  — Authority:
  Oh, what a week it’s been! Nearly everyone here at Chateau Chaos came down with a stomach bug and some of us still aren’t feeling 100% but we’re all at least feeling better than we did.

• One Cocktail Away

  
  — Authority:
  Every year around this time, I begin my quest of finding a new wall calendar for the upcoming year. In most years, this causes me a bit of stress as I don’t generally go for traditional-type calendars. I like something either very artistic or very snarky. Imagine that. Last year was actually very easy for ...

• How many days until Christmas???

  I should probably have a plan.  At least a knitting plan.  I should have a list of hand-knits Id like to gift my loved ones with. I should be rummaging through the stash for the perfect yarns to warm the important people in my life.  I should be working diligently on those gift knits every day. What have I been ...

  — Authority:
  Boy oh boy its chilly outside! Its "only"-13 degrees celcius but it sure feel like a lot more!

• November Progress?

  
  — Authority:
  Im afraid that for the whole month of November I have very little progress to share.  Aside from the last couple of photos Ive done very little stitching.  I did finally pull out an ornament that I had started that I thought would be quick to stitch up, but Im still working on it very slowly.  This is from the 2000 ...

• A Difficult Choice

  
  — Authority:
  Over this Thanksgiving holiday, Ive been finishing things up. I got a lot done on Betty. I steeked the arm holes, and seamed them into the sweater body. Alas, the sweater is too small. I tried it on to show a couple of people, and their response is "Well, maybe it could work...", or "Its not really that bad." But, I ...

They are quicker than scarves, easier to wear indoors, and less hassle than hats. ( No decreases to keep track of) Plus ...

• A Finish & A Start

  
  — Authority:
  I hope everyone here in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday yesterday. I had a nice day and got to spend some time with my outlaws (former FIL & SIL) which was really nice. We went out to Mimi’s Cafe for a traditional turkey meal, and no one had to do any cooking or cleaning. It worked perfectly for ...

I finished up Drawn Threads Morning Glory on Monday night, I had much less to do on that that I thought I did, so I was quite pleasantly suprised to finish it so quickly. Here you go, as usual ignore my terrible photography skills. Its so difficult to ...

  — Authority:
  Hey Robin,I find myself in a peculiar position... balanced on that thin line that we find ourselves on in this particular season. I finished a holiday gift (#18 or so in the list), so do I start another and face gift-burnout or do I start a little something for myself? Hmmm... to demonstrate:I recently finished these ...
