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 😉
They will be packed along with toiletries and chocs.
How is everyone’s Christmas knitting coming along? 🎅🎅🎅 yo ho ho!
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡

How fun! I started a real simple crochet afghan for my front room, but haven’t gotten too far yet. 😋

Sounds lovely and I am sure it will come along quickly. How is Foster with yarn? 🤔

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, he’s 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.

No handknit gifties this year. This is such a terrific outreach.

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 🎄🎄🎄

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.

Thank you. I have made so many of this style hat over the years but once you find something that works it is good to stick with it 😉

I finished in January. 😅. 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.
