Snowmen
Christmas is almost here and I just had to do some season related knitting other than socks, scarves or mittens. So I proudly introduce my new growing family of snowmen.
My collection of Palette yarn is big (no I don't own EVERY color but it is close) This for me is the perfect snowmen knitting yarn. I like to knit them on size 0 needles so the stuffing does not show through.
And look what my Secret Santa gave me today, now have a close look at the label.
Yeah................................

List
I made sure Santa checked his list twice this past Saturday. You never know if he forgets that one certain family member in our household (cough, cough).
It has happened before that he forgot somebody, not naming any names here.
I do remember that twice (yes, people you are reading it right) Santa or in this case his Dutch version "Sinterklaas" forgot to put a present in his bag.
The first time Sinterklaas forgot to bring the present for "she-who's-name-we-are-not-mentioning" at his home in Spain. Everybody in her family was excited about their presents and nibbling on their Chocolate letters, while she sat there and looked around.
The following year while distributing little notes with names on them, so Sinterklaas' helpers could find presents for the person on their notes, "she-who's-name-we-are-not-mentioning" was not included in the notes. And again she did not receive a present.
This was the last year Sinterklaas was celebrated and she moved on to Santa Claus who arrives on a sleigh pulled by reindeer through the sky. Much more believable that a guy who arrives by boat and rides his horse over the rooftops.
This year she knows she is getting something from Santa, his helper just by mistake send the e-mail conformation on her present to her mail address.

Bio hazard
Back in August (where did the time go??) DS requested a hat with the bio hazard sign after a visit to the Doctors office.
And what is a mom to do?? Knit one of course, first chart out the sign, than cast on to double knit the hat.
Now he has two hats in one, yellow and black, and it is a very warm hat with the double layers. That warm that after he tried it on DH wants one too. (Yeah......)
On another note, my weekend was all spend in the Christmas spirit. On Saturday morning there was breakfast with Santa at our school. And I was the photography elf.
Talk about a busy day. This elf was pooped after that.
