Christmas Yarning

{Yarning Along with Ginny this week...}

I managed to finish all but one of my planned Christmas knits, and I'll share them here over the next few days. 

The boys' hats I knit for them 2 years ago were looking pretty scruffy, so I went on the hunt for a great kid hat pattern. I didn't have to look far- the Zsa Mask fit everything my superhero-loving boys could like in a hat, and was the perfect fast knit to throw into my holiday knitting plans. They've already been dubbed "Batman Masks" and were worn so much on Christmas day that I had to issue an anti-hat ordinance lasting the length of bath time.

I've been laboring my way through The Mark of Athena and reminding myself that long ago I agreed not to read any more Rick Riordan... the books take me forever to get through (because I'm just not that interested) and the writing isn't great... but I saw that the third in the trilogy was coming out and it seemed like a good idea to finish the set. I'm almost 2 months into this little book for some crazy reason. My husband keeps telling me to just move on, but there is something in me that compels me to finish books that I start, no matter how weird/boring/badly written I find the book to be. Is it just me?
