Crazyfoot is coming to my needles!

Did I get your attention? Don't worry about my sanity (we already know that is past question)...I'm so excited I can hardly handle it! My knitter friend in Great Falls has received her skein of this glorious new sock yarn from Mountain Colors Yarn...but as I'm fogged in at the farm, and the skein may be 28 miles south at the post office... waiting isn't easy! I wonder what color will be waiting for me? I wonder what to make from it? I'm past wondering how I got to be so lucky as to have been chosen to knit with it...it was meant to be!

Family and Funerals

Families often get together for weddings and funerals...this gathering was due to the passing of a great husband, father (in-law), grandpa, great-grandpa and more. Richard, you will be missed. Thank you for raising such wonderful kids!



















Who would have believed these three would have the same coat?!




















This large bouquet went to brighten the Nursing Home.







Mom sent a beautiful bouquet to share with the family and decorate the church...it came home with us. Thanks Mom!

Fire Palm Fog




I used the Vancouver Fog Mitts pattern, but my second pair would add 4 more stitches to the total cast on...and 5 stitches instead of 4 for the thumb. These also weren't the best to take to the wrestling meet...it took too much concentration!

Batman Arrives


So...do you think it is safe to post dear son's Christmas gift here? I guess I will find out if he reads it or not!

Surprise!

Lesa is amazing! She was my JH swap partner...which means I've been lucky twice. Lesa is a teacher also...did you notice the book, poster putty, and hand sanitizer? The Kisses will be put to good use. I had purchased some to bake into peanut butter cookies, but my family ate them first. Now I have some they don't know about...I can do stealth baking!

Then the yarnie stuff...wow! I love the needles, and I didn't have that size...you rock! Galway is a wonderful yarn...I think it will become some of Alice's New Moon Mitts. The bag will become an emergency knitting case...with the Knit Picks Dakota yarn being the first part of the kit. I'm in love with the Baby Alpaca Grande Hand Dyed yarn...it is so soft and beautiful. I need to find the perfect project for it!

Thank you, Lesa...I'm very lucky to call you my friend.

Oh...I can't forget the Christmas card either...I now have stamps so mine can go out soon!






Someone will be getting a Mountain Colors Cap (knit with two strands of this glorious yarn) for Christmas. It will help keep a loved one warm!

Baby, it is cold outside!



This is what the front door at the apartment...the -18F was creeping into my living space!





This should help keep me warm!
