Good morning!
Well, we had Christmas at my MIL's last night and it was quite an interesting time. She had great food (as usual - though not enough meatballs, they were quite the hit!) and everyone had a fun time. With hubby's brother's family there, you laugh so much you usually leave with your face hurting - no joke!
The gifts I knitted, the capelet for KEA and the wristers (for those of you who don't know, wristers are like mittens without thumb or finger coverage) for my MIL, were a hit. Thank goodness! You never know how people are going to react whether you like the stuff you make yourself or not. There are pictures of the capelet on my website and I'll be putting pictures of the wristers on there today or tomorrow. Those I made out of Cascade 220 in their purple yarn - though it has some blue in it, very neat combination. I ended up remaking her wristers about 3 times. Well, actually, I started out making cabled mittens but I messed up and knew I wouldn't have time to make new mittens so I found a wristers pattern instead. And even then I screwed up - bad knitting karma I guess. Part of the problem is that they're knitted on 2 needles instead of in the round on circulars. So I'm betting that was my real problem - in fact, I'll be rewriting the pattern so I can use circulars in the future. Esp since I want a pair!
Okay, time to go open gifts with the hubby. He's already given me an OTT-Lite (I've wanted one of those for sooooo long!!) and a great small sauce pan. The story behind the saucepan is that he's tired of the veggies being cooked in the nuker - haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! So I said, well, guess I need a small pan, eh?
Merry Christmas, everyone! Stay safe and warm this holiday weekend!
