In this episode, I talk about all the Christmas knitting I finished up (huge FO parade, well, not really a parade because I only have pics of most) and that I have been fairly monogamous lately. I blame Megan,  justrunknit . I forgot to mention a wonderful new podcast,  A Down Under Yarn  by one of our very own, Fiona!  fifikins . She is so funny! And already being mentioned on many of the more popular podcasts, you go girl! I am so happy for you! Please forgive me for my forgetfulness. I will try to remember for next week!

Shortly after I filmed this episode, I found out that my dad had died, and I needed to run to Dallas to be with my family. The quilt I show that I made for my brother became extra meaningful when I gave it to him. Thank you all for your condolences and prayers during this time.

NOTE: I had not learned about the school shootings in CT when I recorded today. My thoughts are with the families.

No show notes this week, Dad is still in the hospital.
