Well, here we are on this ninth day of Christmas, and the busy-ness, like that snow we've been hearing so much about lately, doesn't show signs of stopping -- the list of things to do sort of expanded to fit the little extra time I had, what with school and the holidays and Brownies and ballet. Laura was in the "Nutcracker" for the first time this year, as a little angel, which meant late nights of rehearsals and performances but she enjoyed it immensely (except for washing off the make-up at ten o'clock at night), and we were impressed at her composure during most of it. I got volunteered to be Cookie Mom for Laura's Brownie troop, so I'm slowly reading the mounds of paperwork in preparation. Not to mention the backlog of blogs that I did not get to read during the past three months! But I did get a bit of knitting done on my little break -- not much, but will post about it in the next few days -- and our first dollhouse.
And the wool is Colinette's new "Jitterbug" in Velvet Plum, fairly soon to be on the sock needles.
Welcome back! I've missed you!

It's good to see you back! Isn't the Jitterbug lovely? I picked up a skein of this yarn in the Toscana variegated and will have it on the sock needles by this evening. Good luck with that Cookie Mom thing! :)

Hurrah, you're back! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!
How is the Jitterbug? It's been cropping up everywhere lately and the colors are so pretty.
