Christmas and New Years

Well it's been an interesting past few weeks. My show Eat the Runt got shut down right before Christmas, which royaly stinks. Still it was for the best, and there is a slim chance we may move it to Vegas. (ahhhhh sun!!!). I'm fortunate to be staying on in a part-time capacity, my actors however were all out of work.

My other show closed Christmas Eve, (not much point in doing Christmas Carol after Christmas!) and the down time has been nice. I walked into my LYS firday for Yarn Geeks for the first time in 6 weeks!! I'm aslo finally haveing time to devote to Christmas Knitting (yes things will be late sorry guys)

Mom's sweater is coming along well. Had trouble attaching the sleeve at first. Kept getting loose holes. Thankfuly knittinghelp.com saved me!! My LYS was of course closed the two days I was fighting with it. Anyway it is acutally looking like a sweater, I am happy!!


For Abbey I am going to do the Entwined pattern. I made it for myself and love it!! She's always cold and goes to College in MI, so it will be nice for her. Plus it's a fast project.

I'm already thinking ahead to next year. My friend Kristin has the great idea of makeing something every month and putting it in her Christmas stash. That way she doesn't have to franticly do a bunch of projects in December. I think i'm gonna adopt that idea myself.

Well I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year. I for one will be taking cabs and trains around Chicago tonight.

Peace

Mary

I've been doing the knit-ahead thing for several years now - and don't regret it. This year I wove, and started in August. Finished everything 2 days before Christmas, but not in a rush.

I usually don't even plan. I just knit whatever I feel like knitting, and decide at Christmas time who gets what from the FO stash...
