my first installment of holiday handknits this week consists of three hats, a pair of fingerless mitts and a stripey ribbed scarf. all in single ply merino worsted yarn (using either malabrigo worsted, manos del uruguay maxima, three irish girls galenas merino or 100purewool merino single ply), in a variety of colorful combinations! you can find my specific knitting notes and details for each in the following ravelry links...
join me for more holiday handknits tomorrow!

after another unintentional absence here, i am back once again with belated holiday wishes! we enjoyed an extended lovely and quiet holiday break with family and dear friends...involving a great deal of fun, food and traditions new and old - filling our hearts with much gratitude and joy! hoping your holidays were just as wonderful and magical as ours...
oh yes, and there was also plenty of knitting going on as well, let me tell you. i'll be sharing some of my holiday handknits here this week (just as i have in years past), so i do hope you will join me as i attempt to finally find my rhythm once again here on the blog!

the twelve days of christmas end with the feast of epiphany, or three kings day. according to an old legend based on a bible story, this is the day the magi, after following the bright star in the east, arrived bearing gifts for the christ child. for our family, this is the day we traditionally take down our christmas tree and carefully put the cherished ornaments and decorations away until next year. for me, it is also a time of cleaning and reorganization. a paring down of unnecessary things and bringing a new sense of simplicity to the coming year...
wishing you a lovely day of joy and peace for the coming year...
