A third cowl. Yep. This was a „cowly Christmas“ – at least in my house. And guess what! The presentees were perfectly happy.
J is modelling again (in his toy story pyjamas … please ignore that :)). I like to add that the beautiful „90% llama 10% glamour“ yarn is pure fun to work with and available at Jessica’s little online store. I used less than two balls for Teresa’s cowl.
And here is the cowl I wanted my sister to have. I may redo it though with different yarn. Even though the color is beautiful the quality is not at all what I wanted it to be. It seems to wear out way too fast.
Again, there is J modelling:
Feels like I didn’t blog in weeks (which is probably true). Instead, I have been knitting like crazy to get ready for Christmas. And – despite force of habit – about every other time I would even forget to take pictures before wrapping and making knitted things a present.
Well, here’s a cowl though, that I knitted for Anouk (9). It’s another „Before & After“ with J modelling:
Working on weird stuff, getting Christmas presents done, no time to actually blog.
How about you? Still „on time“? Only 14 days left …
In Germany St. Nicholas Day is a big thing: Children put out a (well polished) shoe outside their home on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, hoping to find candy or a small gift or both in it the very next morning.
Today is St. Nicholas Day. And of course this year, as every year, we were St. Nicholas was well prepared to fill J’s sneaker.
Now try to imagine how M and I felt when we found wrapped little gifts in our (!) shoes too! Here’s what I had:
I guess that answers the question I have been asking myself whether J still believes in Santa Claus and the like … Kind of sad, I know – he’s growing up waaaaay too fast – but you should have seen him this morning, beaming with delight that he had been able to surprise us.
To quote Martin Luther: – „It is more blessed to give than to receive.“ 🙂
A wonderful St. Nicholas Day to all of you out there!
