Knitting is a great Stress reliever and it's fun to "see" what others are knitting up ---- expecially Socks!

This is Chase modeling his hat. Isn't he cute. He has such rosey cheeks.
Picture #2
This is Chase's hat! I really like this pattern. You use shortrow to shape the ears. This hat fits snuggly on the head.
This is a "none" knitted Christmas project. "Neck warmers". I made them with Polar fleece and flax seed. I'm making them for my friends at work. You heat them in the microwave for 2minute ... then ahhhhhh warmth for your sore neck.
This is the Oven Mitt felted.
This is the 2nd OvenMitt I've made for a Christmas present... it will probabably be the last. I made the thumb knitting waste yarn across 12 stitches and later taking out the waste yarn and knitting the thumb.

This is the "Oven Mitt" after being felted. It turned out just a little large - but it will serve it's purpose!

This is the oven mitt before felting. I put a 3 x 5 Index card as a indicator as to how big this mitt is. Hopefully it will felt up a little or it will be huge. I need to get this done and start another. Both are christmas presents.
Well these are the thumbless mittens I made for Chase. He was wearing them last night at his mom's hockey game. I just made "2 Toes". I k1/p1 ribbing for 1" for the cuff, then I cord all around!

WIP - The butttonhole purse is almost done. I finished the mittens for Chase and I’m almost done with his hat. I’m making a hat for DD with beads. Will work on that tonight at knitting. I will try and post pictures this weekend. I got a new camera! What I’m Doing – Getting ready for Christmas. I’ve been baking and purchasing gifts. I will to go knitting tonight and the Guild tomorrow. It’s finally warmed up now is 37 degrees and wet.
What Audio Books I’m Listen to - I just finished "Susannah’s Garden by Debbi MacComber and The Vendetta Defesne by Lisa Scottoline. Both very good.
Weather – High 37 Low 24… Clear and wet. Winds NE 3-15
1st and foremost - I love the Lord. I love my famiy very much and have worked at the same place for 45 years.Most of all I love being "NaNa" to my grandsons 10,7, 5, and 2 years. I need my Day planner and calendar (just a plain 3x5 notebook.)
I feel lost without my TO DO list. I've worked since I was 14 years old. I've had a library card since I can remember.
I go to libraries when we're on vacation. I started knitting when I was 5 years old. I like to listen to audio books while I'm knitting. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable.
