A new day, a new post :)

I thought I'd share a link to some amazing Christmas lights. Someone with too much time on their hands. Or hired help to do it. Pretty just the same.

Got an email from my friend who lives in Fredericton. She's coming home for Christmas :) Asked her for some gift suggestions. She said "Mittens, because gloves just don't cut it up here". I had found a pair of thrummed mittens I had started, so they are being finished off for her. One is done, and I just put the stitches on a holder for the thumb on the second one. :)

Was knitting my mom a sweater for Christmas. Think I'm going to scratch that plan, and finish off a shawl/shrug thing I was working on for her instead. It'll get finished much quicker. And keep her shoulders warm. No word yet on when she goes for her surgery.

I knit a fish last night. Found the pattern on Ravelry last night. Quite cute. Think I'm going to knit two the same, sew them together with catnip inside.

Went to Barrington with my hubby this morning. Fell in love with some yarn there. What was it called?? Wait, let me look at my phone - took a picture of it :) Mode Dea in the cherry cola colorway. $8.50/ball They also had the stretch sock yarn; $5.99/ball.

Now I'm off to do housework - isn't that exciting? Might get hubby to bring up the Christmas decorations tonight. Maybe.

Have a good one!
