On the Twelfth Day of Christmas...

... the Three Kings finally made it to the stable! We have a family tradition where the manger gets set up, minus the Baby Jesus (he shows up at midnight or so on Christmas morning, if we remember where we hid him) and the Kings travel all over the living room. They usually go across the mantel, over the windowsills, and finally get to the stable about the time the tree is gone and the rest of the room is cleared of most vestiges of Christmas. Well, not this year. It's been a bit busy and both D4 and I have been hacking and coughing so things are moving a little slowly.


However, I have managed a few things. My square for the Ships Project afghan is in the mail, and my Special Olympics scarf is done and ready to mail in the morning.




As far as floozy casting on, well, I got one thing started tonight while watching the first episode of the new season of Biggest Loser. This:



It's two colors of Encore Colorspun, Mistake Rib pattern, pretty fast and easy so maybe it will get done quickly.
I'm t hinking seriously of ripping out the basketweave scarf I started earlier in this Flooze-along, and redoing it in this pattern. I'll have to sleep on it, though, and maybe take soundings from the rest of the OOPs floozies.
Happy Twelfth Night (even though I'm posting this after midnight, so technically it's over. Pfffttt!).

Hey, The Twelfth Night is what you make it, right? It's before midnight somewhere in the world...

Enjoy! And I love the scarf!
