Christmas time is here.....already?

 

Every year around September and October I start to make big plans for all the Christmas gifts I am going to knit. "This year I am going to knit all my gifts!" "It's going to be sooooo cost effective!" Two things then happen:
1. I buy a bunch of yarn, which I might add is NOT cost effective.
2. and then I proceed to completely burn out on knitting and don't want to look at it.
By the time Thanksgiving rolls around I realize I've done nothing and Christmas time is here. Well, it's happened again. However, I am happy to say I did get some ornaments done. (pictures and pattern details soon) And I knitted a friendly little snow man named Pierre. Unfortunately, everyone who comes in contact with Pierre is wooed by his charms and they want a snowman of their own.....so now I have even more knitting to do...what a vicious circle. (a very soft, fluffy, colorful, vicious circle.)

Update: Here are a few pics of my knitted ornaments. The patterns are available from Ornamentalknits.com
