Seduce: to win over; attract

Yarn seduces me with her siren call. "Pick me! Pick me!" I am hopelessly enchanted by yarn and am delighted by the endless choices.

Sneak peek

I've had numerous requests for a peek at my gift knitting. I don't want to give too much away so here are some closeups.





As you can see, I haven't even started the last one. I've adjusted my list quite a few times because I realize realistically I cannot get everything done that I planned. So some items will go on the list for next year. (If I'm good and start in Jan, I'll have them done in time. But we all know I get sidetracked by new and shiny things so we can only hope for the best)

November...

...already?!

Where has the year gone? It has flown by! I had such plans lists of holiday gift knitting I'd be doing. (being a planner I have lots and lots of lists)

I will manage to get a few things done but not my entire list... and I will have to accept that fact and not stress. So, what I don't get done will be on the list for next year!!

I'm not complaining, just chatting about how fast the year flies by when you keep busy doing what you love. Yes, knitting.

And I get so easily sidetracked by all the pretty yarns out there. And patterns... did I mention the patterns? I have plenty of patterns I'd like to knit which in turn means I must might buy yarn. (I need to have the perfect right yarn for the pattern) I didn't mention books. Did I mention books?! Did you know there is a bazillion books (not to mention magazines, we won't even start on the magazines) out there about knitting, knitting gifts, yarn, knitting techniques... 'whew' ... which means there is a gazillion patterns out there!! and new ones are designed every day! I know, I have contributed to the pattern epidemic!

So my gift knitting list grows and grows and grows.

(Warning! you may not see many knitted items here over the next two months. 'cuz they are seecreet, shhhh!)
