Today was a long and beautiful Saturday at house Bingham. I have started my Christmas knitting projects already. I really enjoy making things for Christmas, but I never start early enough. Especially considering that my Uncle Sal and Aunt Melanie just moved here with their five adorable children, there are SOOO many people who need wonderful scarves and hats and other such gorgeous knits.
Today I made Casey some gorgeously tasty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies...testing a Christmas recipe. They turned out really really good, and they have that "not quite perfect circles" homemade look too, which I was kind of going for.
I also finished a hat for my cousin Lealani, who LOVES to wear colorful and wild things. So I used this ridiculous yellow yarn with all these difficult color yarn and ribbon pieces coming out. It's gorgeous and I think she'll love it. I alternated stockingnet and seed stitch, I love it.
Thtat's a shot of me holding it. Here's a shot of the top:
While cooking and cleaning and baking and knitting, Casey I knocked a few oldish movies off our Netfix Instaque: Father of the Bride; Parenthood; and To Be or Not To Be (Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks). All in all it was a wonderful day! Now if I only had a wideout I could hope that tomorrow would be equally awesome.
