I almost forgot! Lauren made her boyfriend a quilt for Christmas. And she really did do all of it. I just supervised (and she will tell you it was grudgingly-I really don’t like making T-shirt quilts).
I think she did a great job!
When it is cold and snowy, as this January has been, my love of yarn overcomes me. This month I have been in the mood to crochet. I have been collecting skeins of Cascade 220 yarn to make an afghan. Lots and lots of colors accented with white.
It is big and is eating yarn: It is as wide as a queen sized mattress. I made the mistake of measuring my progress yesterday: it was only 17” long. Oh dear-in my head I thought it was about 25”! Each row takes me about 40 minutes to crochet-a simple calming repetition of double crochet.
And just for fun, some pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. I am going to make a garland for my fireplace. Each heart is almost instant gratification: I can make one in about 20 minutes.
You can find the pattern for the hearts here.
I took this picture in my kitchen.
I was supposed to work today and my road had not yet been plowed; the highways were still covered in snow and I drifted off the road because it was snowing so hard. I came back home and called in.
And now it has stopped snowing, the sun is shining, and the roads are clear.
Another typical winter day in Central New York.
