Warm Digits

This is my favorite time of year to knit. It's just starting to get
cold outside, the extra blankets are pulled out of the closet for the
bed, winter socks dug out of the back of the dresser drawer, and hot tea
replaces iced tea. It's time to make socks, and mittens,




















and maybe a hat or two. So, let's forget about the "list" for now. Priorities are
changing and with Christmas approaching it's very unlikely that I'll get
anything for myself done, or even started.

Here's me and the new baby in the family.










...and a new dog bone.



House work is suffering and last week I put off laundry for 5 days.
Not a record, but getting close. I've been letting the dishes pile up
and I've hardly yelled at the bf for leaving his stuff all over the
place. It's hard work being a knitter, especially when you have a day job that doesn't allow "knit time." What is this world coming to? Don't they realize I'd be more productive and happier if I was just able to knit a little during the day. Instead I try to cram it into my lunch
schedule and between dealing with the dog and trying to knit I hardly
have time to eat most days. Huh? Knitting before eating, maybe I should
rethink that. No way, I can eat whenever, but knitting time is precious.

Here's the new yarn I picked for the sleeveless sweater I'm working on. Better than the green, isn't it?

Later,
Anna
