Holiday Season and Knitting Projects

This Christmas, the cats were delighted with their presents that Santa left in their special cat stockings. Here's White Fella excited about his ball.  He also spent a lot of time under the Christmas Tree, he thought Santa had left the tree for him too!

I'm always surprised how much I like mince pies.  This year, I tried a new recipe from Rachel Allen.  It worked quite well and the pies were delicious. Gone in 5 mins! 





I finally finished the pair of Jo-Jo heel socks. The whole process was enjoyable! Here you can see the Jo-jo heel.  This was a bit tricky but I found some help on TessKnits.com



This is the completed first sock, it was great watching the pattern appear while knitting!


The completed socks modelled by Margie.  I had to cut a length of yarn so that the pattern would match up on both socks.


...more to come...
