The last remnants of our Christmas holiday are my unfinished December Daily, some stale cookies and the last pieces of peppermint bark in the fridge.<br /><br />The peppermint bark was something new for me.

Shelley Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:29:40 +0100 Christmas Baking http://www.inapeanutshell.com/archive/christmas-knitting-2011.html <p>Wow! It's the third of January already! I feel like I should do some sort of "looking back, looking forward" post but for now I'm going to talk about this year's (last year's?) Christmas knitting.<br /><br />I only had two projects this year but since both of them were for Rob I had to get creative about when and where I was knitting. Project number one was a new pair of socks. Just a simple 2x2 rib around 64 stitches. The yarn is Socks that Rock Lightweight in "Manly yes, but I like it too"....

My Christmas knitting this year was all hats. I can't remember what put the idea into my head but it seemed very achievable so I went with it. It was a lot of fun to pick out a pattern and yarn for each person; I tried out three new yarns and two new patterns. Here's the run down:<br /><br />For Mum:</p><br/><p><img src="http://www.inapeanutshell.com/images/2010hats1.jpg" alt="" /><br />...

We've had a lovely Christmas and we're looking forward to a few gatherings with family and friends for New Year's (my sister and her husband serve an Indian dinner every year for New Year's Day - can't wait). Our celebrations were everything they always are: happy, fun, exciting and exhausting.
