It just hasn't felt much like Christmas. My hubby and I haven't done any decorating. I haven't done a lot of cooking since Thanksgiving, including baking (my waistline thanks me). The first of the big holiday parties start this weekend, and I still haven't wrapped my gift. Secret Santa is one of those holiday traditions that I appreciate. I like being able to buy gifts for one of my friends each year without it becoming some strange drama about who did or did not get presents (because some of us never aged out of middle school).
I am not really doing much for the party. I am making mini cupcakes, of which I will probably take a photograph or two. I'm not sure how I will decorate them yet, but it will be cute regardless.
Below is a picture of some of the scarves I have knit recently (as in since the last ice age) for Dulaan. I love making cabled scarves, and especially love using some of the bigger more complicated cables from sweater patterns to make something nice like the scarf on the right. The blue scarf is my own pattern (not enough like a pattern to post), where I used garter ridges to take the place of row counters. Fun fun!
