Christmas is almost here. Eeeeek! At least I don’t plan to skip it this year. Hahaha.
The family went to Lake Placid again. Love that place. We got the same cottage as last year… Cause it’s awesome!
We stopped at the Starbucks like we always do.
I hit the yarn shop obviously! Got me some Brown Sheep Burly Spun to knit my friend this cowl.
I actually had enough yarn in one skein to make two. Sweet!
Unfortunately, that was the only thing I managed to knit. My wrist and arm have been killing me since I crocheted that green cowl. I need to find a better way to hold my crochet hook. BUT, when you see this, it makes it worth it.
Then, when I gave her the cowl from Lake Placid, she put it on and wore it for the next two days. I LOVE it when you make things and people appreciate them. Feels awesome.
So… Lake Placid. Because Steve had never been, we spent the day on Saturday exploring the village. It was really fun. We went into the Olympic rink and a bunch of shops, all of which I had never been to.
I tried to make friends with this guy in an antique shop but he was kind of snobby.
Now it’s back to work and back to the routine. It will be a quiet Christmas for me this year. I’m actually off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for the first time in 7 years… Yikes!
Oh! And I’m very excited to report that I’ve sold six copies of my pattern. Youpi!!! I’m not going to become a rich and famous knitwear designer but it’s very exciting for me.
Hope you’re all having a fantastic day!
