This is our Christmas tree. It’s a fiber-optic tree that we deliberatly got small so it would fit in our window-seat. Around the base is a snowy winter village complete with people, trees and an aluminum foil skating rink. 🙂 Because the tree itself is so colorful (the fiber-optic filaments change from white to green to blue to red to purple and back) we only decorate it with silver accessories.

Yannick and I put up our holiday decorations Sunday night. My family is coming over to exchange Hanukah presents next Saturday night and we wanted the house to be ready. This pic shows our side front window. The stained glass was a housewarming gift made by Yannick’s sister. The two side pictures are holiday signs I printed and put up in our window. You can see the Christmas tree through the other window so I wanted something Hanukah-y to show from the outside too.

This is a close-up of the Steeplechase pattern. I really didn’t think it would come out because a) it’s black, and b) it’s subtle. It’s a combination of eyelet Vs with stockinette and garter blocks. I’m really impressed that my phone camera caught such great detail…in fact the pic of the shrug also came out great, it was the first pic that shows the colors, even the green flecks in all that red and orange. Hmm…not bad for my new toy! 🙂

This is the Steeplechase Vest from a Knit ‘n Style magazine that I’m making for Yannick’s mom as a Christmas gift. You can’t really see it in this pic ‘cus the whole front is on the needle so I can do the button band (1 piece from right front around neck to left front). The whole body is done, I did a 3ndl BO on the shoulders so the seam there looks AMAZING, and I did the ribbing on the armholes already too. Once the button band is done and I sew on the buttons (not bought yet) I’ll be done.
