I'm trying to figure out what I want for Christmas. I didn't really want anything last year and anything I wanted I got when I asked for it. A new notebook computer from Dell(although I'm definitely getting an iBook for my birthday), as much yarn as I could possibly want, books, magazines, software, etc. So, this year, I'm making a list of things I want so that, should The Honey be at wit's end for what to get for me, he can check here to make sure he's not getting me something totally ridiculous (although I'm pretty sure that's not possible).

The first thing that comes up, especially since I particularly want a Knitting Journal, is yarn and knitting/crocheting accoutrements. I'm making a wish list at my favourite yarn store. The yarn I want to make a sweater with is pretty expensive, but I think that it will be an awesome sweater (if I don't screw it up). I'm working on a sock right now and it's going awesome. I already want to try a sock in a different yarn that will actually match the clothes I work in, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not afraid to wear socks that have nothing to do with the colours I'm presently wearing.

My second thing is something electronic, whether it be a new digital camera or a spiffy cell phone, or a PDA for on the go notebooking. I don't really need any of these things, although getting a new digital camera would be really nice.

My third thing would be magazine subscriptions. I would like the subscriptions to a couple of writing magazines and a couple of knitting magazines. I would also like to join The Knitters Guild of America.

Of course, gift certificates to book type stores wouldn't be snubbed either, or specialty tea from Teavana, which would also be nice.

Finally, I would like a terry cloth type robe and cute little animal slippers, a video or two (the new Sound of Music with all the added features so I would have three copies, Cinderella, Serenity (best movie I've seen this year) or the box set for Firefly. I'm sure there are others, but that's all I can think of right now), maybe a few CDs ( something from Elliot Smith, or The New Pornographers or some bootleg Arcade Fire)

Well, that's all I can think of now. At least it's better than last year, where I just drew a big blank. And that ain't good.
