Hi there! How are you? Me? Well, I am having happy, lazy days. Really not doing much at all, and loving it. I love having my family around me at home. Especially these days, when the house is decorated and cosy, when we have a lot of good things to eat, and the kids are in a state of joy and harmony over new toys and stuff. My body has been giving me a pretty hard time lately, so it has been perfect to be able to just cuddle up somewhere.
In spite of hurting limbs, I have managed a little knitting and crochet. This blue mohair scarf has been lying in the basket for a while, blocked and ready for an edging. The pattern had a suggested edging, but it looked weird in the yarn I used so I went through my books and found one I liked better. I was surprised that it turned out so cuddly, I had expected it to be at least a little itchy.
I was also able to finish this owl hat. It's for a baby girl, and I was asked to do it. No pattern, so I tried to keep it simple. A square hat with ear flaps (that I picked up stitches to make when the hat was done). I hope it will fit the girl... That is the hardest part when you improvise a design, that it has to fit too... :)
Now, I have a crying daughter on the floor, who wants my help to make earrings. So I better go! :)

Such a beautiful scarf! I love the edging you chose, it works really well. Is this one for keeps or a gift? Your owl designed hat will look so cute on! :) Enjoy your holidys with your family and hope the aches and pains ease off xxx
Sorry to hear about the pains you are going through. Make the most of any rest you can get. Your scarf and hat look fantastic. Take care. Chelx
