That is an impressive cake. I haven’t managed to make a cake in a few years. But handmade candles make me feel like I’m failing at the art of entertaining.

They are worth the effort. Why don’t I think of these things?

Your birds are wonderful. I agree with your statement that gifts are much about the giver, but receiving something handmade and attractive is so much more welcome than many token gifts I see these days.

getting started is always my favorite part, but always seems to take the most effort to get everything together. But it’s the best when you really can just pick up a project for a few minutes (or 20). What are you starting?

Although I don’t have a lot of time off stage in Pirates, I do have about ~20 min maybe in act 2 and though it would be a great time to start some new projects. I found the patterns, got yarn and figured, “I have lots of random needles.” Well apparently I’ve misplaced a lot of those needles and probably never had the ones I need now anyway. I’ve become partial to knitting things in the round but that means that I can only use circular or double-pointed.

I had to wait a few days until I had time to go find some new dp needles ’cause nothing I had worked, and then to find that the national chain store that I ended up at only had 4 sets of dp needles. I feel bad that I don’t shop at the yarn store, but it isn’t open when I’m not at work. So the internet to the rescue. I found a pack of size 1-15 dp needles (for less than $2 a set). The best part is they have the size on the needle, since I’m always guessing the size when I start a project. Maybe I can get something started finally.

Hi Larsons!

Can you believe it, The year is nearly over (2009) and will soon be begining for your little one. I need to get hopping on your blanket. How are you doing on diaper covers?

Just this week I taught myself to knit cable pattern. Working on a beautiful 3-3 cable scarf out of Manos de Uraguay…I just love their silk/Merino, this one is cobalt/peacock/bronze and looks like a diagonal cable lattice basketweave. Love, Aunt Charlotte
