Bind Off
Well it is almost Christmas time and we are getting ready here at my Knitting Fairy Godmother's House. We are watching A Christmas Story- can't believe that I had not seen this movie until last year?!?!

Let me know what you think of the pattern on a side note I did embroider the letters because they did not look right so small...

Merry Christmas everyone and to my Jewish friends, happy belated Hanukkah!

Christmas Coasters

Christmas knitting as a lot of people know is very stressful! You want to show people you care about them with your handmade hard work!

Last year I gave people wine for Christmas- this year I will try knitting all the gifts!

I am casting on tonight and following this pattern from Purl Soho:

I love Purl Soho next time I go to NYC I am definitely going back! If you are going to NYC you should visit them... I like presents!

Anywho I am hoping to get 8 or more done by Monday! Here's to a weekend of Christmas movies and knitting- what else is there to do when there is no more College Football?

What are you doing this weekend? Anyone casting on?
