2022 advent and other haul

 I just got 1 advent this year,  from Marmalade Yarns.  It is a pretty fade.









I also treated myself to a very special limited edition  of chiaogoo needles.






I again got West Yorkshire Spinners Christmas box. I haven't taken photos,  just of the yarn, gingerbread. 

Ribbon rose were having a sale and I couldn't resist getting an umbrella swift and fancy ball winder.





These are 200g skeins caked up. My other ball winder was only for up to 100g skeins.

Gracies first xmas and 2022 review

 Gracie had her first Christmas yesterday.  It started with a walk at the dog park 






Then back home to open her Xmas stocking 


We Then went to a friend's for lunch with her, her son and his partner.   Then we went to my cousins for dinner, so she got cuddles from 4 adults,  4 children and played with her doggy cousin, Ralph.  By the end of the day she was very tired as she hadn't had any naps.  

I have been knitting since I last posted, but as I post to Instagram,  posting here also is getting a bit much.  So this post will be a year in review.

These are most of my knits for the year.  I have a cowl on the needles that I should finish by the end of the year.  These are my completed knits for the year.
