Little Wit Knits – Unplugged

…now you don’t. My friend Sparkli was awesome tonight and helped me to crop a person out of some of my engagement photos. I think she and D did a bang up job. Heck you’d never know something was missing if I didn’t show you the before and after. I showed the boy to get his approval before putting the pictures into the photo book we’re ordering for ourselves. I asked him if he noticed any differences and I swear you’d have thought he was reading an old Scholastic magazine. He managed to find every spot that I didn’t even notice. Except of course the one spot I was checking to see if he noticed. hah. I think they look great. If you’d like to play your own game of what’s different here are the pictures:

Just a friendly neighborly reminder to buy your tickets for Sticks n Stitches. Right now we’ve only sold 8 tickets and I know I had a list of about 70 people that planned on going. Where are all of you guys? Also, if you know of any vendors who would like to donate to the goody bags or donate door prizes that would be wonderful. As it stands right now there are about 10 people who will get all the loot. I look forward to seeing y’all there!

Today I finished up one of the items on my to do list (as long as you don’t count weaving in ends…I am saving that all up for conference calls movie marathons!) I can give you a little peek of the bearfoot mittens. I was test knitting a pattern for a friend. I think they look quite cozy with this lovely mug imported from the UK.

With all the excitement going on this weekend, I was pretty plum tuckered out and had trouble getting my dupa out of bed this morning. I did however make it to work on time. The boy worked on the edging for the bathroom so hooray it may be all painted soon! We had a wonderful dinner of steak and carrots before I had to run out to a cookie exchange amongst my mom’s friends. I spent the whole time knitting away on the 2nd of my bearfoot mitts. I am currently at the gusset and if I knit enough tomorrow morning and night I might be able to finish. I also picked up my freshly blocked Ishbel that I left over there by accident yesterday. It may have stopped along the way with one of the ladies who tried to claim it as her own. I told her I would be happy to make her one after Christmas but that she could not run off with that one. Now it’s time for bed, so that hopefully I will wake up early and perky tom’w. Then I can get some more time in for Christmas knitting. (eep!)

I took my little to the Village Lights festivities tonight. We had a great time hanging around at Book Loft for an hour before they turned on the lights. Then we hopped in line for the one horse open sleigh rides. She took this picture of the horse when another group was getting on. You could fit 4 people comfortably and squeeze in 5 if you had small kids. It’s a good thing we happened upon the line early as it got long fast and with each trip being about 10 min the wait time was pretty long.

The horse's name was Erin

After we finished our sleigh ride we hightailed it to the other end of the festival to a bakery to try their cupcakes. Then we walked back and had to head home. It was a great time and I will definitely swing by it again next year. Although I may go with the boy so I can partake in some of the adult festivities and drinking.
