Amanda scored tickets to the National Tree Lighting ceremony last night at the White House. The sock went with us, as his friend is already complete and he needs to catch up to be done by the end of the month. When you arrive at a tree lighting ceremony around 3:30 and have to wait until 5pm for the action to start, a sock project comes in handy.  The needles also appear to be National Park Service approved, as they didn’t take them off of me when we went through the security check. (I was threatening to hide them in my pants if I had to)

How is everyone else doing on their pledge to knit a pair of socks or a fair isle project?

When the sun went down it got a little cold and Amanda whipped out her complete Traveling Woman done in Malabrigo Sock. (which we got in yesterday by the way…in the most amazing colors!)

If you think she looks cold, I assure you that the only one that was cold last night was ME. Amanda doesn’t appear to get cold.

Here is the tree, finally all lit up!
