I finally feel like I have time to sit and post something. The hats I made for Christmas gifts went over well, I think. The face mask turned out fine--just took forever.  J wore it a couple of times while he was here and will put it to good use on his commutes to work. I forgot to get a picture before he went back to his place, though.  I finished my Booga Bag and it is just waiting for a trip to the hot water for felting.  I love the Kureyon colors and wish I could justify making another one or two  I already have more bags than I need, though, and must show some restraint  Dear son, J, got me a cool canvas tote bag for Christmas. It has pockets on the inside and will be nice for my lunchtime projects.  My next project is another beanie from the Crazy Cap pattern at Wildhorse Farm Designs. Couldn't find any Regia Crazy Colors, so I'm using Regia 6 in a pretty combo of green, royal blue, grey and white. Using small needles again (size 4) after using the 10.5's for the Booga bag is a little strange--my hands are still adjusting. It's chilly here in Surf City and I plan to stay close to home and knit. I will face taking down the tree and decorations in a few days. 8:54:51 AM    comment []             It got cold last night!! It was still cold this morning--I took these pictures at about 7 am. The grass was crunchy when I walked over to refill the bird feeders. The roof shot is the house next door.  Weathernet says that the low temp since midnight was 35 degrees. Way too cold for Surf City!! The high for the day is supposed to be around 60 degrees. I can't belive that it's Sunday again and my four days off are almost finished. On the bright side, I get four more this coming week. 8:14:33 AM    comment []
