Christmas is in the neighbourhood. The lights are on the houses along with the Christmas decor around the windows and doors.The reindeer are on the front lawns.You know Christmas is around the corner when the Santa Claus parade is this weekend. I'm in the mood for knitting hats and mitts and scarves. The days are getting brisk first thing in the morning. Now's the time to knit a cozy afhgan or a throw, to wrap around you by the fire at the end of the day. Leg warmers and fingerless gloves are in fashion and are worn when you're walking a long distance. So stay warm and bundle up in your hand knitted hats, mitts and scarves etc. Happy Shopping and Happy Knitting!
