All things Christmas are going well here. I've finished and wrapped both hats and the scarf. I cast on for one more hat...a manly sort of one for...well, for a man. Who is not my husband. But who is related to me. It's a dark foresty green. It's called a Raglan style with a ribbed brim. This is the gift I am most nervous about. My extended family doesn't really make gifts. It seems to be frowned on, in some mysterious, unspoken way. I don't know if a made gift is good here, and I don't know if he would like a hat. Guess we'll find out!
This has been a very relaxed season for us. Our gift purchases were started long ago, and there are not many to buy for. This hat I'm making is the last gift. Unless I suddenly remember someone else...
Even so, I have been unusually tired the past almost-two-weeks. My first thought was pregnancy, but the test turned up negative. So - not pregnant, not stressed. Been getting decent sleep - Seth sleeps 8 to 4, nurses, and goes back to sleep until about 5:30 or so. I don't know why I am so tired. Michael insists I see a Dr, so I'll make that appt today.
You know what? I could work all day, every day and not even do school. I am not schooling this week or next and I'm having trouble deciding what to work on. There is an endless list, of course. I just find myself waffling on projects I want to do, verses project I probably should get caught up on. For instance, should I make Sethy his Christmas stocking, or organize the linen cabinet that hurls items at me when I dare to open the door? I can't quite decide, so I sit and knit instead.
Speaking of knitting, I have recently 'discovered' Elizabeth Zimmerman. She seems to be the nearest thing to a patron saint that knitters have. She wrote several books and I want all of them of course. And then there is something called the Yarn Bowl. I'm getting one for my birthday! I just need to find a suitable storage solution for DPNS and for circular needles. Hmmm...
