I have finally finished one set of Christmas sweaters and hats. This is for the elder grandson, Thomas. I don't think I enjoy doing stripes like this much. They aren't difficult, but you have to take care with the colors a lot, especially when seaming and such because you don't want the white to show on blue or vice versa. All in all, I wasn't pleased with the way the pattern designer wrote the instructions for finishing.
We only have a little over 3 weeks until vacation now and it will start to become busy fairly soon. With pets and all, you have to make a lot of preparations and I always over prepare with regards to having our wills and information readily available in our home should something happen. Nothing is worse that grieving and having to deal with all that it involves then not being able to find the insurance, requests, wills and such of the person involved. I always make sure that stuff is right on the kitchen counter with all the instructions just in case.
We are really looking forward to getting away for a week. It is very hot there this year, but we are renting a car so won't have to walk in it much. All in all, it should be a really good and relaxing time for us.
