So That Was Christmas

Christmas is over, and it was probably the best one I've had in years. I did not ask my parents for anything, and they got me everything I would have asked for.

Knitting-wise, all I got was a copy of The Knitter's Companion which is pretty awesome. I got several books off of my Amazon list, one of which is Small-Batch Baking which I'm excited about, because it will let me try new recipes without having loads leftover.

The best gift in my whole family, though, was Holly

She was a gift for my little brother, who was so convinced that Santa would bring him a puppy that we couldn't NOT get one. She's precious, and he's learning how to play with her. I have to watch out for her though, so she doesn't accidentally bite or scratch me, but thus far she's just been very loving. She howls when she's in her crate though, and I have difficulty tuning stuff out, so that's not cool. Oh well, such is the life of a puppy!

I tried to start my friend's Odessa today, but I need bigger beads. So, tomorrow I guess! :)
