Tuesday

A day off! That is what I had today after working the last 4 Tuesdays! It was wonderful. Knitted alittle, cleaned alittle, did alittle laundry. Nothing special, but great to have some down time! I took down the last Christmas tree, kind of sad. They put such a smile on my face, that I left it up awhile. We had taken down our outdoor lights earlier when the snow had let up. We did not get them off the Christmas tree outside, but we pulled the plug. We ran into our neighbor lady the other night, and she said she missed seeing them each evening, so, we plugged them back in! Puts a smile on my face too!
What a COLD week. I really do not like even going outside at all. Getting really anxious to head south for a couple of days. That is still 2 months away though!
Getting alot more knitting done when it is so cold and dark. I have made 4 baby hats as gifts, working on the 5th. Knitted my grandson some socks. And still working on my sweater.
Stay warm and knit on!

Sunshine!

Sunshine! What a rare treat this time of the year! Gotta love it! I was lazy yesterday afternoon. Watched Dan in real life, and knitted a pinwheel washcloth, for me of course! Off to the gym to excercise tonight, and back to work tomorrow. Maybe more sunshine? Stay warm, and knit on!

Winter Blahs

Ok, so it has been along time since I bloged. I really dislike the cold and gray days! Christmas was wonderful! I finished all 7 sweaters for the grandkids, whew! I don't know if I will ever commit to a project like that again! Especially because our 8th grandchild is on the way! Due in June!
But, like I said, after Christmas it is all about me in my knitting! So I made a new pair of socks, and a chenille scarf for me already. A shorty sweater is in the works, as well as the afghan I started late summer. But.........I have also knitted 3 baby caps for gifts, just since Christmas!
I am so ready for Spring after the tough and gray December we had. I know, it's 3 months away, but maybe it will come early!!???
For those who love winter, enjoy, for the rest of us, knit on!
