My mother and I compare projects and knit together on Christmas Day. She's been a knitting fool over the Katia Triana specialty fiber. I've been ga-ga about Misti Alpaca that I got on a severe close-out. (severe close-out was 70% off!) Before the day was done, we went out on the Jimmy Beans Wool website and bought 10 balls of Katia Triana. These projects are just too much fun!!! Oh, by the way, this sexy pink one was a Christmas gift to my little sister and I was hamming it up for a Ravelry picture. It's a sibling rivalry thing.

This afghan is an oldie but a goodie, hand-knit by my mother, Charleen. Each year I am excited to unpack it and display it and bask in it's Christmas ambiance. The festive hat is my idea of a good time. I am told it is reminiscent of what the Whos wore in Whoville in the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas". I like that.
