post christmas

So I'll start where I left off, since there are some of you that are giving me hell about not updating.

We spent the holiday's with JF's family mostly in Lévis (near Québec city). JF's grandfather loved his socks here is a finished pic of them:

They fit really well which was very important cause he has some circulation issues and is very sensitive to even slightly tight socks.

Ever since I've been in Montreal I've been making a whole dory-load (sorry for the Newfoundland reference it just came out) of Christmas cookies. This year I tried so hard to limit my amounts because I always make myself sort of sick I work so hard. Here are some of this years cookies (a few batches were done at the last minute and not photographed).

No knitting was done at all over christmas. I was working on a test knitting project that can't really be blogged anyway, but I left it behind with a few gifts that we also forgot so it really didn't advance. Since then I've almost finished it despite a few brick walls that got in the way (hurdle is too nice).

In other news my kitten is no longer a kitten. He's so fat and huge. He's not even a year old and he's 13lbs. Check it out:

and just to refresh our memories, here he is on the first day I had him:

I have just two questions; How did this happen and why couldn't he have stayed that small and cute? :o(
