I can't put this off any longer - with about a week to go before I have to have one particular Christmas knit finished, blocked, dried, and wrapped, I am not even a quarter of the way through. Today's gotta be a knitting day! And a good thing too, because it's cold outside.
This pic is actually from a few days ago but the only difference now is that the snow from the branches is now piled on the ground, and the sun's shining. It's not actually producing heat, but it's bright.
Knitting Day is serious business, requiring the seriously big teapot cup:
And also, caffeinated tea. My cousin sent me a tin of Fortnum and Mason's Royal Blend tea (pictured in top left corner) and it is delicious.
She also sent me this adorable ornament, in a nod to our having had tea together at Fortnum and Mason once or twice, back when we both lived in/near London:
Here's the side with the sweets:
So cute, right?
Anyway: I am all set up with long-term fuel. And I have the project, which I'm sorry not to be able to show you at this time what with it being a surprise and all, in one of my favourite project bags made from French General cloth.
Wish me luck, and I wish you the same with whatever endeavours you have lined up for the weekend. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next Saturday!
