I worked, cleaned, did laundry and of course crochet and knit ... what else is there to do when snow ...and snow some more ...and snow some more...
Everything is so pretty and white...
It's my birthday tomorrow and I think for sure it will be an inside kind of birthday...
Knitting, cooking, crocheting and spending time with my family... what else could I possibly want? I will be very happy with relaxing and enjoying my calm day at home.
I have been working on my SIL's blanket and have finished this cowl you will see here... a simple double crochet cowl in navy and winter white, made with Lion Brand bulky yarn with size 10mm hook. So quick and easy I cannot even begin to tell you...I started and finished last night.
Lots of plans to do a lot more of relaxing, knitting and crocheting...
Before I go just wanted to show you a little friend I had visiting me all day on my balcony today ...he/she was there all day ... I kept putting food and bread outside and he/she kept coming back to visit me ... such a gift... :)
Thanks for stoping by and I hope you are staying warm wherever you are ...we are freezing here and it looks like we are in for a really cold and snowy kind of weekend,
Have a wonderful weekend my dear friends :)
Hi Taci! I almost walked to New Seasons tonight but changed my mind when I heard the wind howling outside. It's STILL snowing. I don't think I've ever seen more than a few odd little flakes in Portland. This is crazy! It will definitely be a snowed in weekend.
ReplyDeleteLet me be one of the first to tell you HaPpY bIrThDaY my dear friend. I have been very blessed to have you in my life and I know everyone you meet feels the same. You have such a sweet spirit. I hope you are gifted with many more years to share with all of us and that your year to come is as wonderful as you are. I'm sending you much love Taci.
Blessings always,
Betsy

Happy Birthday to you darling, wonderful, delightful Taci! I wish I was there to give you a giant birthday hug. I hope you have a fantastic day and your family celebrates the wonderful person you are. You asked about my cowl (by the way I love yours). I used 200 yards of yarn, size 10 1/2 circulars. Cast on 100 stitches (joined to knit in the round), made a 5 stitch by 5 sticth ribbing for 2 1/2 inches, knit in stockinette for 7 in, 5 by 5 rib for 2 1/2 inch and cast off. Easy. I'd love to see yours.
