Not a sock



No. it's not a sock, or a blanket
or a pillow.
but this is a little sample of what
i have been knitting this autumn.


what nice socks they are


Hope that you're
having a nice "end of the year"
Here, i'm offering another
look at my marvellous knit-sock-
keychains. (they're already in use)

the days are getting a little
longer ... bit by bit.

holiday recipe




nap time is delicious

when you can share it

with some of your favourite

soft fuzzy toys.
mmmm.
a Blanket or two wouldn't hurt either.
Music is optional.

Enjoy.

Wishing you a happy week.

He will get back to

new bedding and sleeping dog


a big package has been delivered.
it's some lovely new bedding.
Oh and look,

there is a Knitting Companion
in the Background.
He's relaxing.

that's more like it

Perhaps you may recall
that i was suffering
from a very unfortunate
hair cut this fall.

You will be
thrilled and relieved
to learn that
i now have found "the"
hair stylist for me.
he is funny and witty
and makes me laugh.
Most of all: he understands
how to manage
my hair.

I no longer look like i have
a loaf of bread on my head.

I have no lingering symptoms
of "looking like a dog".
(no offence to dogs everywhere)

that last observation was my mom's
statement.

She thought the previous
hair stylist made me look
like "a dog". She meant
it in a positive, sweet and
helpful way. Trust me,
when i tell you that
i didn't feel happy with that
sort of fashion statement
happening.

festive foods





at the home of Knitting
Companion, someone
has been
busy with Christmas festivities.
Mmmmmmm
These creations are
called popovers, baked
in a special Popover pan.
I've never had a popover before but
i now highly recommend them.
they're a bit similar to a
Yorkshire pudding.
A bit . . . . .



even coffee cups look festive



The Knitting Companion and i are sharing
this week with Family.
We wish you
Merry Christmas.
