Julevotter

These are like potato chips - I just want to knit one more.


The backs are almost better than the fronts.  
They're so pretty!



Yeah.  I accidentally started knitting from the second page of the instructions.  Didn't even realize it until I was done with the 13.

Fresh Snow!

We're just on the outer edge of the band of snow, but it's been so long since we've had any fresh snow.


Don't you love it when the snow sticks to the window?

January was NaKniMitMo (National Knit Mittens Month).  I finished two more pair, for a total of three pair of mittens in January.





And I'm starting a February KnitAlong for an Advent Calendar of Mittens.  I've got my yarn ready!

Facebook and Ravelry ate my blog

Has it eaten yours?  With the time I spend on Facebook and Ravelry, I just haven't had the ambition to update my blog.

Let's see if I can improve in 2015.

I've got one mitten project finished.  These are a gift for Paul's cousin.  She sits with our dogs when we can't take them on trips.  But her real loves are feline.



Pattern is Moggies by Barbara Gregory.  

We had an amazing trip over the Christmas holiday.  For many years, we've been going to Grand Targhee with our children and this year we were joined by Paul's brother and wife.  It was our turn to have Ben and Bekky for the holiday, too.  We skied downhill and cross country.  We snowshoed.  We took an incredible flight over the Tetons, in a small plane.

Our family


Don't look, Claire!


The views on this flight were unbelievable.  We flew over the Driggs valley, Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton, Teton National park and back over the Tetons to view Grand Targhee's ski area.  It was just us and the pilot, who gave a terrific informative tour.  I highly recommend Teton Aviation.

January Mystery Mittens - finished!

The final clue for the January Mystery Mittens was published on Saturday.


Here's the finished mittens.  The theme was the story from the book 'the Secret Garden'.

Mitten pair number 1 for 2014.

I've been busy finishing up those 2013 projects that only had little bits left.


Details soon.
