Guess we know how I keep out of trouble  :)

I forgot to mention a couple knitting related gifts I received this year.  My sweetie got me lace blocking wires.  Those will make finishing my lace shawls much easier.

Did I tell you that the day before we went to Toronto in November that Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (the Yarn Harlot) was reading from her new book at the Chapters downtown Toronto?  I was bummed.  Turns out my fabulous sister (who doesn't knit) went to the reading and got a signed copy of the new book for Mom to give to me!!!  She even wore one of her fancy aran sweaters to show off for me.  Belinda also got me a gift certificate for Tina's yarn shop.
