So this is Christmas.....

...and what have you done? Another year over, a new one just begun!

I'm not sure if I should tell the world what I did for Christmas because you'll either feel sorry for me or be really jealous. Firstly Christmas Eve was spent baking mince pies (kind of a gross picture since I had to use the flash):

And roasting chickens at my friends house where I was kept company by this furry little critter:

"The Big Day" was spent on my own watching crappy TV, making chicken stock and knitting. KNITTING UNTIL MY FINGERS BLED. OK, slight exaggeration but I did knit a lot. See?

That's a whole sweater back folks. In three days. Uh huh. Details to follow when I'm not being distracted by my house mate using my swift and ball winder....

  1. Hey Tina,
    I wish I had the luxury of knitting all day on Christmas. Instead, I had to fight a crowd in the supermarket, and then cook a big dinner for some friends, all while fighting my mom for space in the kitchen. I do not feel sorry for you, I am more on the jealous side. Those mince pies look tasty, and although I have never had one before, I would sure like to try it.
    The sweater back looks awesome!! You rock!! What pattern is that? I am so tempted to give that a try. It would even look really good as a throw or shawl/wrap.
