Eastburn Adventures

Seriously, I'm not sure I'm gonna make it. I'm the type of person who has her Christmas shopping completely done by October, and wrapped by Thanksgiving. This year - I don't know what happened. I'm not done shopping; I've not wrapped a single gift; I've not decorated the house. We do have a tree up - thank goodness it's prelit - but there's no ornaments on it at all. It's sad - it's just so sad.

I'm also behind on knitting Christmas gifts. I know I said I'd give myself a break and not worry if I didn't get everything done, but I've still got 1/2 a scarf and two pairs of socks that I was planning to make. The scarf will get done, and maybe I'll be able to post a photo of it soon, but the socks are a different story. Fortunately, the recipients know they're getting them and are fine on waiting. I just want to get back into my Ravelry queue and start knitting some stuff for me again!

Speaking of Ravelry, there was a forum post a week or so ago where people were making up new ravelrized verses to sing to Christmas songs. I had to join in on the fun, so here's my new song, to be sung to the tune of "Mary, Did You Know?" (If you don't know the song, click here to hear Clay Aiken sing it.)

Casey, did you know
That the knitters love the site you have created?
Casey, did you know
That the grand opening is much anticipated?
Did you know that we spend so much time on Ravelry?
That we've had to install more high speed – from AT&T.

Casey, did you know
That we love to search through all of the patterns?
Casey, did you know New techniques and tips, this site has helped us all learn?
Did you know that you've given us such a marvelous gift?
There's nothing better for a Type A personality that knits.

Casey, did you know That we've connected with new friends in every nation?
Casey, did you know When someone favorites us, it's a great sense of elation?
Did you know that we adore all the little things you add?
And when Bob is N R Servers, it makes us feel so sad?

Our stashes grow, our queues overflow, our WIPs will never end. Our libraries are full, the groups are cool, our favorites are so grand!

Casey, did you know
That you are the best Code Monkey in the whole world?
Casey, did you know That we're so glad you were inspired by FreckleGirl?
Did you know that with famous knitters, you've helped us to hobnob?
And someday we hope that we get a big wet kiss – from - BOB!
