Summary: Hello from an unseasonably mild Cheshire Plain. This episode is another brief one, just to keep me sane I think... <br> <br> On the Needles: I now have a pair of finished <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/mrs-beeton-2">Mrs Beeton</a>, knit in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK and Debbie Bliss Party Angel in pale greys. The ends are not yet woven in and I need to wrap them soon. I cast on a second pair using the charcoal DB Cashmerino DK but it won't be finished. I'm also using my first ever wheelspun yarn to make a small scarf for my Dad, using the <a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2006/10/12/one_row_handspun_scarf.html">One Row Handspun Scarf</a> pattern by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. No photos I'm afraid. Half finished and unlikely to be for Christmas morning. <br> <br> Something I really Like: <a href="http://youtu.be/NQkF7fpw-wI">Christmas Countdown</a> by Frank Kelly <br> <br> Music: Intro music is Sans Day Carrol-Sussex Carol-Deck The Halls by James Edwards, from the Magnatune Compilation album Christmas Music and the piece in the middle is Six Noels Anciens: Venez mes enfants (Patriquin) by Stephane Potvin and the Con Brio Choir, from Goode Christemas Musicke, both available from <a href="http://magnatune.com/">Magnatune</a>. The final piece is Boars Head Carol performed by Jon Boden, released as part of the <a href="http://www.afolksongaday.com/">Folk Song A Day</a> podcast project. <br> <br> We have a <a href="http://www.zeemaps.com/228047">listeners' map</a>!
