A box! A box!
There was a shiny gold box on my desk on Monday morning. Here's what was inside....
Thank you, Janet, for my big box-o-yarn! There's Paton's Divine in a soft purple, red and green Moda Dea Jai Alai, Bernat Boa in turquoise and Lion Brand Fancy Fur in black and green. I've never worked with the Jai Alai or Fancy Fur before, so I'm starting to scheme little schemes involving more scarves. But I should show restraint and not cast on until after the Christmas knitting is done. They're really only two projects that need to get done. The first is the very end of a striped stocking stitch scarf knit in the round, like the preppie-looking Harry Potter scarves.
And there's one other project that, shhh! (she says in the tiniest whisper) I haven't even cast on for yet.... but I need to keep that one under wraps for now.

It's so cold.....
How cold is it?
No, I didn't knit it. And no, he was not happy to wear it. When will we humans learn?! He would much rather park himself by the heater, or bury himself under some pillows or just about anything except wear clothes!

On a roll
What can I say? It's been a good week, and here's why:
1. I managed to guess my Secret Pal's name - it is indeed Iris, who, in addition to being an awesome SP, knits and spins and writes and waits patiently (not in the dark, I hope??) for electricians.
2. It's supposed to snow tonight (anywhere from 2-8 inches, depending on elevation, humidity, and which television meteorologist you happen to be watching). This raises the hope, however faint, that I won't have to go to work tomorrow.
3. And yesterday, I got even more gifties! It's a whole plateful of treats from Bethieee and Peacock:
There were some pretty sparkly stich markers and a cute mini potholder (they look really nice together, don't you think?)
not to mention some excellent shortbread
How many pieces are left a day later? Now that would be telling!
