Christmas Socks

Here are the results of my enthusiastic resolve to make socks for

all the men in my life

Less, of course, the four pair I gave away for birthday presents,

and the two pair that I mailed the other day before I remembered to take a picture.

So I am one pair short of my planned thirteen, and I might catch up after Christmas

and I might not!!!!

Perhaps I will make toques, or scarves for next year,

or perhaps I will indulge myself and take on a challenging project

that will hold my interest and my attention.  I have a wonderful pattern for a complicated blanket

that you can make in various sizes that really appeals to me....

Handknit Socks are so lovely on the feet, but they do get to be a bit much of the same thing

all the time! When you are making them......

Tomorrow I am going to make shortbread tarts to go

with the Lemon Curd that was today's loving project in the kitchen.

Ah Christmas - what happy memories you evoke, and what opportunities

to do the things that delight one!
