Day 3 2015......Sweet Things
Caffeine Girl sent me this wonderful prize package.
I won her orange toned sock yarn in December.
She sent me "Lynn" a pretty sock pattern and a wonder bar of chocolate!!
I did not give up chocolate for New Years...mmmm
I'm always struck by our pretend friends' generosity at contests.
As soon as the sock bug hits, this yarn is on the needles. I resolved to knit side by side socks all year to avoid the dreaded second sock syndrome which I deplore!
I went to see INTO THE WOODS again yesterday.
My neighbor wanted to see it.
I loved it again.
Meredith posted about her Lady Kina Sweater.
I immediately dropped my cowl and started a Kina.
It took me over an hour to choose the yarn color at Three Bags Full.
I finally told myself, "this is not the only sweater you will ever knit..just take blue" and I did.
On my way home I realized, I've never knit a blue sweater.
Finally, the bitter cold is on our doorstep and so is New Years the cat. He appeared last night around 5. I'm happy to feed the poor guy even if he belongs to someone else. Clearly he's hungry.
Can you see him on the porch through my window?
He absolutely attacks the food.
What sweet things have come into your life in 2015?

Sweet things??? Well, I guess vacation counts. We just got back from a week at Amelia Island. I have SO much blog catching up to do.
I was laughing with Steve this morning about today being the first day of "reality" in 2015. Beach time is so much more relaxed.
Briton and his girlfriend saw "Into the Woods" yesterday, too. He prefers the stage version, but was taken by a lot in the film.
Hugs,
Meredith
And the orange sock yarn is just amazing, but I would make a shawl from it....^^
Thanks for the pic of the mystery kitty, poor thing!
Well, we had homebaked chocolate brownies today which my daughter baked, they were delicious!!!! Yumm!!! :)))
Enjoy!!! And happy knitting with the Kina.

Hope kitty got his tummy full - he's a pretty one!
I have 2 pairs in progress that I don't even want to look at for completely different reasons. I'm not ready! Perhaps while I let them stew in a corner, this should be my new tactic ...
