Oh the joys of knitting!\u00a0 I prefer crocheting because it\u2019s so much more forgiving and much easier to correct if you make a mistake, which I do fairly often.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t believe that three months from today is Christmas day.\u00a0 I can\u2019t believe that one month from today I will be packing to come back to the Netherlands as my trip to Canada will be over.\u00a0 Where is the time going?<\/p>\n<p>I am pretty sure that people are going to think I fell off the face of the earth over the next few months, because I am going to be squirreled away in my house surrounded by knitting needles, crochet hooks, yarn and cross stitches.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully they will all forgive me on Christmas when they receive their gifts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh come on!
