Wow, is it Christmas already? My husband’s first question is always: “Do we have a Christmas tree?”, although we never actually get one. We have an artificial hand-me-down from my husband’s grandparents that we sometimes set up, sometimes not. This year we decided not to, because we are spending our Christmas at the in-laws. My mother-in-law decorates everything so nicely every year that it really gets me in the spirit. Otherwise I might have missed out on Christmas entirely, I think.

Usually I would write something here about a new pattern, or my progress on projects but since all my Christmas presents are done and wrapped (finished the last pair of socks last night), all that’s left is to say:

Thank you!

Thank you for supporting Indie designers like me this year. Thank you for all the new friends I made (you know who you are!). Thank you for the great experiences at Manchester and Rhinebeck. Thank you for a great 2016 and I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.

If you want to return the sentiment, consider leaving a comment at your favourite (knitting) blog once in a while. I am sure anyone would be delighted to know they have readers. ;)
