Stick a fork in 'er, folks, cause this baby is done.
I finished knitting the collar on Christmas day, after all of the festivities were complete and we had a moment to sit down. I blocked the sweater out that night, but the weather immediately turned muggy and gross, so it took two entire days for it to dry out enough for it to get all the way dry. I like it, although I wish that I had ripped the sleeves back even more than I already did. It seems that they were made for a damn gorilla or something. I've got them turned up in the picture, and they are STILL a bit too long. Oh, well, live and learn. Twist is heading up to the office to be my emergency freezing my ass off sweater. They like the jam down the A/C (or skimp on the heat, depending on the season) so I require something to keep me from turning into a Leigha-sicle.
Christmas was nice and uneventful; the kids were spoiled, as you would expect the only two grandkids on both sides of the family to be. My husband gifted me with some jewelry that I love very much, and a new point and shoot camera (the Canon PowerShot D880 IS). I absolutely love the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, and it is my main camera, but I wanted something to put in my purse for out and about shots. The DSLR is not exactly light and easy to throw in your cute little purse for trips. So we found that Best Buy was having a sale on it, and combine that with some duplicate presents we had to return there anyway, and I walked out of there complete with camera, SD card and an adorable little case:
All of which makes me a happy girl.I hope you enjoyed your holidays as much as I did; have a save and happy New Year, too, while you're at it.
