What’s up - Well our friend Pauline is in the hospital. Heart. She had 2 stents put in yesterday. I guess it was touch and go. PTL she’s better.

What I’m Doing – Friday Night Knit tonight. I will miss Pauline. I’m planning on working on the “Dutchess Helmet Hat”. I really liked the “Thrum Mitten” class. When I went home I frogged and started over as my gauge was not good.
WIP – The “Entrelac Scarf” is on hold. My niece had her baby yesterday so I need to start her baby sweater. I bought the yarn sooo. I better get going.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I’m still listen to “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks read by Holster Graham on my IPod, and “Facets” by Barbara Delinsky read by Joyce Bean. I also finish the playaway “Fall on Your Knees” by Ann-Marie MacDonald. It was 3****

What’s up - It’s Friday. It’s cold and it’s been snowing. My DH went to the cabin today to check on things…so I get to go knitting early. I hope to pick up Pauline and bring her. She sounds like she’s doing better. Had allot of test this week. My wonderful friend Bobbie went to be with the Lord yesterday. I’m so sad. She was a wonderful knitter and quilter and Stain glass creator. She was my mentor and there’s a big hole in my heart right now.

What I’m Doing – Friday Night Knit tonight with Pauline. I hope to work on my baby sweater. I signed up for a “Thrum Mitten” class with the Knitters of the North our local guild. I’ve got my homework done. I will post a picture.

WIP – The “Entrelac Scarf” is coming along… I am suffering through it and I’m on my 3rd skein. The “Zigzag” fingerless gloves.. well I had to frog back because after weighing on the post scale I did not have enough yarn. Gulp. I plan on finishing “Blue Baby Boy” sweater this week so I can start on my nieces baby sweater. Her baby is due the end of Feb. and I have the yarn I just want to finish one before I start another.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I’m still listen to “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks read by Holster Graham on my IPod, and “Facets” by Barbara Delinsky read by Joyce Bean.

Low 19F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.

Let it snow???
I'd rather be here!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow

What I’m Doing – Friday Night Knit tonight!!!! Yeah. It’s been 3 weeks. I’ve been on vacation til the 3rd of January, then I had a family medical emergency. My very best friend is very sick…she is my family. She lives in the Seattle area. She is the one who has helped me and mentored me all my life, even before I got married. She and I are knitting buds. I flew to seattle after I got back from Hawaii and helped with her care. She is 73 years old and has terminal cancer. I am very sad. She wants us all to be brave and remember she is always with us in spirit. Still it’s hard.

WIP – It’s been awhile since I posted. I mainly worked on the “Entrelace Scarf”. I have to confess…I hate it. It’s soooooooooo slow. I think I have the pattern down though. I will be glad when I’m finished. I worked on the “Blue Baby Boy” sweater. I have one sleeve done. I left the instructions at home so I couldn’t do much. The fingerless gloves are still the back burner.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – “The Third Degree” by Greg Iles read by David Colacci, was excellent 4***. “The Book of the Dead” by Patricia Cornwell read by my favorite reader Katie Reading - 4****** and “Playing for Pizza by John Grisham read by Christopher Evan Welch – 3*** - It was about at football player… lite reading a different book for Mr. Grisham. I’m still listen to “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks read by Holster Graham on my IPod.
