Jasmin came by with piles of tamales from Nana for the knitters!  Such a happy day!

And Kate is getting the Covid Vaccine this evening!  Such a happier day!

Dropped presents off at Brian's house, Chloe helped carry them inside - 2 for 1!  The happiest day!

December 6 Report

 So Sunday was a relatively mellow day.  Spent most of it cleaning upstairs in anticipation of the guy coming to clean out the ducts.  Was able to knit a little, but I seemed to keep dropping stitches.  So I have set the wrap down and will rip back and start the color over from the other end of the ball.  The end I am working on is getting a little worn, and I think that is contributing to the dropped stitches.

Dec. 6 Yarn is a lovely blue grey with splotches of rust - sooooo pretty

Dec 5 Report

 Best day in December!  We drove to Monarch Crest and met Kate and Tyler and Clark.  We had a car ful of birthday presents, christmas presents and decorations.  We loaded them up!  I was so very, very, very happy to see Kate.  

And Day 5 Yarn . . . 

a lovely dusty rose/apricot . . . the yarns are just wonderful.

 I am so loving this wrap and the yarn - soft, but not too smooshy - and the colors are so perfect for me.  And the order in which they are being revealed . . . I am very happy with it all.

I ran errands all over town, and wrapped presents to take to Kate.  Basically a lovely day!

 I forgot to post yesterday's yarn . . . and things are going well.

 Finished the first repeat of my Advent wrap!  It took 3 tries, but it got done!

And here is the next one

Today was the beginning of my Advent Yarn Calendar from Lanivendole in Italy.  I ordered this back in October and I have been so excited to get going.  I opened the package to a cute little greeting card with a mitten stitch marker attached.

I chose to use the ADVENTuresome Wrap pattern from Ambah O'Brien.  It was her advent pattern from 2019.

Since the pattern requires a Main Color used from start to finish, I opened the Dec. 25 package from Lanivendole.  It is a 50g/225m skein.  It is a lovely olive green.

And since it was Dec 1 - I opened the Dec 1 package - a rusty berry color called Barbera.  The package also included a sweet little handmade gingerbread man stitch marker.  This skein was 20g 90m.
