I'm not bored. It turns out that you can crank out a lot of knitting if you don't have to go to work or school...or today, I found that I can do a lot of shopping. :) My class adopted a family for the holiday season. Since I grew up not celebrating Christmas with presents, it was a little weird for me. I was stressing about choosing clothes for "my" kid- what if he thought they were dorky? What if he, like, totally hated the pants I picked out? I had to remind myself that I'm not going to meet this kid so if he hates my taste in clothes, I'll never know. Anyway- the knitting (is it just me or does the sweater body look surprisingly long and thin?):
And my sweetie got a present today- a mini-spirograph. There have been some verrrrry sad tales around here lately about how "the girls" hogged the spirograph in his afterschool program (yeah, that would be first grade, circa 1981, obviously the scars are barely healed) and my little sweetie didn't get to play with it. I have to say, it's totally gratifying to give the dude a present, though. He loved his new personal spirograph.

You are a kind woman. Poor sweetie not getting to play with the Spirograph. 1981? Afterschool program? He must be younger than I thought. LOL
It is so cold here today in Northern Maine...and I bet it's just as cold there in your State. We are at -9F with wind-chill.
Knitting socks for a friend so she can give them as gifts (shes not working due to her ailing mother) and Christmas socks too that should have been done months ago!
Just wanted to say 'MERRY CHRISTMAS" to you and yours.
Six more weeks before the "little guy" is born..I still can't believe we will have a grandson soon...little Sarah will have some big changes coming in her life..sharing mommy and daddy! Just wish we lived closer so I could help out, but that's life at our house!
Take care and KNIT ON!
That's funny about the spirograph. My husband had a similar issue with a soccer ball. He grew up in a small village in greece and always wanted a soccer ball, but never got one. So two years ago he finally got one. Sheesh. I love the sweater...it does look long, but that's in style now, so it'll be trendy!
What a cute sweater, and funny tale about the Spirograph...
