Time to Relax, Enjoy...and have a very Knitty Christmas!

  So yes, yes YES! ...It's all done, all Christmas Knits completed, and well before my deadline of 22nd of December to avoid knitting til the last minute (Looked a bit like a Horror movie for a while there, lots of this kind of thing...) But now the lovely feeling of knowing they're all ready and will bring happiness on the day, every stitch knitted with love... And then of course I had to give myself the reward of a cozy knit on my cozy neighborhood pullover by Joji locatelli that's been pushed aside for Christmas knits... Also speaking, the light at the end of the Christmas knitting tunnel is that, rather late to the party, I have put together four kits for myself, which include a shawl pattern, required yarn, coordinating project bag and stitch markers. They are all Joji Shawls, 3 Color Cashmere shawl, Jodi, Party on my needles, and Pure Joy... So I will be having myself a very Joji Christmas indeed... Jodi by Joji Locatelli

Bevel Scarf for my husband Oak Park Scarf for my Husband Old Town Shawl for my daughter Come What May Shawl for my daughter A Pumpkin Spice cup cozy for my daughter 💖💪😎🙋 Then, well, as you do, why not, there's still time, I could do more, maybe I can just slip in a further... Yep, all those things... and so I then added to my clear deadline knit shelf ... Simple House slippers for my father Manhattan Cardigan for my husband, which is currently still blocking, phew finished today just in time!! And I may have just happened to fall for a few stuffies and mitts for my daughter along the way of cruising high speed without a seat belt through Ravelry search pages a
