My Father Knits Wonderful Things

So, in my sp9 questionier I had mentioned that I wanted to learn to knit socks. Now my sp9 has made that a dream come true:

I am now fully stocked with everything I need to knit socks!!! Yippie! I now have the 'Sensational knitted socks' book, koigu sock yarn (in some awesome colors btw), two addi turbos, bamboo dpns, a yarn cutter, my very own 'sheepie' (lets call him george), and just for fun a candle, shower gel, the best chocolate ever, a beautiful hand made card, and stickers!

Thank You Secret Pal!!!!

So now that I am almost done with the Christmas knitting, I will soon be wandering my way thru sock world! I can't wait!! :D

Christmas was good this year! Christmas is always a bit more meaningful for me when I am pregnant. I guess it's just being that much closer to what mary was feeling; and the hormones help too! ;) [BTW: if you haven't heard yet, It's a Boy!!! more pics to come soon]

I was able to spend time with loved ones that I hadn't seen in a while, and my hubbie surprised me with this:

A handmade basket FULL of roving!!!!

Plus, the kids loved the polar bears that I had knit them:

N was quick to name them 'pinkie' and 'toe'!!! He is so creative!!!

Also, I was truly spoilled with a sock-tastic box from my sp9!!! more pics tomorrow I hope. Thank You again pal! You Rock!

It was a good Christmas indeed! I will blog more soon, but now I have a birthday boy to attend to [26 spankin's, yippie!!! ;D]!!

...and so very little time. Some loved ones may be getting New Year's gifts instead of Christmas ones. oh well.

Hope you all have a blessed Christmas! :)

...So little time!!! :(
