Christmas time...

I haven't done much knitting these last few days,  because as you know,  of course,  Christmas isn't far away and I have just woken up!!!  Not only there are cards to write (still not done),  presents to buy (managed a few) and  to wrap up nicely (not done),  but schools have also started a program of activities so full that my head is spinning.  On top of that my son had to work hard for his 3rd grade clarinet music exam coming up this week  (meaning:  he did all the practising and I did all the nagging ,  interrogating under the lamp and encouragements...).  Why is Christmas time so busy???

So with all this excitement,  Air hasn't progressed a stitch...  But now that my scarf is done,  I was nicely reminded that the Gryffindor scarf should be next on the list...  So I had to cast on,  and it is now resting in my Evening Knitting Basket...   If you expect authenticity, you will be disappointed but my son is pleased with it and it's what matters.  The chances of me finishing Air before Christmas seem pretty slim...

PS:   Christian  passed his exam  and I am a proud Mum.  Now we can rest till the New Year (I think...) before we start all over again for the next one...

I'm sure that you'll finish the scarf (which looks pretty authentic to me) by Christmas. Love your knitting basket too!

The scarf can be a little tedious. Good luck getting through it. Great news on Christian's exam!

Never mind, just think when it's all over and cold and damp outside, there will be plenty of opportunity to sit with our feet up, watching Christmas tv, box of chocolates at our side and some wonderful knitting for company....bliss.

Congrats on your Christian's exam results! The HP scarf looks good so far and I really look forward to see a completed Air :)

Christian congrats on working hard and passing your exam. Give your Mom a big hug and say thank you for caring! See I am a Mom in Los Angeles and I have the same scenario happening here with my son. Nagging is not fun for us, it comes along with a tremendous amount of emotional stress. I hope your Christmas will be enjoyable and not too stressful. I haven't started the Gryffindor scarf yet but I intend to. All the best.
