Abbreviated Blog--Much Knitting!
Since we will be having company (Grandma Janet's turn to visit) until after the New Year, I won't be updating the blog as regularly as usual. But I will be knitting away!We had a lovely Christmas. The presents abounded, Santa didn't get stuck in the chimney, and we had a tasty dinner:

Anna loved her gifts--lots of books, a doll and clothes, some wooden animals, and the big santa gift:

Her feet just barely make those pedals, so she has a bit more growing to do, but she is very, very happy.
Of course, the best gift was the box converted to a house that could be decorated:

By the evening, and her Grandma Janet's arrival, she was a little frazzled:

I have made some progress knitting. More to come on that. Let's just say that it has been nice sitting around the Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate, and knitting. My mother-in-law is helping me use up some left over pieces in the stash too!

That fuzzy novelty yarn is a boa scarf for cousin Emily. Anna will get the bright blue left overs turned into a similar yarn.
