'Twas The Night Before Christmas

We are home from Kansas and preparing for several Christmases.
You recognize the Yarn Barn of Kansas from my previous posts.  Of course, I had to make a visit (just like a gambler needs to go to a casino or an alcoholic needs to go to a bar.  We all have our addictions.)  Believe it or not, I really didn't buy much.  Just Knitter's Pride size 3 double pointed needles and three beautiful skeins of yummy Yarn Barn yarn.

Aren't they gorgeous?  I have no idea what I'll make with them.  I just know I experienced a a Yarn Crush and had to buy them.  It really is my least expensive Yarn Barn visit ever.  I will miss the fabulous day after Christmas Yarn Barn sale for the second year in a row.  (Dick and I may need to rethink having Christmas in Kansas the weekend before rather that Christmas day.)  I can see the beautiful lovelies in one of the scarfs I made for my bridge ladies.  

Donn and Andi loved their Gail Palpant painting of Donn's garden, The Glorious Garden.  Andi and Erin loved their scarfs.  I almost finished Hazel's Stocking Cap while in Lawrence.  All in all it was a great time.

We had Christmas with Linda yesterday.  She loved her Knit Swirl, but I did learn something important.  You should never announce gifts on your blog before the actual event.  Linda tried to act surprised, but I could tell she wasn't.  Well, at least I learned that she really reads the blog.  It fit perfect and looks great on her.  I am three for three in the treasures department.  (Really, four for four but that is a separate blog.

The book version of "Knitting: A Love Story" is hot off the press.  (Well, at least one copy for my mother.)  It looks great and she loves it.  Now she can match the story with the Free Press article.  

It is amazing that it is Christmas Eve and I'm not pulling an all nighter to finish gifts.  Been there; done that, and don't want to do it again.  Tomorrow Barb and her son Greg are coming for Christmas brunch and gifts.  Barb's knitted treasure is spectacular and I can't wait to blog about it.  I changed a fabulous pattern and made it even better.  That is for the next post.  In the mean time "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. . . "
