Yarn Gift from my daughter . This Christmas!


 Okay if this site gives me issues...........I dunno. I just dunno.  

Todays photos: Yesterday was a bust.  I'm happy with you seeing the charity knit there.  This is Uneek number 69 sock yarn.  My dear daughter gifted it to me for Christmas. It is tempting me.  For now, however, I continue to knit for charity. I am on to a easy bright pink scarf.  

The green mug was a gift.  You can imagine it is heavy, but it is not.  I'm surprised when I pick up my coffee!  

I'm reading a book you can pick up and just read a few fun pages, at a time.  C. Berens wrote the Midwest Guide.   There is information on how many minutes it takes us to say a goodbye.  He teaches us ranch dressing must accompany most dishes.  Hot dishes.  He teaches us about stop and go, Kwik Mart etc.  I have to say Gas Station cuisine was never on  my radar.  I gotta say, the Kwik Mart makes the most amazing banana cake.  It is the frosting and the bananas of course, that make it so good.   I think they have the best cinnamon buns anywhere.  ANYWHERE.  Before we moved, gas station food consumption was not approved.  Now it is a destination.  "Hey, want to go to the Kwik mart?  Pick up a few brownies? " 

Here at Winter camp, we hope for a good snow pack for our hikes.  If you read Kim, and most of you do! she went winter caching.  Perhaps Fireman and I might try.  It might be fun.  Have you tried it? 

Fireman's painting by number again.  It is great for him.  Frame worthy!

How are you?  It is good to be back.  I've decided to use Irisheyes for my format.  Use photos. AND, not use any words that substitute numbers for consonants....

hows that for a New years you know what?

    Such a pretty mug. The yarn will make some lovely socks for someone. I'm glad I found my way here. We've had a week of snow - highly unusual and highly enjoyable!

    I found you again! Love that pretty sock yarn. We're having our first snow of the season on Saturday. At least that's what the forecasters say. Anywhere from 3-15 inches, depending on the channel! I can't believe we will have actually gotten to January 1 with no snow, can you?
    I've actually read the Midwest Guide. I don't remember all of it, just parts. It was pretty acurate from my recollection. :-)
    So glad you're back!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

It is a Wrap

  So, I wanted to get back to one wrap as soon as the charity knits were in town . This is the Tea Time Wrap and you have seen it before.  It is using soft yarn that requires size 10 and size 3's to make the garter ridge every 7 inches or so.  It is great to knit with this pattern . It behaved just as great as it did in November.  I just have 49 inches or more to go.  I don't mind a bit.   It is beyond bitter and wintery here.   The campers were daring and hiked the River path yesterday.  It was 28 out and we were dressed for it.   Sometimes we break down and buy an extra accessory.  Have I shown you this Bag before?   It is not cat proof.  But it keeps your stitches on the row because it has two spots to push through.  The remaining stitches and yarn stay put in the bag.  I adore this bag.  Dare I say anything about winter when we get these sunsets every night? We didn't ask for it . But, I noticed it and snapped a shot for you.  IT is dangerous out there today . The wind

Adios 2021

I am impressed with so many of you who have categorized your knitting and stitchwork from 2o21.  You know you impress the heck out of me with your finishes.  Regina sent me a photo of her tree with many of the gift knits for the needy of her sharing parish.  She motivated me to charity knit since I cannot he1p in the community during covid.  This is impressive:  She is current1y knitting up a cozy throw.  I'm working on a hot pink scarf.   Kat, and Honore and Va1, I just cannot get onto your sites.  It is very frustrating to me.  I'm going to try on a different computer.  I don't want to miss your thoughts as we wave Adios to 2021.  I am so happy that I didn't know what was coming in 2021.  Fireman's surgery was quite the event.  I adore that man.  I thank God I didn't know his tumor was going to grow.  Surgery was not fun, never is.  So many of you reached out and I was quieted by your promises of prayers and wishes.   Teresa's death was so devastating to u
