I really love the holidays...

Hooray for a two day work week! I am a massive holiday lover, obviously, and an SF lover, so here we have, the holidays around SF, part one gagillion. I have a couple stocking suffers left to buy, a hat to make, and a toe to knit on the second monkey sock. I might have sustained a slight stab wound to the left pointer finger while trucking away on the foot of the sock yesterday, but I think I can knit past the pain! All should be done and ready by Christmas eve!

The season continues

Union Square is one of those places when I think of San Francisco and the holidays. Filled with childhood memories of shopping, soft pretzels, the cider at Williams Sonoma, the Macy's window display, and the light up snowflakes on Sak's, this place at Christmas is jammed packed with enough nostalgia to give me the warm fuzzies for days. Aside from the fact that last Christmas season, N was pick-pocketed about 200 yards from here... still. I love Union Square at Christmas!


That's right. A Christmas tree, along side palm trees, and an ice rink that has to be frozen, since it does not freeze here :) Its been in the 40s this week, and egad, I cannot remember being so cold. Makes me want to stay home and knit all day!

Christmas in the city

Why is it Christmas trees are so hard to photograph?

I was going to post two patterns today and have them available on Ravely, but alas, that apparently takes a bit of time when you are a first time designer. Patterns to come, I swear! For now, a little seasonal cheer from my own Christmas tree:




And a couple shots from around SF, so Saviche will feel at home!
