I am making slow progress on the latest bucket hat.  With Christmas preparations and a maniacal puppy in the house, there has been very little in the way of knitting. 

Oh well, it will get done when it gets done – isn’t that what Margene would say?

I am looking forward to the week between Christmas and New Year’s.  I have high hopes for endless hours of sitting around catching up on Netflix movies and knitting.  There will be plenty of leftovers in the fridge – so cooking duties will be light.  There will be plenty of wine in the rack, so my troubles will be few!  If mother nature could throw in a cozy snowstorm or two that would be the icing on my gingerbread!

Once the hat is done, I will have to decide on the next project ….. I have the makings of a fabulous poncho, I would like to give Clapotis a whirl, I have had the pattern for the Fiber Trends felted slippers for a long time now … I could go on and on!  As is usually the case, my list of projects I would like to knit is much longer than the list of projects I have the time/energy/skill/money to accomplish!

I am hosting Christmas Eve dinner this year.  Any recipe that can be made ahead of time will be.  My brother and his wife will also be arriving today to spend the holidays with us. 

Things will be speeding up here at Chez Swine — let those reindeer games begin!

ps.  why didn’t I think to put one of these on my Christmas list??
