Christmas tree decorating!

Hello Everyone!

Tonight I decorated the Christmas tree with my family. It was so fun to hang up all the ornaments that have become a tradition to hang in our family. My mom absolutely adores christmas ornaments, she has a huge collection. The tree is literally packed with ornaments, I don't think there is space for anymore. I bought her the new Starbucks ornament this year.

how it looks :)

I knitted more of the scarf for my friend, I'll post it after I give it to her so it's a surprise! can't wait!

I also started the mittens again because the first one turned out.... well not as I had envisioned :P

Have a great night!

***28 Days until christmas!** what are you asking Santa for this year?

huge mitten thumb and other events

Hey all,

How is everyone doing? It was a really cold day today here in the Toronto area. I was outside freezing with the kids and really needed mittens that close at the top! (I'm wearing open finger mittens at work- silly me)

I knitted my first mitten and the thumb turned out to be HUGE! It is my very first attempt. A word of advise for all you beginner knitters out there(like me), make sure when watching a video on how to knit something you count how many stitches the person did. My thumb was about 20 stitches longer than the woman in the videos. (lol)

In other news, my photo finally appeared on the Blacksheep and Ewe website!! I kept checking back and I had gone in October. I'm glad they posted it. This was from a craft fair I went to and they loved that I had used one of their scarf kits from the year before so they took my photo for their website :)

Me and my "Amelia" scarf :)

I'll post again soon!

This is the start of the first mitten! I am so happy I finally got it started :)
