The holidays are upon us! This year we have an adventure planned - tomorrow we are heading to Romania for a family Christmas in the countryside. I've never been to Romania and am super excited about the trip! I am extremely unprepared for the travel but I'm ready to dive into an unforgettable experience. I'll be back after the new year with plenty of photos.
I've been cramming in some last minute crafting in preparation for the trip. A gift hat is almost done after an evening of knitting, and I finished a yarn for travel knitting.
The fiber is merino in my colorway Roses of my Childhood.
There are two plump skeins of it, adding up to 640 yards of a heavy fingering yarn.
It's destiny is to become an Elizabeth Zimmerman February baby sweater, as a gift for a friend's baby girl who will arrive in this world this spring. I'm thrilled with how the colors spun up and can't wait to knit with it.
My other travel knitting is one of the famous two row Noro striped scarves, so it should be a nice balance.
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
ps- the fence is DONE! WOOOOO!
