Word of the day--GREAT

What a great day --no knitting today.  Addi's baby blanket has out grown all my project bags.  I just had to make another and I love these winter scenes.  I dug into my grandby's button box and added a couple.  I often forget how much I like to sew.  Now Addi's blanket has a new home and I am off to watch  foot ball with Mike and maybe get it done this weekend.




Addi's blanket, I love these colors

What do you say???

Madeline Tosh Sock yarn!!  How do you knit your socks, toe up of top down??

I really like this color way


If you don't want to knit socks with me you can choose some other wonderful Malabrigo yarn.  Le Anne was the first person to pick up two of these skeins.  It is my favorite also.

Mounds of M & M's

There are mounds of MadTosh and Malabrigo squirting out of boxes everywhere at Serendipity
Oh, I have not picked one skein out as of yet, tomorrow may be a different story.

Has it almost been one year???

My project for now is a blanket for Addison Mae.  It is hard for me to believe how quickly this first year of her life has gone by.  Tami now has her granddaughter Georgia Grace and Joan has a new grandson Asher.  Natalie and Bud asked if I would make her a blanket so I did some deep stash diving for sock yarn.  Lots of progress was made on her blanket because I hobbled around most of the day.  Big toes and log furniture=pain involved at some point.
Proud Papa's

She was so tiny!!
Addi will be a year old Jan. 6th.  I am looking forward to this holiday season because we will be together as a family here in Colorado.  I never knew how much fun it is to be a Nana and Papa.  If you live here in BV you get so see Joan and Bill and Tami with their grandchildren.  This season that approaches is a time of enjoying family and friends.  I never want to take any of that for granted..  One of my great pleasures it so make gifts for Addi & Keenan.  Keenan will be getting some knitted animal.  (He can't wear wool)  Photo's to come of that for sure.
This is some of the yarn in Addi's blanket.  It was for the Stephen West mystery KAL and the colors did not work together at all.  I am loving them in her blanket.  Any one getting the itch to knit some socks??  Give me a call at the shop, I think we should have a KAL with a sock pattern.
