Michigan Winter 2009


It is moments like this that I am able to read Joe's mind...."Why, Oh, why did I ever leave West Palm Beach???"

I woke up this morning and it was snowing hard. It is now 12:50am and it is still snowing! With Andy out of commission, due to his surgery, Joe has been shoveling since before Christmas. Cat and Paul's van was nearly invisible in the blizzard.



I have been in the house for a week straight, letting Andy use my car each day. It was tough, but I have been forced to knit a lot. It was a good thing I had made a lot of trips to the yarn store before winter set in. Joe calls our basement "Threadbear Two", named fondly after the original "Threadbear", my favorite yarn shop.





First, I made a hat....



Then another......


Then I made a beret!


I am currently working on a scarf and then ready to tackle a sweater and some baby items for a few friends who are expecting. Threadbear sends out gift certificates to their "frequent flyers" gift certificates and I got one in the mail yesterday. I just might have to grab the blazer, fire up the 4 wheel drive and venture to the yarn store today.

I am going to knit my way to spring. It's not a bad life!
