Well I finally finished the sweater for my future father inlaw. I finished it just in time for Christmas and even got it shipped to him in time. Here it is.
He said he really liked it. It actually fit him too. My Fiance's sister was very impressed. He says she is an excellent seamstress and knits also. I was hoping to get his dad to model it for me so I could show how it looks on him.
Aside from that Christmas was very nice for us. We spent it in Las Vegas. It was kind of cold there. I didn't win much money, but I didn't spend much either.
Then last weekend before New Years eve my daughter and I went to Grand Junction to visit my parents and brothers there. I even had time on Saturday to visit one of the local yarn stores there called "The Yarn Store". I bought 2 balls of Kertzer On Your Toes sock yarn and some new size 3 double points and spent 50 dollars. My mother thinks I am crazy for spending that much on yarn for some socks that I still have to make myself. She is not a knitter obviously.
We had a great time at her house on Saturday night and the kids and my step dad got some of the greatest slippers. Here is a picture of them:
