Following a tragic accident, involving my youngest son’s best friend last Friday, I haven’t had the heart to sew or blog this week and I apologize for visiting everyone’s Making Christmas posts from last week so late. I have been knitting, though, and pondering how to introduce a yarn aspect to my blog. I hope to introduce this tomorrow or maybe next Sunday. In the meantime, a finish I’m adding to my list this week is these purple felted mittens.
How are you getting on with your list?
See you at Celtic Thistle Stitches

Sorry to hear about your son's friend, life can be incredibly cruel sometimes. Supporting your son is so much more important than anything else at the moment.
