fluffy back

So the New Year’s Knitting didn’t go the way it was supposed to. I have about an inch on the back of the fluffy sweater. All I want to do is unpack my boxes and see all of my things again! I worked on books today. Who knew we owned so many books?

The Yarn Fairy came the other day! Gotta love that little truck he drives. They must drive on the wrong side of the road in Yarn Fairy Land.

It looks more like butternut squash to me than gold.

Can you guess what this is for? That’s right! The Must-Have Cardigan by Patons. Like so many others, I have coveted that sweater since I saw it in my catalogs. Now, at last, it will be mine! Well, after the fluffy sweater, of course. I have a Rule that states: Only One Large Knitting Project is allowed at a time. But I can have as many little projects as I want, so I think I might cast-on for the ladder scarf any minute now! I can’t unpack more books until I get the rest of the bookcases painted anyway.

M got a GPS for Christmas. So we spent all day last Saturday with my Pop finding local geocaches. I got a ceramic duck out of one of them! And visited the site of the Ghost Fleet. My Grandaddy Nix worked out there for a while after WWII. Dad and his brothers fished in the cool between the ships in the summer.

My sister-in-law has her own blog! She picked the colors herself. She also made me this great soap for Christmas. The dark one is purple, but the soap dish really is black. Pretty swanky for my Great Gran-Mother’s bathroom, huh?
