Merry Christmas '07
I've got two new ornaments on my tree.
Some mittens. Aren't they cute?
And a wee little Santa hat. Also very cute.
I had planned on making more of these but, well, you know how those sorts of plans often go. Truly, though, they are very fast. Twenty minutes per item, max. It doesn't get much quicker than that!
Tonight our house will be bursting at the seams with family and friends. I've baked dozens of cookies and yesterday Dale and I made 180 Swedish meatballs. Today I'll be stuffing finger sandwiches, baking beans and a ham, and making lots of deviled eggs. Mmmmm.
You can be certain that while I'm doing all those things I'll be thinking of you. I wish we could all spend Christmas Eve together - what a party that would be!
A toast to my blog readers. Merry Christmas from all of us at Carole Knits!

How sweet. The mittens, the hat, the sentiments. I'm glad you said you'd be thinking of us, because I'm often thinking the same thing, wishing that all us knitters could gather for a big holiday bash. Cheers to you. Have a fun party!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I'll bet your house smells fab by the end of the day! At least if we're sitting there knitting I'd have to keep my hands out of the deviled egg platter! VBG!

Merry Christmas! I read your blog every morning, but don't often comment---thanks for all the work you put into it. Are you going to share your meatball recipe? I made the ones with grape jelly and chili sauce for my S&B group's last Knit & Wine, and the group only left me two lone meatballs to bring home. (!)

when my friend Janna orders a dirty martini she says, "I want a dirty martini, but not just dirty--when you think it's dirty enough add more olive juice--make it slutty."
