Happy New Year !!

 Happy New Year!  It is a beautiful day here in
Western New York...cold though. And snowy!

We have had an ultra busy week. Too busy. Today
is my first day home since Christmas.

The JFY4 is coming along, though very slow.
I will be done in a day or two. It is very very big.

Here is progress as of Thursday. I sat by the fireplace
all afternoon when we were away and knit.

 Here is progress today. I am on Clue 10 of 12.

A lot of knitters used the same colors as I did.

I started a sock. Was looking for a pattern, but my brain
was tired so everything I found was too involved. Finally
started a sock in yarn from Martha this Rhinebeck and I am
making up a pattern.  The lively colors make me happy.

I also started a totally brainless shawl from Moorehouse Merino
yarn kit, purchased at Rhinebeck. I did not realize how brainless...
Garter stitch for  50 rows increasing each side, then at 100 stitches
decrease at each side in 2nd color. It will be fun when done if I
don't expire from boredom first. Oh and its a size 13 needle.  This
is a weird pic...the needle is curling.

 Ruth is making great progress on her pretty sweater.
Anne Hanson's Violet pattern. Brooks Farm Yarn.

 Martha has blocked the body of her sweater and has a
perfect fit!

 In other news...

Did I mention it's pretty

Mickey thinks because I'm home he gets his dinner early...NOT!

 I've taken down all of the decorations except the trees.
Watching the Buffalo Bills game at 4:30. I hope it's a good
game, and by a miracle they win.  If not, I just hope it's a good
game.

Joe and I are staying in and making a shrimp dinner. So glad
to just be home.  I'll make it fun!!

Happy New Year!
