Tonight I did a little bit of finishing up some small knitting things I did yesterday.  I did them both with my HSKS swap yarn!  The little sweater was made with the yarn from my swap partner Lavender Ollivander.  And the heart was made with yarn from my Random Act of Kindess package that Ophelia Ballycastle sent me!

Check it out -

And Jimbo didn’t really seem too thrill to pose for the photo, but hey, I took the photo anyway.

And here’s a picture of my Christmas tree (see I really did get one).

After looking at this photo, it looks like I don’t have a whole lot of ornaments on the tree.  The ornaments are those smaller round ornaments, so they seem to look a little like the lights on the tree.

And I got my HSKS House award!  Check it out!

And on that note, I’m going to drink a bunch of nyquil and try and sleep tonight.

Oh!  Before I forget, tomorrow night is the luminaria down on Lake Washington and the Argosy Christmas boat.   Hopefully I’m feeling good enough to go down there for a few minutes and take some pictures!

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with te yarn just yet. But I can guarantee the coffee and the candy will be gone in no time! Thanks again Carrie!

On Saturday I was out shopping with a couple of friends and I took some photos of the holiday cheer here in Seattle. Here’s a picture of the “Charlie Brown” tree the down at Westlake Center. This tree made news here because it was such a Charlie Brown tree. They supposedly added a few branches here and there, but for the life of me I can’t find them.

And it wouldn’t be Seattle without some sort of protest. Here’s a group protesting the war and the commercialism.

While I was out I bought Kink and Jimbo a new tent thing for them to play in. It turns out Kink loves it. Jimbo, again, could care less.

And yesterday I taught Kink how to knit. Again, Jimbo could care less. He also seems to be a bit camera shy recently. I wonder if he’s going thru puberty.

Hopefully this evening I’ll be finished with my the last knit present I’m making for Christmas. That means that I’ll be able to work on my sweater and my friend’s Log Cabin Blanket.
