We'll do a read/knit along on Ravelry! let me know what you think!

back to knitting

so, i'm still working on various projects for christmas. i'm starting to feel a bit like i'll never get them done. two pairs of socks are moving along slowly but surely. i haven't figured out what to make for a 14 year old boy. maybe i'll do a hat. maybe. and i also haven't figured out what i have time to do that i can get done by Christmas for Jeremy. hmmmmmm.

BUT i have big plans for next year when i want to knit new christmas stockings for everyone. Brenden wants one with a bear, stephen wants one with santa in his sleigh, amanda will love whatever, as will jeremy. maybe if start on dec. 26 i'll get them all done by next christmas.

shrug done!

and it is beautiful. too bad i am fat. i am going on a diet. now. totally. i was looking at pictures from 2004 and am horrifed at how much fatter i look.
