There hasn’t been much time for knitting lately, so no knitted ornaments, much to my chagrin.

In fact, I can say with absolute assurance that its only these last few years that I’ve really been making my own way with major holidays. This is not Ian and I’s first Christmas, but it’s our first Christmas in New York, with our first real tree. It’s going to be great! Yes, that is a white velvet pear on the tree.
