Episode 151: Holidays, Snowdays

Suddenly, SNOW! My son doesn't quite know what to make of it....while I realize with horror that he has no mittens or scarves! (He has always refused them, until he just asked for them a minute ago...)

The Annual CogKnitive Mother Bear project CAL/KAL will run from Jan1, 2013 until I get to Stitches West in late February. Get your materials ready!

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle:

Still in Progress:

The Tehachapi Project Shawl. Almost to the D chart section!.

The 3rd and 4th Scraptacular Blankets come out of hibernation to support stash reduction. Their big sister is hanging over the back of the chair.



My Hitchin' a Ride Shawl in crochet, finally sent to hibernation, probably on way to The Pond.

Finished:
The second Calm Cowl....from my handspun silk/merino in the Jasper colorway from Sunshine Yarns.



Dizzy Blondes:

Finishing the bright yellow singles in SWM/alpaca. About 300 yards.

Started 50/50 silk/SFMerino from Red Fish Dyeworks on my Jensen.



Strategy:
Get feedback from someone you trust. Cultivate a mentor or advisor.

Something I Really Like:
Myfax--email faxing service for $10 per month.
Dragonvale update.

Put A  Lid On It:
Crisp Pickle Controversy.

Blather:
Snow on the farm, Mother Bear CAL/KAL starts on Tuesday, Jan 1st., looking forward to Stitches West, Windows 8.

And there's nothing like hot chocolate, peanut butter, and Star Trek while wrapped in a Scraptacular blanket, after a cold hour in the snow with alpacas and Newfie dogs.
