Heartfelt Knitters Christmas Exchange 2014

This year our annual Christmas Secret Santa Exchange was at Lonni's house. Such a lovely house filled with holiday cheer! As always, we had a wonderful evening.


Of course all the Nancy's ended up tohether!



My Secret Santa was Sharon. She made me a lovely, soft, wonderful alpaca cowl. I LOVE it! :)




I was Secret Santa to Stephanie for the second year in a row! I made her the Gallatin Scarf. It can be found on my Ravelry page http://www.ravelry.com/projects/nancyducey/gallatin-scarf






Whenever we get together, someone inevitably has a story to tell. Some are funny, some are sad, some are heartwarming, and some are happy. Tonight our fearless leader Rose was the center of rather funny story. Every year she emails all the members and asks who wants to participate in the gift exchange. She puts our names on a slip of paper and we pick from a basket. Then at the Christmas party someone is chosen to give the first gift; the recipient gives the second gift; and so on. Tonight Rose had us pick numbers and we gave our gift in numeric order. Rose was last. I did not think anything of this. However, we got to Rose and Rose was the only one who did not receive a gift. Rose had Rose! How could this be???? WELL, the evening we all picked a number of the knitters were not there. The next week they picked from the remaining names. Rose realized she was short a name, so she put the name she had in the basket for them to pick from. Rose said every year she manages to mess this up! She had no idea whose name she lost, so made a lovely shawl (Sleeveheart) for her recipient. She had us take numbers and give in order so she could go last and give to whoever was left. Stephanie was the last one to give, before Rose. Kathy and Rose had not gotten a gift. Rose thought Stephanie had her and she had Kathy. Turns out Steph had Kathy and Rose had Rose!!! Too funny! Well Rose received a lovely shawl and gift certificate.



Enjoy every moment!
Nancy
