Lois and I met for some knitting…Ethel was sick….the other knitters, don’t know…Grayzie and Pauly were here acting up.
The cats under the tree
Fair Isle was the mode of the moment, for both Lois and me.
Lois’ Fair Isle hat
Lois found some awesome patterns here:
Leisure Arts booklet
I’ve been working on this Fair Isle hat for a while, and it’s slow going with such a small needle and gauge of yarn.
Skull Isle hat
It’s one of the many savory projects in this pattern book:
Debbie Stoller’s Son of Stitch ‘N Bitch
Here are a few other cool holiday things that someone else made:
Pink camellias blooming
Ray’s Christmas Lights Globe
Our friend Ray made this holiday light fixture by burning holes in clear plastic cups with a soldering iron, thus joining them together, and threading lights through the holes. It can be set to blink, fade out, or stay lit, with reflections flickering on the shiny clear plastic surfaces.
Gran’s beaded, sequinned trees
These Christmas tree decorations are simply pieces of felt with many beads and sequins hand-sewn on. Made by my grandmother, probably in the 1960’s.
Meyer lemons from Rita’s tree
These lemons from Rita’s tree make me smile. They’re big, beautiful, they smell fresh, and they were a gift. For a look at The Gift, a Christmas video, click here. And hope you have a happy week!
Crafting Photolog 
That video gives me the warm fuzzies. Tis’ the season to be crafting. I had my cubs make a snow globes on Tuesday plus make gift bags of goodies for each of their family members. Zak said making the gift bags was more fun than the globes. He is a neat kid.
