12.24: Unravelish

Details will have to wait.

Ginny wore her beret all evening.

And so did Malina. They both fit wonderfully.

Oh my god, aren’t they the cutest??

Junah’s hat was finished this afternoon, washed & is drying… jury is still out. It’s a little small, which isn’t the end of the world because it will definitely fit someone else… and it was a SUPER quick knit, so I can easily whip out another.

I didn’t get to the cuffs of Davy’s mittens, but he “tried them on” and they fit… just wound some yarn this evening to get going with that. One of four mittens caught the fancy of Kai, so I’m glad I made extra!

Our big holiday hullabaloo was this afternoon/evening, so the next four days are all about relaxing, finishing some things, packing away most of Christmas, readying the Airbnbs, making scalloped potatoes & ham (with the leftovers from today) (yum), and connecting/spending time with each other.

Deadline knitting.

Two pairs of Snowball Throwin’ Mittens… one slightly larger than the other. Currently propped against the heat register in the kitchen to finish drying. I haven’t decided what yarn(s) I’ll use for the cuffs. Meanwhile, I’m about halfway through a beret for Malina. And probably casting on a hat for Junah tomorrow.

I got some wrapping done today!

That’s all.

Items for under the tree!

It’s the 11th year that I’ve participated in a Jólabókaflóð exchange, and my gift(s) arrived today! The package I sent out was received by its recipient yesterday.

I haven’t done any other gift wrapping yet — maybe tomorrow??

3TT: Three Things on Thursday

Three Things on Thursday — My NYT Year in Games!

Thing 1. The graphic.

Infographic summarizing the New York Times Year in Games for 2025, displaying statistics such as most-played game, average guesses to solve Wordle, top connections category solved first, pangrams count, genius count, and longest strands streak.

Those aren’t even my favorite NYT Games!

Thing 2. I don’t know about you (if you even play these games), but there’s an order… I usually start with Spelling Bee, but don’t have the patience (or maybe the will) that I once had for that game, so I usually find a few words and then move on. Second on the list is the Mini Crossword (unless I already did it the night before). Third is either Connections or Wordle (I’ve been switching that up). Then Letter Boxed, then Strands, and finally Pips!

Thing 3. Those last three — Letter Boxed, Strands & Pips — are my favorites, and I’d love some stats on those! Maybe next year!
