Christmas Glory, Beauty and the many coloured blanket knit and given at Christmas!

My blanket is finished,

we had a beautiful Christmas Eve and 

Christmas!

I am so excited to tell you all about it for

this week's yarn along with Ginny!

For Christmas time we rented a small one room suite

that with two crock pots, two burners and a lot of 

creativity, we had our Holy Supper!

I have been dreaming about this for so long!

Used the same table cloth as I always used,

one that my Mother gave me.

Mr. Husband and I had our Holy Supper

Christmas Eve {Jan 6} with dear friends.

Borscht, Perogies, Fried Mushrooms,

Candied Ginger, Fresh Dried Apricots, 2 kinds of Nuts, 

Bread, a Green Salad, Hot Fruit Salad, clementines, apples, chocolate 

and organic apple cider made up our many dishes.

Icons lit ~ small candles left over from Mr. Husband and I's 

wedding reception. 

Icons of Holy Nativity, Holy Trinity, Mother of God and St. Nicholas :)

The Beloved Yarn Quilt, which was also called my

September School Blanket

but is now my Christmas Many Coloured Blanket

was given to the beloved 5 year old by for Christmas.

Ravelry here.

 We went to the beautiful Christmas Eve vigil 

after the Holy Supper and gifting of

the many coloured blanket!

The church was so beautiful!

So wonderful to light candles for so many I love

on Christmas Eve!

St. Nicholas...

 Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Born on Christmas Day!

Today for us on the Julian calendar is the 

second day of Christmas!

I got a belated birthday money that I am going to use

to buy some double pointed needles as I 

want to make Mr. Husband some socks!

It will be a lot of learning!

I was given a wonderful gift on sock knitting

from a dear church & blog friend

that I am already reading 

with great attention!

*

Also for my birthday my Mom via my Aunt Pat

gave me my Oma's knitting book from 1947

and in time I hope to do a sock pattern from there,

though I may start with one from Ann Budd's book.

So lots of knitting reading is to be had!

*

Tonight Mr. Husband and I are going to have a simple

Christmas dinner at home

and present opening! 

I have a feeling I may have more books to read soon! :)

*

I think I am going to do another big blanket project of squares but 

will have to think on it!

*

What are you knitting, creating and reading?

Yarn along with us!

To all those in the 12 days of Christmas like we are:

Wishing you the joy of the Feast!

*

Merry Christmas!

*

Christ is Born!

Glorify Him!
