What are you knitting?

 The nieces had Descendents dolls.
I'm way behind on Disney movies. 
When you don't have little ones you miss out. 
Apparently they are the children of Snow White and Cinderella etc.
How clever to spin a story off a classic.

And we have a touch of snow for New Years.  We are in for an ice storm today and that means one thing: Knitting at home! 

The Mexican wrestler mask is a bit hit among the kiddos who came to our party yesterday.
Zach's students will love this mask.
 Zach returned from Islas Mujeres with wonderful things for us. 

The Party we hosted yesterday was fun and furious. 
We did not run out of food. 
We had just the right amount. 
Bacon crack was a huge hit.

We are really good tired today.

Time to sit and knit with my girl before she heads to Virginia tomorrow.  Oh my that went fast.

Are you knitting today? What are you knitting?

Obviously, I'm out of the loop on dolls, too, because I didn't have a clue who they were.

I'm knitting another Baby Surprise Jacket and more bandages: I've joined Dee in Slashing the Stash.

I knitting socks as the year begins and slashing stash a bit too. I like anklets and they are quick to knit and stash friendly, so I am knitting one pair after another until I'm tired of them. At the same time I am looking for the perfect pattern to start the year.

Socks, socks ......and that never-ending blanket.

(The blanket would probably not BE never-ending if I actually picked it up out of the basket and worked on it.)

I had no idea who the descendants were either. You can tell my children grown and gone! I'm knitting mittens. Lots and lots of mittens. I'm making them for a low income school in Spokane for every first grader. That means 99 pairs of mittens. I had hoped to have them done by the time winter break was over but that's not going to happen. Although, hopefully I will be close to the goal.
Blessings, Betsy

I've seen those dolls... Disney put them out to compete with Mattel's Monster High (the ones I collect) and Ever After High. They are very cute and I have to remind myself I have enough dolls!

Neither of the GD are much into dolls, so I'd not heard of these two. However, Max is all about Ninjas lately, so I just ordered a sew-on patch for the birthday sweater that I'm hoping to finish before next Monday. Now, if I'd only quit making mistakes.......

I had to trek over to Northern Va this morning bright and early to babysit the Grands while the nanny is on vacation so I didn't get much knitting done. I did a few rows on the sleeves of son's cardi during nap time but that didn't last nearly long enough. I wish my kids had had their kids when I was younger. I am one worn out granny and I have to go back tomorrow!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Those holiday goodbyes are so hard.

If I can talk Mr. Iknead into making the grocery run today, I plan on finishing (hopefully) Celtic Myths.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 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...
