Made it!

I did manage to finish the golf vest in time for Christmas, thank you very much!  The socks for my father-in-law took until Christmas day.  I still haven't seen him, so they are sitting on the table downstairs.  I immediately cast on for Meg's Ballet Wrap sweater in rose pink extrafine merino wool.  I finished the back yesterday and started the right front last night.  It's a worsted wool, so it's going very fast.  I was most excited to get gauge on the first try.  That doesn't happen very often.

The only knitting item I scored for Christmas was a book of borders and edges.  For such an avid knitter, people really don't consider knitting items for me, do they?  It's kind of sad.  However, I'm not going to complain.  I did get a gift card, so I can buy my own knitting stuff.

I also got a Kindle Keyboard, which I'm loving.  I downloaded my first book already, a nerdy fantasy novel I had seen in the store.  I love it.

Otherwise, Christmas was quiet.  Meg and I went to visit my mother in Aiken, SC and took her the shawl I knit for her.  I think she genuinely likes it.

Tonight I'm going to the movies with BlondKnitter and Meg and a friend of Meg's.  We're going to see the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.  I'm looking forward to popcorn for dinner.

Happy Knitting!
