A question

So I'm currently full of cold, my sons been dropped off at school and I've started me leave for the holidays, the perfect time for knitting.

But before I can start knitting I have to find the perfect thing to watch while I knit. Today's choice is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. When I'm knitting I like something familiar to watch, something I know by heart ideally so I don't mind missing the occasionally bit if there's a stitch I need to concentrate on. But it also needs to be something cheery, I don't know why, but I don't like knitting to anything miserable! And no action films either, too distracting!!

So for me, its usually a musical that wins, perfect for knitting to, similarly period dramas fit the bill quite well.

What about everyone else? Is there anything in particular you like to watch while you knit?

Santa's Little Helper

With 10 days to go, my Christmas knitting is all done!

It feels a bit weird not having a huge list of projects to complete now, but I guess it's time to return to making my Heliotrope vest, it's a pattern form the Unofficial Harry Potter Knits book, and it's easily the hardest thing I've ever attempted, so wish me luck!
