A Tree, A Hat, A Stocking
We got a lot done today, but I still have so much to do. First thing this morning, we decorated the tree. Witness Julie with her messy hair - on weekends I let her slide without fixing it if we're not going anywhere - and her purple tutu dress, which she wears pretty much constantly around the house these days.
Joe has never been a huge tree-decorating enthusiast, so he corralled Sophie while Julie and I had fun with the tree.
That hat that I started on Thursday? DONE! I'm very pleased with how this little project turned out, especially considering that it took only a few days to whip up, and I used up some yarn from my stash. I used Cascade 220 wool on size 5 needles. All but the light and dark gray were colors I dyed myself with Kool-Aid. The pattern is my own (not written up, though) with help from a stitch pattern out of one of my many books. This one is all for me, to match my glittens from the same yarn.
Oh, and as if that weren't enough, Sophie's stocking is finished and hung by the knitting books with care:

Great looking hat! I love the little people, it is little people on it right? Re the tree: just 'cause you're a heathen doesn't mean that you don't provide traditions for your children, please don't feel that you need to justify your decisions to your blog readers. Some of my most miserable memories are from the years my father decided not to celebrate Christmas - very long story.
awww she is just too adorable in that little purple tutu dress.....and the stockings look great!!
You had a busy weekend!! The stockings are great. I love the hat!!
My neice would spend her entire life in her dress up clothing if she could!! It think it is cute! I started reading from the beginning of you archives this weekend.... I am SO jealous of you living near that Archivers store!! I had never heard of them until you mentioned, since I live in Maryland! I love scrapbooking, mostly like you... to be able to look at my photos easily, and write down stuff so it does not get forgotten. I cannot fathom some of the really complicated pages. They might be fun for a photo frame for a gift, but other than that, no way!
