Advent knitting
About a month ago I proposed that I was going to knit ALL my Christmas presents this year. After Ron had stopped GUFFAWING I conceded he was probably right and it wasn't such a good idea and went back to knitting patternless-stockinette-scarves-in-extravagant wools.
So now, 19 days before Christmas, about a week before any parcels would have to be sent off to Australia, I've decided to change my mind and reverse my uncommon flirtation with common-sense. This rapid turn around was inspired by my stumbling across a couple of patterns that had the-names-of-certain-close-relatives written all over them. (I can practically hear all those Australian knees trembling from here) Or maybe it was just because giving myself six weeks would have been too easy. Now that it almost impossible to achieve, I feel much more comfortable. At home. Its got that cosy familiar I've-been-here-before feeling to it. And of course it will be just what everyone in Australia is looking forward to, something-warm-and-woolly on Christmas Day when it is 30+ degrees. But maybe I have a far more sophisticated plan? Mobile phone covers anyone?
And just when I'm wavering the new Knitty comes out! So thats what I'll be doing for the next 19 days. Knitting.
