I have a confession. I was dubious about the sock yarn and the beads together. I looked at them in several different lights, I picked them up, I put them down, I pondered.
\nToday I cast on the first sock and got busy while watching “Cats” the musical on cable TV. And I have to confess, I love<\/i> the yarn and the beads together!

\nThe more I knitted, the more I liked them. It’s not a colour I would normally pick for myself, and needless to say Em wants it for herself, but I love it now. \ud83d\ude42
\nThe pattern has an extremely short cuff (at least for me), and I considered making it longer, but I figure if I keep it short, I may be able to get a pair for Em too. Of course, I could just buy another hank of yarn, but why not try the shorter cuff – I may like that too.
\nNorma<\/a> posted yesterday<\/a> about having a laid back Christmas. No stress, no fuss. No nothing.
\nI agree.
\nHere is my Front Door.

\nHere is my Christmas Tree corner.

\nNo tree, no gifts. Well, they’re mostly bought, I just haven’t wrapped any. \ud83d\ude42
\nHere is my one and only, lonely Christmas Ornament.

\nA polar bear, of course! He sings a jazzy version of “Santa Claus is Coming To Town” Indeed he might be, but you wouldn’t know it at my house.
\nOf course, we are driving 1300km (800 miles) to visit the in-laws, and won’t actually be here for Christmas. That’s how I convinced Em that we didn’t need the tree this year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
