Christmas is coming . . .
And, I am getting closer to having all of the handmade things completed. Good thing, too.
I have one to complete today (picture behind the cut - Ladybug!!!! don’t you dare!) I will get started on the last gift tonight as soon as the other is off the needles. After that - whatever I knit is gravy, you see.
We had a nice snow storm yesterday and thought we just might be in for a white Alaskan Christmas - NOT!!! A couple of hours later it began to rain - just a drizzly sort of rain - but the kind that melts off the snow and leaves behind a nice icy sheen. Several accidents on the roads last night and a bad one I guess this morning.
People just need to remember HOW TO DRIVE in Alaska for goodness’ sake! You KNOW that the intersections are going to be slick. Begin slowing down BEFORE you get to them. Sheesh!
Okay, folks - here’s the skinny. Go back and read the story on that second link, won’t you? And then you’ll understand this request. I am going to be off the grid for a bit - will likely do some entries ahead, but won’t be able to sit up to the computer very well for awhile.
Anyone out there want to send me a guest entry? I’ll be happy to give you full credit and all that. But, we are on a time thing, here - so, whip it together and email it to me and I will pre-post it and fill in the days around it. Feel free to plug your site or your favorite project, too.

Yeah, that’s my sort of throwaway email address - I will check it over the next couple of days - there is a deadline, of course. I have surgery on Tuesday morning, so please get your emails to me by Monday night at the latest. Then I can plug them in around my pre-posted entries.
Thanks for this, folks. I appreciate you all.

That’s two halves of one scarf - it is nearly finished at this point. I will graft the two pieces together and then add pompoms to the ends. Cool, huh?
