Supporting a good deed…
One of my son’s primary school teachers spends her Christmas day each year putting on a Christmas spread for ex soldiers who would normally spend Christmas alone. She asks for gifts.

A couple of beanies nearly completed. I feel the excitement of pom pom fun on the horizon π
They will be packed along with toiletries and chocs.
How is everyone’s Christmas knitting coming along? π π π yo ho ho!
Woolly wishes,
Jane β‘β‘β‘

I have to be really careful with it. I try to keep the ball of yarn kind of hidden between me and the side of the chair, but believe me, heβs interested!

Right now I am using my yarn for a Bargello needlepoint project. Don’t know if it will be done in time for Christmas, but it’s fun to work on. Lovely cable work.

I’m wondering why I decided to take on so much this year but the hats for the soldiers are my priority. If family get their bits and pieces a bit late it spreads out the festivities πππ

I agree with your priorities. Both of my siblings live in Asia, so Christmas happens whenever we can be together. I still have my sister’s gift from last year. She was planning on visiting in January but COVID was ramping up over there.

I finished in January. π . I have Christmas knitting and back to back birthdays in December and January. To be fair I wasn’t going to see the people I was knitting presents for until after Christmas anyway.
