All the Christmas packages have arrived, so I can show you this:

My So-Called Scarf

This is one of my favorite patterns because of it’s unique combination of interest and ease. I am not alone in this assessment, it has been made 3826 times by Ravelers. I can’t blame them. I used Lionbrand’s Landscapes (another favorite – I love the colors and the sort of felted feel) this time around. This colorway, Summer Fields, is so bright and cheery for winter. And so colorful it is bound to match something in your closet. I hope you enjoy it, Judi, and I forgot to say: don’t put it in the washing machine! It felts like a dream.

Yesterday was the last day for The Great Virtual Cookie Swap entries so I’ll do the prize drawing this afternoon. I’ll also be counting up participants to see if that boosts my Christmas score. It’s not looking good for me this year.

I do get an extra point for the ridiculously delicious potatoes that I made for Christmas dinner (I only used one stick of butter and six ounces of cream cheese and regular salt instead of season salt). There was barely a polite portion left in the serving dish. Santa won bonus points for Ellie’s Christmas* present selection: the Frog Launcher was an enormous hit.

Emily: 11 Christmas: 43 Santa: 10

Michael has the Christmas pictures in his Flickr. There is video but it isn’t edited yet. Or even imported. Maybe by New Year’s.
