another ballband

to complement last weeks. Same colors, negative image. Actually after this was bound off and the pictures had been snapped, I found 3 spots where on the purl side I hadn't pulled the brick color to the back... .guess I won't rip back, after all it is just a warshrag... supposed that means I'm keeping the set. remember these are the colors I used in the Monthly dishcloth mid February KAL... made these two cloths as well and there's still plenty of yarn left for another 2 color cloth and maybe a 2 color scrubby as well! I think the peaches and cream skeins are larger than sugar and cream or something. For sure the yarn feels softer to me.

Progress on dad's vest. I started reading the directions for the armholes in the back and got stumped until I had some helpfrom the knitlist crew. So I'll continnue to plod along. I had wanted to get there yesterday and see how this fit him so far, but there were other pots to be boiled, so to speak, so I never made it. I hope it's OK... cuz I'm not that much of a process knitter to be happy about ripping back 20 inches of 5x3 ribbing that is about 18 inches wide...........

I should get some work done I guess... what a luxurious day spent clicking the needles together :-)

oh what fun it is to ride!

Friday afternoon when the snow stopped falling, we went sledding.. well at least the kids went down the hill (OK I did once, too) They had such a blast. DS2 would scream woo-hoo as he was sliding down. It was great that they finally got a snow that was worth playing in.


Sunday afternoon was perfect weather for building a snowman. The sun was shining brightly but the snow still lay on the ground. This boy's decorations were provided from a snowman kit that my SIL gave us years ago. It's helped a lot of snow become people. This kept the kids outside for an hour or so.

DD lost a tooth Sunday night. The kicker is that the fairy left no money.. I told her it's cuz she wasn't in her bed, but I was there in stead so she thought I was trying to scam her ;-) hope she bought it. There's cash in the pillow now, though

I'm about halfway through my second skein of wool for dad's vest. I finally decided on 8s which make a thick cloth, but I like it better than on the bigger needles.

I also cast on a cloth for a co-worker tonight.. of course procrastinating doing work. The forecast for tmrw is glum. Snow then freexing rain and sleet until 11AM so I'm wondering if we'll have a late start or maybe nothing at all????

I better get my school work done. I'm sleeping at the computer while I type.

happy crafting everyone!
