I'm dreaming of a white Christmas ..

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleighbells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and white

And may all your Christmases be white!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Happy Holidays !

I love the cold rainy season now that Christmas is just round the corner.. and this is what makes me feeling excited :

1. Xmas tree !
2. Xmas presents under the tree
3. Xmas stocking
4. Xmas wreath hanging on the doors
5. Xmas songs playing at the shopping malls
6. Xmas gift wrapping
7. Xmas feast with roast turkey, honey baked ham (YUM YUM!)
8. Xmas log cake
9. Xmas carolling
10. Xmas lighting at shopping malls and of course, Santa Claus and Santarina !

Are you still busy knitting your Xmas gifts ...

I pledge to Buy Handmade !

Stumbled onto the Buyhandmade.org website and made a pledge with it (# 9104). You should support and pledge to buy only handmade too. Hooray for handmade !

Hurry up for Xmas knitting..

Down with the flu bug because of the hot and humid weather. Stayed indoor and surprisingly it rained cats and dogs today. Took the time to pack my wool and realised i had stocked up some wool but forgotten all about them. Dont know whether its too late now to start taking them out to knit them into some gifts from Xmas. I'd better hurry up to start knitting...

Yippee!

Completed the pink purse / tissue pouch last week. Now left with sewing in a zip... Here's how it looks!



Am going to resume knitting the shoulder warmer for the time being again ..

Whiz away !

I was away in Shenzhen China last week. Did not get to knit anything over the one week stay.

While I was in Shenzhen, visited the Dongmen area in Luohu District. In the Dongmen area, found lots of wholesale centre selling wool at the basement of the shopping centres - literary underground shopping centres! The wool were cotton ones in particular! and were rather cute too - most of the wool were little round pom-pom balls of wool!

Shop proprietors were selling these cotton wool in bulk prices and were also busy knitting away some of their wool to produce things like knitted caps, hats, toe socks and wool slip-ons to be put on sale. After much bargaining, we manage to get a grey and white colour cotton knitted hat at a rock bottom price of RMB15 (approx S$3) ! Due to time constraints, I was unable to bring back some of the wool... maybe next trip.
