All About the Snowmen

I started this week with the Knitters' Christmas party on Sunday, and it was another great one! From the awesome Stocking Stuffers

(mine included chocolate, peppermint and snowmen)

Trivet from Michelle, dryer balls (and spray) from Julie,
tool kit from Lisa L, chapstick holder and keychain from Lisa R,
handmade soap from Judy, granola from Andrea,
cross-stitch from Stephanie...all so good!

to all the yummy treats, 

we had a great afternoon! 

While we laughed and chatted, most of us were also knitting. I was working on a Secret Santa gift, and since the reveal was on Sunday, I can show you what I made! Starting with one of my fave patterns...

Mochimochi Snowmen

I added creative touches that branched out into a wise message, but something was missing...

Jess told me it was carrots, and she was so very right!  

I mean, just look at the final product, on my co-worker's desk! 

Those carrots brought all the wisdom. As you can see, these guys without noses look like they made some pretty questionable choices at the office party...

Slumping snowmen aside, it was a winning week, but I'm so far behind on the Christmas prep! I usually have a gingerhood by this time in December, but I haven't built a single house yet, and even the tree is feeling a little picked-over... 

while I've been side-tracked by snowmen! And a handful of teacher gifts for my grandsons...

Where are you in your holiday preparation schedule...are you ready? Or are you running behind, like me? 

Either way, thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health! 

PS- the pig has returned...🤦‍♀️
