January Snow

As January was bidding adieu
we got hit with a whopper of a snowstorm
on Friday.

the roads were treacherous

it is the only word
that really described
where they were not covered with snow
was covered in ice
it was not an enjoyable
ride home from work!


Saturday morning we awoke to sunshine
but bitter cold
so we all bundled up
and headed outside

doesn't she look cute in her red sweater!

this one reminded me of a big snow cone...

the snow was beautiful ~ clinging to everything

and I am pleased to say
that my project of the month
is completed!

it is straight knitting
and I finished it off with a fringe
it goes great with my new coat

and

it makes me happy!

I have another little project to share
but will wait til next week...

Hope everyone has
a wonderful week!

Knitting 101

When I was about 10 or 12 years old
my grandmother tried
to teach me how to knit

and I could only knit
not pearl...

yup

nice girl ~ not very bright!

so I could only knit a scarf
and then she would laugh at me
because I would gain stitches
or lose them

so after Christmas
when I said I was going to do
a project a month
one of the things I said I would do
was to knit a scarf
to match my new jacket

now it is not fancy
and not yet complete
but I am doing it...

mind you I cannot remember how to cast off
I will have to go visit Mom and get that lesson!

This is one of my favorite pictures
of Gram & I

I miss her everyday
but not what she left behind.

becomes a memory

the memory
becomes a treasure"
