It's Coming. Very Quickly.

The little one is finally sleeping. At least, I think he is. I put him in his crib a bit ago and I haven't heard any screaming since then so I think we are in the clear. Alex is away at work but will be coming home soon and the house is quiet, save for the comforting sound of the radio and the pitter patter of cat paws over the floor. The knitting is going about as well as can be expected. There has been a gift finished (except for the buttons) and another one started.

Also, if you remember that lovely alpaca farm I discovered a few month ago, you might remember that somehow, a few hanks of that delicious wool made it into the car with us and found its way onto a set of DPNs and is now almost a whole mitten. I tried it on today and imagined just how amazing it is going to be to strut parade wear my treasures when I go out in public, even if only for a few minutes.

You may be thinking, "how can you find time to knit a gift for yourself? You have only weeks until Christmas and the other projects aren't done yet.." Yes, that's true, but that happens every year. This year, at least I will look fabulous while wrapping the cheap last minute dollar store crap that is replacing this years hand knit socks. Again.
