Look what I got in the mail today \ud83d\ude42

\nKaty<\/a> sent this to me as a prize in a competition she had a while back. I love sock yarn!! It is so hard to get in Australia, we can get a few varieties of Opal and some Patonyle, which is the local equivalent of Kroy, I think. I love trying out all the varieties available in the US \ud83d\ude42
\nAnd on the weekend, I found this –

\nI had it on my Amazon wishlist, but they insisted that it was out of stock. Who’d have known that I could find in locally? At this time of year, some of the shopping centres set up stalls in the middle of the centre and sell calendars. Usually I get a Polar Bear calendar, but Em spotted this, and grabbed it up for me. It was the only one left. $22.95 locally, but that was fine by me. DH has now asked me to knit a pattern every day. Sure.
\nI finally realised today that Christmas is less than 6 weeks away. Shit. I have done hardly any shopping, let alone knitting, and we are supposed to be leaving for a holiday we can’t afford in 5 weeks, 1 day and 8 hours. Dancing concerts, presentations, rehearsals and photos are taking up a great deal of the next two weeks, the car needs to be serviced, our cable is being upgraded, another of my nieces is having her First Holy Communion this weekend. Emily has a big school dance coming up for the end of Year Six, and I need to adjust her dress.
