I’ve had better. Remember me complaining about how tired I was last Friday? It became apparent by about 2am Saturday that I was actually coming down with the mother of all head colds. I spent the majority of Christmas day sitting in bed, watching TV and blowing my nose.
(Warning: If you don’t appreciate runny nose talk, skip ahead now. I, somehow, feel compelled to blog about it. Sorry. I’m twelve.)
I was mentioning this phenomenon in knitting group and Annie described it perfectly. She said that it’s like evil aliens have opened a portal to the Mucous Dimension inside your head. There’s just no other way to explain how otherwise normal and fairly mild-mannered sinuses could possibly be producing that much snot! I, literally, could not be out of reach of a tissue for the entire day. I came to understand what the Yarn Harlot meant when she said she felt she must blow her nose or end her life.

I am feeling much better now, thanks in large part to my humidifier. All hail the mighty humidifier! I think mine cut this cold down by several days.
ACTUAL KNITTING CONTENT STARTS HERE:
I'm fairly pleased with how much I've gotten done this holiday season.
When I last posted about my progress, I'd just finished the nieces sweaters and was doing battle with the first stocking. Here is that stocking with the bow recentered.
I then made this one for my sister
and this one for my brother-in-law.
After that came Little Nephew's presents. He asked me for a hat 
that was also a mask, 
a scarf to match 
and some socks. 
He picked all the colors himself, BTW. Last, but not least, were socks for the two zen masters at CZC. 
My next project is a sweater for the Divine Miss W. 
She's a little chilly but will, hopefully, will be warmly clothed within a few days.

Your FO's turned out perfect (as usual)! I have enjoyed knitting with Regia Silk 6-ply, but have yet to try the 4-ply. Hope to see you in January with Wanda!

Well, your not the only one who needs to invest in Kleenix for a holiday. Husband got it first and now I've got it.
As for UFO's I've managed to get a couple done but completly forgot that The Gift needs a Xmas stocking. I guess I can shoot for next year.
And the divine Miss W, she sure looks cold! Hurry up women! Get those needles humming!
