		<title>Getting In The Spirit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing gets me quite in the spirit for Christmas like decorations. Actually, you string up some fairy or pinpoint white lights (or colorful ones for that matter) any day of the year and I'll grin from ear-to-ear. So, to kick off the beginning of this holiday season, I am posting a few of my favorite Christmas decorations. Some I have, some I admire, all I share with you.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=freckledpast.wordpress.com&blog=5032710&post=2192&subd=freckledpast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Classic V-Neck Pullover Sweaters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started thinking about this book I read ‘Entre Nous’ by Debra Ollivier and how I had a few versatile v-neck lightweight pullovers (brown, black, etc…) that didn’t make the cut, but I quickly regretted their loss when I arrived since I love to layer. In my first month here, I had found a replacement in a neutral gray. This got me thinking because the previous pullovers were decent enough, but I had multiple colors and as poly-blends they started to look a bit worse for wear after a year’s use. My new pullover was mostly cotton and somehow coordinates with just about everything eliminating the need to own more than one of the same style. It might have been obvious to you, but it was an ah-ha moment for me. Here are some lovely pullover v-neck sweaters that are built to last…<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=freckledpast.wordpress.com&blog=5032710&post=2183&subd=freckledpast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Enjoy a Byte of an Apple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been wrapped up in life and neglected my usual posts for this blog, but knowing that the holiday season is the most popular for gifts it is back in full force for the next month! The hot deal everyone is talking about today is Apple’s Black Friday offers. Apple seems to be a favorite of just about everyone year-round. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=freckledpast.wordpress.com&blog=5032710&post=541&subd=freckledpast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mmm, New Yarn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This summer has been a slow one for yarn acquisition. In June, I splurged on €30 of wool from Phildar in France, but since then I’ve just been relishing in what I have. Perhaps now that I’ve been knitting a few months my standards have gone up or maybe I’ve just been too busy to shop. Whatever the reason, it was a treat to become the proud owner of two new hanks from Hedgehog Fibres. I can’t stop touching the stunningly soft Silk Worsted in Swamp and can’t wait to knit up the Silk/Merino Worsted in Opalite. The Opalite will be a hat for sure, but the Swamp Silk may become something a bit more creative. 
Months ago, I would have debated buying Hedgehog Fibres yarn because of the $30/hank price tag, but now they’re just $23 per 100 grams of knittable love! But after I held and photographed Carol’s Silk Worsted and Sock-weight Cashmere/Merino, my fate was sealed. Of course, with delicious hues like Underworld and Lobster, who can resist?!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=freckledpast.wordpress.com&blog=5032710&post=2150&subd=freckledpast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
