pattern indicated so maybe I will have time for the odd Xmas hat. So for those of you infused with the Christmas spirit, happy knitting!
