And I forgot to post my OPAM finishes yesterday - and I have something to show. Here is a snuggle blanket I have crocheted for my granddaughter as part of her Christmas present. I have mostly used wool from my stash. Some is glittery and some is fluffy -- and some is ribbon. The blanket is a good size so she can cover her bed with it, too.
I try to get a little knitting or sewing done in the evenings, but most of my time is used packing and getting the house ready for the sale. I still have 2 windows left to paint, but it has been so cold (days of -5 to -10) I decided to wait for a thaw. The paint would freeze before drying! Even the dogs prefer to curl up indoors.
Everything must be ready in 17 days - that's when we move to our new house. Panic!!!!
I do still read your blogs with my breakfast coffee- I just don't get round to commenting so much at the moment. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season.
How exciting Anne-Lise, I moved once at Christmas, so I know what it's like :o
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes smoothly and you get to have a well-deserved rest over the holidays, with lots of spoiling from the family !
oh my is it really that cold there now????
ReplyDeleteIt rained here and up on the hills around us they got alittle snow fall--an inch or so!!! we are suppose to get colder for the next couple days here--oh well it is December, Di!!!!
Love the blanket and the hat and wrist warmers--you did a great job on them--
remember to take care of yourself and to get some rest so you don't get sick with this moving stuff going on!!
Hugs, Di and Miss Gracie

Flott teppe og luen og pulsvarmerne var kjempefine. Kan trenge slike ting i disse kalde vinterdagene. Ha en fin advent.
ReplyDeleteHand knit gifts are just the best and these gifts look snuggly and warm as they are pretty. Only 17 days! OMG!

I like the blanket but I really like the hat. Big Sister made me one a few years ago,which I use every winter,I like the style of yours. Take care during all the moving . Little Sister.
