Kiss My Knits!

FO: Holly Jolly legwarmers.
Needles: Size 3 for ribbing, size 4 for body.
Pattern: Cast on 30. Do some ribbing then some stockinette then some ribbing. Cast off.

Notes: This is another pair of legwarmers for supersweet ‘s little girl. They arrived yesterday, just in the nick of time. I kept out one bit of green from the skein in case I had to patch my daughter’s heels, but aside from that, this used up all the rest of my Holly Jolly yarn. These are a little bit shorter than I’d like, but they really used ALL the yarn, so I can live with it.

I hope and her family and all of you and all of your families have very happy holidays. This won’t be my last post before Christmas, but it’s always a good time to wish you wonderful people well.

Me: “You know what I didn’t hear after you got that M&M?”
Em: “No, what?”
Me, whispering: “Thank you.”
Em, whispering: “You’re welcome.”

My mother-in-law went to Germany and brought back sock yarn for me. How thoughtful! I knitted some up in the car on the way home, and was delighted to find that I had not dropped or gained any stitches, even though I was knitting in the dark. Unfortunately, it’s a bit loose on size 1 needles, so I’ll have to drop to 0s. Besides, I need my lone size 1 for another project that’s ongoing.

It’ll be at least Spring before I have time to tackle this yarn, but I’m touched by my mother-in-law’s thoughtfulness.
