The three Kings are all on the largest doll - you can see each one as you turn it round.
I really love it, and wish that we'd bought one for us too! The second Christmas decoration is a little tealight holder with a propeller 'hat' that turns with the warmth of the candle. We lit it last night, just to try it out, and it looked so pretty! I do like having lots of candles lit over Christmas, don't you?
I don't have much knitting to show you today. The edging on my McCafferty shawl is progressing slowly. This is partly due to the fact that Henrycat has been needing lots of cuddles and lap time this week because of all the fireworks going off. Fingers crossed that I'll get it finished this week. I can't wait to get snuggled up with it! Here's a little sneak preview of the edging. I've pulled it out roughly into shape with pins so you can get some idea of how it's going to look when it's all done.
I've decided to follow Ozzy Blackbeard's brilliant idea of knitting one Innocent Smoothie hat each week. That way, by the time they need to be sent off next October, I should have a pretty good collection of them. So to start of my 2011 collection, here's Belinda Bear........

We were in Chester yesterday .. it was horrendously busy. It was as though everyone has suddenly realised Christmas is coming!!!
I'm making an early start this year too!
Love Kathy xxx
I'm going to do as much of my Christmas shopping on-line as possible! That's what Amazon Prime is for! I thinks some will have to be done in town as well but it's not payday until next week so it must wait. I love the Russian dolls, where did you get them? The other decoration is lovely as well.
Your knitting is looking great, can't wait to see the finished shawl.
I too am getting worried about the approach of Christmas. I've actually started shopping instead of going into denial or buying things and pretending they are presents when really they are for me. The dolls are gorgeous and i remember those turning candle decorations from when I was at school, a very long time ago. Have a good week.
Such pretty decorations. I'd love to know where they came from, especially the Russian dolls. I have a special little person who I would love to buy a set for. I really love the shawl and that cute little hat. What a great idea. I need to make a commitment to join you on this one, as I feel very guilty that I didn't even manage one this year. Have a good week. Rosx
The matruschkas are lovely!
Can't wait to see your shawl finished.
Yours, Julia
I love the decorations. I got a Russian Doll deccy in Acessorise last week. It's Santa, Rudolph, a snowman and a robin. My sister has a candle deccy too, but it has angels on it, and it very lovely.
Your shawl is looking fab, and I love the wee hat! I did another one yesterday.
i'm so impressed with your organization and early holiday shopping! you're amazing!!
love the nesting dolls - what fun, i'm sure they'll be loved, how could they not? they're adorable!
Just discovered your blog & am enjoying it immensely! Love the tiny hat on the little bear - now I must go find out just what an "Innocent Smoothie" is.
Happy Knitting!
