December already?

Where did the year go? 

It's been a slow week as I've had a cold (and migraines), but feeling better now, apart from bouts of coughing.

Managed to get the grass mowed yesterday...


And we are finally getting a reprieve from the horribly strong winds we've had for weeks...   

The garden and especially the roses have taken a battering...


But with the calmer weather we have been getting some lovely sunsets...


I did get Hazel's Christmas blanket finished...

And it got the tick of approval from these four...


I undid the vest I was knitting.  I was using the recommended needle size (4mm), but I decided I wanted a softer more open weave knit...


So I'm now using 5mm needles and am happy with the softer, looser knit...

I read somewhere that as the Gospel of Luke has 24 chapters, if you start the 1st December and read 1 chapter a day, you will be finished for Christmas!  

I'm going to do it.  

Anyone want to join me?

Have a blessed week my friends!

  1. That vest must have been bugging you for a while, for you to undo that much. But when you know you've done the right thing, you know it!

    1. Yes, I kept thinking it would be ok, but the more I knitted, the more I decided I wasn't happy with it. So there was only one thing to do ... :)

    1. Feeling better now and getting on with things. But I think the vest might need to be put on hold till after Christmas. So far I'm keeping up with the St Lukes readings :)
