tara lynn's knits

(photos by leonard)

some shots leonard took of me wearing tara-lynn's knits for yarnovermovement.  this girl is the real deal and her knits are the very best.  i have collected a huge basket of scarves over the years but they are lonely and collecting dust since i really don't put a yarn creation around my neck anymore unless it's hers.   and a bonus: if you are into ballerinas, follow her blog.

im lucky and got to stay inside and watch from the window all day.  looks like it will be a white christmas after all.  i can't say that i've gotten all of my shopping done but my poor beau has been bedridden for three days with a vicious cold and i had to keep him company.

i've broken down and bought myself a pair of clogs, although i may have dangerously misjudged my ability to wear heels.  i do alright when it comes to baby heels and platforms but these are very much "high heels" and in one small outing i managed to almost sprain my ankle three times.  in conclusion, the new shoes aren't exactly what you'd call a practical purchase.  they can't all be, right?

i've been keeping busy running to and from the post office and thinking up gifts for my friends and loved ones.  i know the holiday season has just begun but i always find that once thanksgiving hits time seems to speed up and all of a sudden it's over and done with.  but before that happens and in the spirit of good will, im planning a giveaway for one of my readers!  it's still in the brainstorm phase right now but im hoping to get it up on the blog next week before we're all tuckered out from un-wrapping presents, drinking egg nog, and singing christmas carols.
