Holidays alone

I suppose she could do a hat. In FACT, there's a fantastic pattern I saw...

I think sport/DK is the right weight for it. I mean to make this hat this winter.

I was thinking hat, or a set of fingerless (or normal) mittens with one of those knitted headbands. Or maybe learning to do socks.

I like that hat pattern but I don't know how to cable yet though. Yet.

I will say - I got into knitting when a friend's mom gave me a pair of wrist-warmers/fingerless mittens for the office. They are absolutely heaven when it's freezing in here but I still have to type. Probably the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten.

KnittingPatternCentral.com has about a zillion links to free fingerless glove/mitten patterns.

When I wanted to learn to cable, I bought some cabling needles and went to youtube. You will be shocked how easy it is. (Wicked)

I like ravelry too, although you need a membership and some patterns are paid downloads.

The yarn is 50g. Recommends size 4 needles (!) which I don't even have. Wow this stuff is pretty. But I had no idea what I would make when I bought it - just couldn't turn down the price.

Move back to VA!!!!!!!! We can ride together in the 57 degrees!!!!!!!!!!! (: (Yes, I am not mentioning the 101 month of July lol)

Oh, I was there for enough of that! Went back to run at Dominion RiverRock and a trail run in July out by Wintergreen. Harsh reminder of what humidity feels like!!

I don't mind cold if it's snowing, and it's snowing again now. Supposedly 6-12 inches by tomorrow :)

Wow- the small world coincidence is too funny! I was at River rock all weekend! Several of "my" kids did the urban assault- we also had friends in the kayak and rock climbing exhibits!

Please let me know next time you are in town! (:

We agree on the snow! Originally from Erie, PA (Buffalo weather) Snow is fun! 38 degree rain is why we belong to the Y !!!!!!!!!!!
