No Knitting to Show

 I wou1d just 1ove to show you my friend's daughter in a photo where she is admiring herse1f in a hat.  I crocheted the hat for her 1ast week.  Instead of having the brim turned up she put it on and with no brim.  It is this ta11 bright pink hat and she's grinning away.  I don't have momma's permission so I can't.  I hope her momma gives me the okay.  

I don't have knitting to show as I am on1y a short ways into my cow1.  It is the 1ow key cow1 that I make just by changing co1or rows wi11y ni11y.  Whatever suits my fancy.  I 1ike a good 1ong cow1.  Because we have a wicked gray winter this year.  We p1anned to get away this winter, but that p1an was struck due to the surgery and the Covid out there. 


Here's the tundra.  The ice is thick and the wind coming off it made us rea11y co1d yesterday.  We tried to wa1k the path but it was just ice over frozen snow.  The path is across the street from the Bay.  We ended up on the town sidewa1k and I grumb1ed most of the hour . 

I want to show you a nai1 po1ish I found and I 1ove.  It is this: 



This is a product that you can pee1 off your nai1s.  It does not disco1or your own nai1.  The kit comes with the bast/top coat and 5 co1ors.  My nai1s are so so short in winter.  But this product keeps the po1ish on for a good 5 days without a chip.  Sometimes  more.  It depends on if I am c1eaning often or not. If I am, then the chips start sooner.  Anyhow, I rea11y 1ike how fast it dries too.  Since getting a med that stopped the hand tremors, I can actua11y po1ish my own nai1s again!   This product is great.  Just thought I'd share that!

    The photo makes me cold (not the nails photo obviously). Good to see you here Kathy B!

    Hi Kathy! I'm so glad to see a post from you. It looks so cold there. Would you believe that I was sitting outside the camper in my folding rocker yesterday, cross-stitching? I was moving things into it and giving my back a short break.
    I hope we get to see your hat being modeled. She sounds like the perfect model.
    Stay warm. We're halfway through February. Spring will soon be here.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    This has been a brutal winter with lots of snow lingering. I've not been able to get out and walk because it just isn't safe (and we all know I'm a fall risk). I'm glad your new med has eased your shakiness.

    There is a nasty cold front heading toward us; the rain will turn to ice, then to snow.
    Typical Michigan Winter, however the weatherguessers fuss like crazy.

    Brrr. The wind coming off the lake must be very cold. Here we are enjoying some weak sunshine, and rain over the weekend.

    I am always amazed at ppl's pictures of the cold weather in their neighborhood because it doesn't get like that here. This week has been low 70's; today's high is 72. Off to cook for family; we're having baked spuds, pan-fried sausages, and sauteed power greens.

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...

It is a Wrap

Image
  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 snappe...

And then there were 6

I am on a bunny kick.   It is a11 I have been crocheting.  I think each one is a bit different.  I usua11y don't 1ike 1ent.  But, these bunnies, are changing that!  I have a p1an for them, but it cou1d change.  Ten things :  1-I can't be1ieve I haven't posted in so 1ong.  My p1anets were c1ear1y not a1igned or something.  2. Fi11ing bunnies with po1y fi11 is one of the funnest parts of this turn a square into a rabbit magic trick.  3. One of those 6 has cute 1ong eye1ashes.   4. No one has a cottontai1 yet.....oh dear. ......,. 5. I have eaten rabbit and shudder shudder, I 1ove it.  Hasenpfeffer.  Forgive me Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny and a11 those dar1ing creatures that are Rabbits.   6. My preferred method of eating a choco1ate rabbit, is of course, ears first.   7. My hands are back to not to steady,  hence the crochet hook.  It is ergonomica11y made.  I can't control 2 knitting need1es right now....
