um..yeah...I've been busy

School and stuff and trying to get the house ready to get out the christmas decorations. I kind of have to re-arrange things around here because I have a 10 foot tree. I'll be sure to take photos of it so that everyone can see. It's usually georgous, though it's taking me time to get enough ornaments to fill it up, so sometimes it looks a bit bare. I had another idea also. I'm going to put a santa suit on my dress form. *grin* I think it will be pretty cute. Since I collect santas it will fit right in.

Here's a shot of my santa collection that I took last year.



They sit on a piece of fake snow fabric on my grandmother's antique buffet and I weave in Christmas lights around them. Actually..you can't see all of the santas in the photo..last year some spilled over into the entertainment center area and there's a couple of big ones on the floor. And I have a santa punch bowl and cups that sits in the dining room.

I'm a big collector...I've also started a snowman collection too. (no photos of it yet..maybe I'll take some this year)

So..with the Noro yarn...I've made one fingerless glove and started the second one and I'll probably make a hat or something with the rest.

From the purple aran yarn I started a top down raglan in the round ala glampyre. The only thing I'm worried about with this one is getting it to fit over my ample chest. Maybe some short rows are in order, but I'll have to ask some of the other knitting goddesses what I should do first.

Any ideas knitting goddesses??
