Pick-Me-Up

Tomorrow is a holiday here in the States.  People have been preparing for days.  Lines are long, traffic is tangled, tempers are short. 

I think I spend more time gathering all the ingredients for the feast than I do actually cooking it.  I've made my last grocery store run.  If we don't have it by now, we don't need it.  At this point I'm a bit weary of the celebration, and it hasn't even started yet.  I knew I would be feeling this way, so I devised a plan for a little pick-me-up.

A new yarn base to go with a new pattern.  A little holiday treat.

But I promised myself it would have to wait until I finish my work for today.  It's pie baking day, and the list is long.
