I am finishing up with the Alice Roving. Lovely, elegant gray wool yarn. Maybe I'll get seven or eight skeins out of it.
I'm well into the second scarf and it is supposed to snow this weekend. That means a lot of knitting by the fire, if I were to bet on what I'll be doing this weekend.
I passed forward the first scarf and it was well received. I got some good comments on it at our spinning guild meeting, so I may be onto something. Because of all the great knitted garments I'm seeing lately, I am really wanting to do a cabled slouchy hat. Everywhere I look, I see another, better one.While shopping with my daughter last weekend, we stopped into Brooks Brothers for her husband to look around. She spotted a lovely pair of gloves that I felt sure I could knit, given the right basic pattern.
So there are a few candidates to bet on for my next project or so.Here's my birthday present. I am so content to have this little faucet. It may not look like much, but it's my first fancy upgrade.
I also got this great little coffee maker from my friends - one cup at a time.
I guess folks know I love coffee. I just realized there's an espresso machine and coffee maker in the background of the above shot! Yikes.I want you to know that I'm doing pretty well with my New Year's resolutions. One that I made was to paint my nails more. Done. I'm trying to at least paint them on the weekends. I also am trying to wear more perfume. Just 'cause. I'm really trying to live more in the moment, when you come down to it. I'm trying not to spend so much time thinking about the next thing; that whole living for the weekend mentality. That's not good -I am where I am, I am who I am. Enjoy! So.....I'm taking care of me, now, and looking up, and around me. Trying to be thankful for all the wonderful things right in front of me. All the things I've been blessed with.
