So it’s Christmas Eve and my sisters birthday. She’s coming round later. It’s Christmas Day tomorrow I hope everyone has a great day and gets to spend time with loved ones.

The solstice has been and gone and now light is slowly coming back. Daylight hours are getting longer and longer. It will be spring soon with lambs bouncing round and time to give children chocolate fertility symbols. If you follow Christianity or another religion let’s use this time to spread love and light round the world and fill our hearts with it.

I finished my Christmas gift knitting the other day. I have wrapped one gift I just need to do the others. I finished crocheting the kiwi bird yesterday and that looks cool.

What do you think?

I’ve also started doing some other little bits of knitting I’m not studying though, they’ll be done when they’re done. 9 inch circular needles are great though. They make thinks so much easier. Just to point out though that circular needles are ace. I absolutely love the set of interchangeable I have. ChiaoGoo Twist Interchangeable needles.

I haven’t been knitting very long, only about 18 months and I’ve only had this set for about 4 of them but as I’ve already said they a freeking amazing. Not sure if you know or not but you can also do straight flat knitting on them too. Because they are small I find it easier to hold them and if you drop a needle it doesn’t go very far only the distance of the cable length.

I’m struggling to deal with noise today. I’ve also been off for most of this week. My eyes keep having dance parties where they dart all over the place, dizziness has been there and so has the pain. I’m determined that today and tomorrow it will not get me down. I will not let it.

I think most of it is because of the time of year, tiredness and stuff being moved about a lot. I’ve also been having crap thoughts going through my head about those close to me. It makes me worried about the future. I’m trying to distract myself with other things but sometimes it doesn’t stop them and sometimes it does. But I will focus on good things and now and try as hard as I can to stay happy.

Over the last few days I listened to three full book. It’s a series of books by Joseph Delaney called the Wardstone Chronicles. They’re set in Lancashire and are about people who fight the dark called spooks. The dark is all the bad stuff like ghosts, ghasts, witches, boggarts and other nasty things. I like them I’ve listened to them before but think they’re really cool books. If you get the chance I’d recommend reading them or listening to them. I’ve had them playing while I’ve been doing my knitting and other bits.

Anyway be good and have a great Christmas.

Love and light.
