Proof not all of Canada is frozen tundra this time of year. Between them and the deer they enjoy the grass of the rainy season. Yes they are likely the results of a released pet into the wild at one point, same as our lizard infiltration.

After 20+ years I got one of these pattern keepers for Christmas. Lots of yarn already so little tools are nice. Took a break from knitting to crochet a pot and succulents.

Merry Christmas and/or Best Wishes to everyone. Watching my kid put together a giant Lego Concorde with Deadliest Catch on the tv and my knitting project for the afternoon. My husband does the cooking and prefers an empty kitchen so I appreciate his efforts.

The Finance Minister/deputy PM AND the housing minister resign just in time to deal with Trump in a month. Dear God what a mess for Canada. Not unexpected with Trudeau's stubbornness. The whole ship will sink alongside. Last thing I want is a Conservative majority, but it's what we are going to get

First time hand building mugs. I did the pumpkin orange and my daughter the leaf one at Halloween and they survived all the steps. It was a lot of fun.

Fred is feeling festive in his new toque. Yes he has a seasonal wardrobe. He was my study buddy in nursing school and I used to hang IV bags on him to practice my drip rate.

The Christmas knitting is done. I hope our Canadian posties can get a deal so I can mail it before the kids outgrow it.

Today's life lesson: Negative-all out of a med and symptoms mounting Positive-it worked really well. Challenge-chasing down the very good but also very busy specialist who I hope is actually resting on their day off vs contending with paperwork and messages.

The dreaded second sock to overcome. I find it hard to fight startitis after a cast off of the first one.

Pretty sure the Chiefs contribute directly to my gastritis. That was a rough win. I always need to reset my nervous system.

FIL getting his own socks since he is rumored to wear a pair of mine that got left behind. Bless him for sharing my shoe size. My family are giants (several are in the 7' range) so huge feet.

Restocking with some early gift money from my in-laws. Some of this is going back out as gifts now that I have neutrals for colorwork. The process is my gift of entertainment. Woodland Loafers in the bulky red for me though.

Nothing more Canadian than Christmas shopping for hockey skates this afternoon. Bought an electric guitar this morning as a gift so I am almost done except books for the wee ones and gifts for my in-laws.
