Mood – It’s Friday - hard to believe that’s it’s almost Feburary. Our weather has been terrible. Snow, snow, snow. Tonight it’s suppose to get really warm and rain.. oh great .. slushy ice skating time.

WIP - I'm working on the “Odessa Hat” w/beads for my DD. I’ve frogged it 3 times and tonight I’ll do it again. Grrr. It’s a great pattern but I’m disappointed in the yarn. I’m also working on a Drop stitch scarf out of “Cherry Hill” yarn. It’s really an easy pattern. And I love the yarn.. it's so very soft. I’m trying to finish my SIL slippers.. I finished one but I hope to finish it this weekend.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I just finished "Night Fall” by Nelson DeMille - 5 stars and I’m now listening to “Trunk Music” by Michael Connelly - A Harry Bosch Novel read by Dick Hill. Also very good.

Weather - Cloudy with rain and snow. Low 22F with temps rising to near 35F. ENE winds shifting to SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain. 60%.

This is the scarf out of the
"Cherry Hill" yarn... I just love
it. And the pattern is really easy.

This is the hat that I'm making
for my daughter... I will frog down
4 rows tonight as the stitches at the
1st marker are too loose... whaaa

This is me and BooBoo
Isn't he cute!!

This is the scarf I made for Sarah!

WIP - I'm working on a hat or my DD and I'm almost done with my SIL felted slippers..just the last sole and then I can felt. Also working on a Mulit-directional scarf. I've frogged it 2x .. I don't know if I like the yarn .. oh well. I will post pictures soon!

What I'm doing – Gearing down after Christmas.. it's hard to believe this is 2007. God has been good to my family. I will to go knitting tonight and the Guild tomorrow. It’s finally warmed up now is 30 degrees. Its been in the minus for 2 weeks.. I don't know which is worse. Cold or Ice... and we got 24" of snow that is still being hauled away.

What Audio Books I’m Listen to - I'm listening to the bible.. and trying to do that every day.. It's working o.k. sometimes I have to start over. I'm also listening to "Night Fall" by Nelson DeMille. He's a very good writer.. he research the subject and uses allot of true facts. This is about a terrorist attack .. just what I need to listen to. Oh well very good.

This is the Keyhole/buttonhole purse. Before felting. I can't remember the exact name. LOL

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!

We've got a new dog – Well new to us – “Belle” – she’s a four year old Dachshund – she’s very nice. Pictures to follow. We will have to watch her closely around Chase and Snoopy and she's very protective. My DH –who did not want us to get another dog is getting along with her! And my DS loves her. She’s kennel trained and rides very well in a car! ?She v very loving and a sweetie.
