Wow that is one monster pom, pom. When I saw this pattern I just had to do something funky. I have just the person to give it to at church....she will love it. UM...I hope ....
The boys are about 7 months old now and thriving. Timothy the golden boy is very friendly. He love the chin and face massages. He runs right up to the front of his play area for food and petting. Little Bit the rascal, he is more carful, he stretches his body to reach the food treat, heaven forbid I might pet him. He is the complainor. We are working on this. He is endearing in his own way. Hugs, Dusty

Makaila's Snowboard Hat

Silly fun at Granny house this weekend. Makaila and I went to Joann's and she picked out some yarn for her snowboard hat. It just fit. She was tickled, see the smile, all that effort into the hat for such a nice reward in a smile. Doesn't get much better than that. Going to be making another one with chunky yarn and larger needles for a better fit. She really is into pompoms. Later, Dusty

So Far So Good

So far so good right on track with my knitting, but more important is that I am actually finishing up each project!! These two pair will be delivered to my friend, Lou. She saw the pair I made last week for another lady and really wanted some for herself. Add then added she wanted another pair for her friend. These are a fairly quick knit, each pair take about 6 hours to complete. My daughter wanted to sneak off with the multi-color pair, but I said sorry they are promised to someone else. She did get a pair for Christmas.
Her birthday is coming up soon so perhaps I will make her another pair.

Well I have a scarf called Dragon Scales that has been hibernating for about 1 yr. Time to get that one finished up only a bit more to go on it. It is very pretty so my goal is to get it done by next Sunday. Stay tuned to upcoming pics of that one. Hugs, Dusty

Smitten With Mittens

I am still busy making mittens. I took this pair as a gift to a friend at church and she loved them. Well, another friend liked them as well and begged to try them on. She had a smile from ear to ear and eyes all lit up. I asked her if she really liked them she said are you kidding me (good for my ego here lol). I then asked would you like a pair also, she said yes very quickly lol, and also a pair for her friend. So I have been working on them this week and I will post a picture of them soon. I really like this pattern, it is so easy and fun. There is allot of variations that can be done with this pattern. The pattern is on Raverly.com and is called the 75 yd Malabrigo mittens. A real keeper for sure. People seem to love to have their fingers free for the computer work and at the same time keep their hands warm. Women seem to love it when they get a manicure as the fingers are free and nails dry.
Here is a picture of Timothy. He sure has grown. He is my cuddle baby. He just loves to have his cheeks and chin massaged. Have to get a pic of Little Bit up soon, thinking of renaming him Little Bite, he has his moods.

We are supposed to get snow today, so far has been a mild winter in Michigan at least here in my corner of it. Although I do not like the mess, I do hope we get one good blizzard, I love to watch it coming down. More later and as always God Bless, Hugs, Dusty
