Swatching

Lots of swatching goin' on 'round here.

I've been checking for stitch gauge and for the feel of the fabric

For my next CustomFit cardigan

It's another stockinette sweater

This time with a cable design next to the button band.

The design comes from a sweater pattern in the winter edition of Knitter's magazine

That I'd been browsing at Barnes & Noble.

It just popped right out at me.

Am going BLUE for a change.

The sun is shining,

Temp is up

And it's time for lunch

Two Adult Tickets, Please

While daughter Gloria was visiting

she and I went to first day 

showing of

The Hunger Games:  Catching Fire

We went to the matinee and avoided the evening crowds.

When leaving the theater,

crowds there were

waiting to get into the evening showing..  

Hoards of Hunger Game fans

While I am no way one of them

Yes, so Effie Trinket now resides next to my laptop.

She's rocking her blue metallic outfit.

Oh, yes,

Katniss Everdeen is right along side of Effie.

We did get ~2"

Sox Rock !

Staying cozy Friday while waiting for our wintery mix of weather to arrive.

Snow didn't come 'til evening

staying cozy involves listening to Christmas music and knitting on a triangular scarf.

I love How The Grinch Stole Christmas narrated by Boris Karloff.

Oh, Mr. Grrrrrrrinch 

These grape-y purple worsted weight sox are going to be put to good use this winter.

Plus,

they're darn right wonderful feeling.

Another pair of worsted winter sox.

This pair was knit several years before I found my Passion for 40" circular needles.

This is the one and only pair 

of sox knit on my Round Loom.  

Not bad for a first timer.
They do keep the toes toasty warm.

Snow is falling this evening in fat clumps.

It's a wet snow, folks.

Let's hope not too much stick to the trees.

In the next couple of days the slow-cooker beef roast is going to hit the spot as the snow accumulates

- something like four to five inches is predicted -

The roast and it's veggies
and a batch of hot-out-of-the-oven cheddar biscuits
should do it.

And we'll see how the weatherman's prediction goes.

One thing for certain,

it's not going to the last time we get snow this winter.

Let it snow.

Let it snow.

Let it snow.

What A Way To Start The Day ! ! !

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning

Oh, What a Beautiful Day ! ! ! 

Temp is 26 degrees, feels like 17

With a Wintery mix of Precip expected later.

What better way to start a winter day than to Carmelize a pan of Onions?

Wonderful accent to our Soup at Lunchtime  ! ! ! 

Perhaps before the weather arrives,

we'll be able to get in a trip to 

our local Barnes & Noble

for a cup of Americana 

and a Holiday Sugar Cookie

Maybe even a chance to use B&N 25% off coupon!

Enjoy these Winter days ! ! !

Another Willow for Warmth

Another Willow Cowl.

This time using a sock weight yarn.

A lovely addition to a winter wardrobe.

Gifted, so I guess a third version

will be in the works.

Stop for A Quick Ice Cream Treat

Is there any place better than Central Dairy

for a quick taste of your favorite treat?

Whether a small dish of Extreme Moose Tracks

or

a healthy Banana Split !

Who could resist the temptation???

REDdy for Winter

How 'bout a pair of really, really red House Sox for

a frigid December-January!!

You're right if you are thinking you've seen

this yarn before,

still haven't cast on the socks.

But with the weather about to turn more

wintery it may be about time to get busy.

*See Footnote below

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Red's a holiday color

just perfect for a mixer who beats and mixes

for our pleasure.

Think Sugar Cookies in shapes of

bells, wreaths and snowmen ! ! !

<^><^><^><^>

A Red cardigan will be perfect to wear

Christmas, New Years and right on through to Valentine's Day

Cupid's favorite color
