Want to participate in Stephen West's newest Hiberknitalong? The Aurora Cabin Shawl is the pattern for the upcoming event which casts on on December 26. We just got in kits using the same Life in the Long Grass yarn used in the pattern from the popular Irish dyer that is being featured in the pattern!
Above is the fingering weight singles option in warm, below the fingering weight singles options in cool.
Stephen West featured two color options in his shawl pictures, a cool and a warm option, and I have both those for you. The pattern uses Singles, but I also ordered them for you in Sock. The Singles and Sock can be used interchangeably - it won't make a difference to the needle size you use or how it knits up at all. But the Sock is a plied yarn with a bit of nylon, which I know many of you like. So I ordered both for you. Again, it doesn't make any difference in how you follow the pattern -same weight yarn and colors and same price.
Above is the fingering weight sock in the warm option, below in the cool color option.
FYI, in his pattern, he chose other color names for the colors than what LITLG uses, so you'll noticed that the color names on our skeins are of the actual LITLG colors, as they aren't renamed something else. Also keep in mind that each dyelot is slightly different and the images you see on our website are accurate for the dyelots and skeins you'll get from us.
If you'd like to see pictures of the finished shawl, they are all available on the Ravelry pattern page. And if you would like a different color combo, you know where to find me - just email me, Allison, at service@simplysockyarn.com.
Putting up Christmas decorations and buying a poinsettia plant

Christmas starts for me in putting up the tree and decorations. I work on making ornaments for kids and grandkids each year.

Christmas starts with putting up the tree and outside decorations. I used a step ladder to install hooks and put lights around the windows. It was a big challenge but the grandkids will be excited when they visit.

Christmas starts for me at the end of Thanksgiving weekend when we start to decorate and listen to Christmas music.
