It's a lovely Christmas we're having this spring...

This is the first Christmas Jack doesn't have a finished sweater.  Considering it's currently 67º, I don't think he minds so much.  It's mostly done, just needs half a sleeve.  He'll have it next week, when it will actually be cold enough to wear it.

I'm choosing to blame the weather for my lack of knitting this season.  It's quite difficult to get into the spirit when it's this warm and humid and there hasn't been a single flake of snow yet.

I did finish the Noro Topper I was working on for my client/friend.




I gave it a nice warm soak and laid it on the mat to dry.

That took a fair bit longer to accomplish due to the weather, but it managed to dry just enough to get boxed and wrapped and picked up by the elves for delivery.

Made with Noro Silk Garden in color #211 Turquoise Fuchsia.  This was not the yarn called for so the pattern demanded some revisions, but it came out as expected and should hopefully fit quite nicely.

This brings the total Christmas knits to an appalling THREE.  That's all.  Just three.  Two pairs of socks and this poncho.

It's Christmas Eve, and this is the first one in years that I won't be crying into my wine and knitting at the dinner table.  The yarn will work itself into a finished project at it's own leisure this year.

Sweaters will come when they are needed, socks will be ready in due time, and everything else will fall into place.

For now, I'm off to lay under my Christmas tree and not worry about due dates.

Happy Solstice.
