I'm popping in for a quick post to share some knitting and baking inspiration and to wish you happy holidays! I've got two obsessions on the needles right now, the new Yule Do, above from Isabel Kraemer. I love the Christmas trees, dreidels and swags of garland and as soon as I saw it I had to drop everything and cast on. When the colorwork yoke was over, I was actually having fun and not quite ready to be done with colorwork, so felt compelled to cast on for another stranded design below, Sunset Highway by Caitlin Hunter. I've owned this pattern for a few years and always wanted to make it. I even had the perfect yarn in my stash. 

Good morning! Last week, when I began to decorate our house for Christmas, I decided to check out what I did last year. I looked at this blog post and decided I loved it and did my best to recreate it. Have you ever done that? It sure makes decisions easy, especially when you decorate every room in the house. This year I bought a few new decor items, and anything that I left behind in the boxes I decided to donate. My motto for Christmas this year and moving forward is: If I don't use it, pass it on. On that note, I'm dropping off a big bag of Christmas crafts to Carter's classroom today. His teacher loves me!
