The birthday party was a hit and the kids had a blast. I'm so thankful that we decided to hire a magician to keep the kids entertained. We used Philip & Henry to help find us a local magician. The show was curtailed to 4 & 5 year old kids. They had so much fun.
We brought a couple of kitties into our home the next day. Tetra and Akari are a bonded pair of five month old kittens we adopted last weekend. They our sweet. Our lovely Molly, our 8 year old cat, is not too pleased. We're working on easing the transition. My older son is so appreciative with his early Christmas present. He named one and my husband named the other kitty.
I headed to Salt Lake City for a work thing. As always, I was both excited and nervous about the trip. Wanting to make a great impression on my bosses/new colleagues and to learn... I was happy to have some crafting time on the plane and I knitted during the meetings. It's a great group of professionals.I had to share a picture of the beautiful lights and the large LDS temple.
Onto #Stashdown2020. Here is the list crafted by @browngyrlknits:
1. Inventory your yarn before Jan. 1
2. Pick patterns to go with your yarn and make a list
3. Knit from that list all year
4. You get $30/ month for new yarn. Use it all at one time or break it up.
5. You get 2 "deal breakers" for the year just in case your will-power gives out
I'm working on Step 1!!! I went through about 3 large bins. I won't get through all of them, but there is wiggle room to simply work on the yarn you plan to use. With the large scrap projects I plan to do, I'm hoping this is a super productive year and to make it through a couple of bins of yarn.
Lastly, I've been enjoying my yarn advent calendar from Yarn Over New York. I really want larger batches of many of these colors. So much fun!
Wishing you happy holidays and happy crafting.
