The Best/Worst Month

What a month this is turning out to be!  I love it, and I hate it…

The amazing bits of December:

• I’m Designer of the Month at Ginger Twist Studios!  Jess has some of my patterns for sale in the shop, and there are samples at the shop to try on.  How exciting!

• I’ve taught another fantastic class in Edinburgh.  Thanks to all my students at That Polished Knit at Be Inspired Fibres.  We had a great time and learned a lot of techniques.
• We just had a lovely visit and holiday with my husband’s parents.  We took off a week and a half and did some travelling – Oxford, Stratford-Upon-Avon and York, PLUS Trent graduated from University of Edinburgh!  Yay Dr Orme, PhD!  We had such a nice time with them.

• I’ve got another class coming up next weekend too: Intarsia at Ginger Twist!  We’ll be working on my new hat pattern, which will be released online soon too.

            

So there are a lot of great things going on this month that I am SO excited about!

However, this is also my last month in Scotland, so at the same time this is a little difficult for me.  We’ve met with the landlord, selling our stuff like mad, began packing up and are squaring things away.  I’ve even started to have my first few goodbyes with friends.  These goodbyes are hard, but it’s a part of life.  We will be home two weeks from now, and I’m pretty excited, but there is so much to do first!  Ok now, back to packing…
