Again the month changes without me!

Well, now November has ended without me sort of like October did...

Christmas knitting! I redid that squatty sidekick and now it's so much better! It's a useful size and I like it! It's going with the Yarn Harlot's unoriginal hat to my cousin Jenna.

I also found BOW RIBBON!!! AND it's not the velvet kind it's just plain red 2" wide ribbon! My grandma is "the Bow Lady" in Almaden (San Jose, CA) so I feel like I need to hang on to the tradition. She puts bows up on every telephone pole on her street before Christmas, I think it really gets the neighbors in the spirit :) Awww, Grandma! The only bad news about the ribbon is that I found it at the Goodwill since it doesn't seem to exist any more...

And since I know you all want to see it, here is the tree!


P.S. Robin, Shelley, and I made gingerbread houses... mine is minimally decorated, Robin gloated about how wonderful her kit was, then she accidentally smashed it, and Shelley's spontaneously caved in so she stacked up a bunch of graham crackers and decorated it anyway! Fun times - note the empty beer bottles...
