My friend Melissa<\/a> came up to the city on Friday and we went on a little adventure to the Cloisters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We saw very impressive carvings:
\n\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

and walked around the gardens, which are all ready for winter:
\n\"The<\/a>
\n\"The<\/a>
\n\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we went downtown to see the Lion Brand Studio, but we forgot to check their hours. They were closed. We did, however, have a good laugh at their window display:
\n\"Lion<\/a> \"Lion<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a little hard to see in the glare of the window, but yes, those are size 300 needles. I’m wondering what yarn goes with those<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Then I came home and did more Christmas knitting.
\n\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

This is from Knitpicks Tidings of Joy<\/a> Ornament kit. I’m slowly working my way through the booklet, and I absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for some quick present ideas. (Unless you’re in Scotland, of course.) I could probably figure most of these out on my own, but sometimes it’s nice to have someone else do the lifting and figure out the numbers for you. It’s a terrific little kit with some great ideas — strings of lights! sugarplums! popcorn & cranberry strings! and I’m really enjoying turning out finished objects this quickly. The only problem is that I want to keep them all.<\/p>\n

Ok. Enough jabber, more knitting! Dare I ask how everyone else is progressing? Or have you not started yet? I know one person is done. I won’t say who it is for her own safety, but she should know I’m pretty darn impressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
