Christmas Is Coming..

So, now that it's going to be the first of December tomorrow, I am starting to freak out a little about Christmas. I am ready for Christmas, but my bank account begs to differ. I knitted a pair of "Simple Autumn Mittens" for my friends, and now she asked me to knit another pair for her roommate for Christmas! Okay, when I knitted the first pair, I started knitting with a U.S. size three needle, and the mitten didn't fit over my hand at all, and I have tiny hands and my friend has big hands. I then went up to a U.S. size six needle (only because that was the only other needle size I had with me at school.) THANKFULLY, they worked out perfect! I would like to make myself a pair, but I would most likely have to go down a needle size for them to fit me. I think I'll just use the size six for her roommate too. For Christmas, my sisters and I draw names for each other instead of buying every one of us presents. I got my sister Liz, and she told me that she wanted a Jasmine coffee mug. Where do you find a Jasmine coffee mug in Minnesota without having to fly to Florida to Disney World? She sent me a picture of one that she liked, and it was $32. FOR A COFFEE MUG! She is the most difficult sister to buy for. I have no idea what I am going to do. With Christmas coming up, it also means only three weeks left of being at this school! FOREVER! I could not be any more excited! Only two weeks of normal classes and then a week of finals, but only three days for me! These next three weeks can not go any faster! Knitting and studying will help it go by quickly!
