Caught up in the Christmas present making...

I just realized I hadn't write anything in my blog for 4 months. 4 months!!! wow, I have been caught up making Christmas presents and I started working at Michael's as a knitting instructor. It has been a lot of fun, but it has made a lot busier that I was before. To be honest, the Christmas presents are... in short supply this year... not enough time to knit as I wish I had. Still don't know if I am going to make it or not. Let me think, cleaning or knitting, that is the question... I have to get back to you guys on that one...

Arans with History


I was serfing the net yesterday and came across this really cool website. It is called clanarans.com. They sell kits with the pattern and wool necessary to make an aran. What's neet about it is each Aran is related to a clan or a family name from Ireland. This particular one is the one from my husband's family name "Donahue". I would love to make it for him.

Maybe I should make one for my father in law too...

The kits come also with a complete history infornation of each sweater and were the clan (family) use to live.

Wouldn't this be a great Christmas present for next year ????
