Now that break is here, I can knit for me, for fun! I worked on my green sweater today, and I learned that *each* likes to hie in pattern directions before the word *end* (as in decrease 1 stitch at each end) For the second time on this sweater, I have read that as *decrease 1 stitch at end*. Repeat to self: "Frogging is my friend, frogging is my friend"

We got a Christmas tree today! We waited so long because we were waiting for my brother to get home from college. It was fun. I started reading The Fellowship of the Ring last night. (I read The Hobbit last year and didn’t like it. I’m hoping this will be better) Only 4 days ’til Christmas! I’m giving my mom a miniature sweater ornament because I plan on knitting her a cardigan but want her to be able choose the yarn and style. I’m also going to give my bro a mini hat because I promised to knit him a hat and mittens yesterday but there isn’t time before Christmas. I think I’ll make my dad a mini sock.
