First Friday of the New Year

I truly never thought I would embrace online banking, but lately the days creep up so quickly and I realize that something is due that day or the day after. I guess I am being dragged into the 21st century after all

After 3 days of grey I get to knit blue for my scarf today, I also must knit a carrot nose for my new snowwoman Squalla---I for some unknown reason totally forgot, then I will finish the Bearded Toque I am making for DD#2's friend. If time allows for the day I will also hopefully finish up the Mrs. Miracle scarf in the beautiful Fyberspates---this yarn is so drapey perfect for shawls and scarfs. What a pleasure to knit with.

I am designing a shawl called Winter Comfort, my current knitting of a free pattern is all of the above, I still need to decide on a book pattern and one to buy---had anyone seen Brooklyn Tweeds
new booklet, the patterns are lovely Wool People Volume 2 I especially love Winnowing, and Spruce Forest.

My friend Denise's husband will have surgery on Monday, they hope--his brain is still very swollen. I feel so badly for her, she has had so much loss in her life in recent years.

My son and his family and his in-laws leave this afternoon for the yearly sojourn to the land of Mickey and Minnie, Tom and I are the only ones in our family who have never been. I hope they have a wonderful safe trip and send this grandmother lots of pictures.

We are headed to CT and then on Sunday on the way home we will stop in Yonkers and see his folks. Hope your weekend is fantastic!!!

KNIT ON!!!!
