21 20...16 days 'til Christmas!


Goodness, where have the days gone? To tree-trimming and gift-wrapping, errand-running and story-reading, laundry-washing and pageant-rehearsing...

And it rained! So, after a cold, wet couple of days, we decided to head to the park this afternoon and enjoy the sunshine -- unfortunately it looked warmer than it really was, and we didn't stay for long! But I got to try out my new camera lens (Nikkor 55-200mm)... I just wish I knew what I was doing!

22 Days to Christmas: Knitted gifts


One down, half a dozen to go... I'm trying (rather unsuccessfully) not to be too ambitious with my knitting this Christmas. I'm using a few patterns from One Skein, and a couple more freebies off Ravelry. One cabled scarf took me three weeks of intermittent knitting! I'm only making things for immediate family -- we'll see how far I get!

What handmade gifts are you giving this year?
