 Al's been gift knitting.
This is the Antler hat.
She got Nathan's dad in their family swap.
Stan will love his hat!

Al used the Bulky acrylic that I  got in Door County in September. 

Hi Cutie Pie, see you in a week!!  SQUEAL!!!
 I finished my knock off hat that looks like snow fall. 
I Love the outcome. 
Fireman wants it! 
All his. 
To my knowledge there is no pattern yet.
I just looked at the hat on Pinterest and tried to copy it .
If I do it again, and I will, I will carry the first color up father a bit and I will alternate single color rows with mixed a bit more....

I've cast on a kerchief shawlette in cotton last night. 


GREAT NEWS: 
Zach's collar bone is healing. NO surgery needed. 
Thanks for all the well wishes!

Oh I love the hats! You did an amazing job without a pattern. And it really does look like snowfall...of which we received 4 inches last night. Not my favorite thing, snow. I think I live in the wrong place. l0l
Blessings,

That is great news about Zach!
Al is darling in that hat.
I swear I have a pattern like that; I'll look around. Yours came out really well. I'm not sure you need a pattern!

So happy for Zach!! I love your hat. You did a great job. I especially like the long ribbing which makes nice warm ears! I know how happy you are that Al is coming home. This is such an exciting time of the year. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

No surgery to start the new year-hooray!
The hats look great--no wonder Fireman put dibs on the snow-falling hat!

I love your snow falling hat! I see why the Fireman wants it too! I'm so glad that Zach is alright, well at least won't need surgery! Your girl's hat is fantastic and she looks gorgeous as well. I'm glad you'll all be together soon.

Love the good news that Zach is healing without surgery: young bodies heal faster than older ones. ;o)

Both hats are fabulous!

Think of your snowfall hat as just a "light dusting" of snow! LOL (It looks great!) I can see why fireman would like it for his own. Looks like it will be nice and warm!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
