life with a chronic disease and a really big yarn stash
FO Friday: The Day After Christmas
It’s the day after Christmas! I know that it is Boxing Day, but in my house it is “Recover From Knitting Day”. It came right down to the wire (again), but I got all of the gifts done on time and into the mail or under the tree. The most fun for me is getting the feedback from recipients after my little knitted gifts arrive at their new destination. So, from the yarn stash to the Christmas Tree, here are the knitted items of 2014.
For my cat loving cousin I made a black and white kitty,Here he is in his new home on Christmas morning. Happy landings little guy!I was knitting lace mitts like crazy as we got closer to the big day…and here are the same mitts this morning on their new owner’s hands. 🙂The mitts that I made for my sister arrived in time for Christmas…and the socks for my daughter-in-law got done early Christmas Eve a couple of hours before I handed over the wrapped package
Ta-daa! Christmas gift success.
OK, there were some things that I planned and bought stuff for but didn’t make, but I have a head start for next year. Right?
I weave, knit and read in Aurora, Colorado where my garden lives. I have 2 sons, a knitting daughter-in-law, a grandson and two exceptionally spoiled kittens. In 2014 I was diagnosed with a serious rare autoimmune disease called systemic sclerosis along with Sjogren's Disease and fibromyalgia.

My mother in law knitted kitties for me the first year I was part of their family. 13 years later and I still treasure those kitties. They make the best gifts, I bet your cousin will love hers for years as well. =^.^=
