I am so delighted that December has arrived!

We welcomed the new month with the delivery of the aromatic Christmas wreath!  We enjoyed having a Christmas tree last year, but the cleanup was a hassle so we passed up on it this year and settled on the wreath. It’s small compared to the six-foot tree, but it’s still very lovely hanging on our living room wall … and it smells wonderful.  Aaah, how I love this time of the year.

I just finished knitting a pair of leg warmers, inspired by Joelle Hoverson’s Super-Easy Leg Warmers pattern, from the book, Last-Minute Knitted Gifts.  I used two skeins of Cascade 200 Superwash yarns in black.  Just like the name indicates, this is easy and knits really fast — perfect for a beginner knitter.  I was able to knit this in two evenings while watching a few movies and enjoying Pon Pon’s karate kicks.

P.S.  I read this morning that the Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) is pregnant! I’m so happy for the lovely couple!  YAY!
