Yawn...
Nothing too exciting here. I'm getting ready for my trip and have been
working on some knitting. Made my seventh or is it eight Flower Basket
Shawl? Need to count again. While I was not knitting the shawls I worked
on some socks, made some progress on the Non-Huxtable sweater, and crotched
few dozen little flower pins. I have made the discovery that socks are the
perfect project for when you really want to watch TV. You can plop yourself
in front of the TV and knit anything, but if it's too complicated such as
yarn over or ssk or ktog patterns you really don't get to "watch." Sock
knitting is pretty mindless, so it is perfect when you want to really watch
TV.

It's been a while since I flown anywhere. The last time I was on a plane
was a pre-9/11 flight to Germany. I've read many conflicting information
about carry-on restrictions for knitting needles. I went
.pdf>here and read that even though knitting needles are allowed
screeners have the discretion to not allow permitted items on the plane.
So, can I bring them or not? Should I take my chances and carry on my Addi
Turbos?

Five cough drops, two cups of tea, 64 ounces of water, and my voice still
sounds like a fog horn. I'm just glad not to be congested with icky phlegm.
It just dry, really dry. Need to go home and rest.
How to feel old and un-hip: visit the I Heart Rummage sale. Went last
weekend to check it out and I felt really old afterwards. Lot's of young
kids being creative, which is cool. One vendor made some totally cool bags,
coin purses and make-up bags from pleather. She had great decorative
stitching on the front. I was really tempted to get one but held back. I
did manage to get her card. Maybe next month. Every other vendor at the
sale was knitting, even if they weren't selling knitting crafts. Another
vendor felted these cell phone cozies in these great alien like shapes;
they were great. There were also felted rings, strange sounding, I know,
but they were really unique and creative.

In two weeks I will be here. The day after my plane lands I will be on my way to the
Weihnachtsmarkt. They will have 150 booths full of crafts, food and drinks in
the square. I can't wait. Can't wait to taste some Gluhwein, mulled wine.
It is going to be so fun to experience Christmas in Germany. It's been over
three years since I was in Bonn. Since then I haven't gone anywhere, except
to move across the country.
This trip is the reason I am imposing a ban of Christmas music and
Christmas-themed movies in my home. One, I do not want to overdose on the
Christmas before my trip. And two, I can't recall and good Christmas movie
with the exception of "A Christmas Story."
