Late in the season...






My family is not going to be able to get together for Christmas until the 23rd of January, so I have a truly legitimate reason to still have my tree up! I bought these 3 ornaments in Holland this year on my trip. 2 are delft and the Svaert Per is resin. I had to really stop and think, but I don't think I bought any ornaments in Denmark. I'm also going through a heavy ginger molasses spice cookie phase right now! These smell like pure Christmas, they'll scent up an entire house, and if you make enough of them, you'll eventually get a new jar lid from the molasses!
This is another pair of baby bootees for my friend Rachel. They were knit on US 2 dpn's with Araucania yarn from a Socks! Socks! Socks! pattern. I'm currently knitting another keyhole scarf with the remaining yarn, but I should have enough left over for a matching baby hat. Too bad you can't knit "grown up bootees" because I think these just look cozy! ;)
