Good Saturday afternoon

Hi everyone!

It's a cold (-10C 14F), clear sunny afternoon here on the Canadian prairie. It went down to -30C last night, so I plugged my car in. It's not too bad outside, since there's very little wind.

Ken & I are working hard, cutting and splitting wood, right now he's got the snowblower going to clear the driveway. I have a nice glass of wine on the counter, and have little sips as I bring in armloads of wood. ;>)

My Chrismas knitting is complete (wipes forehead in relief), but my sweet granddaughter has asked for a pair of gloves to match the fun fur hat & scarf I made for her. I have one glove almost complete, so hopefully will have them in the mail to her this week.

My Australian knitting exchange buddy has suggested the two of us have a KAL for the Hanami Shawl which both of us are anxious to make. Her daughter will be in a chess tournament, so Deb will have lots of time for knitting.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hi Shelagh, are you actually making gloves from the fun fur or using it as trim?

I'm using a sportweight pink acrylic along with the fun fur. I thought the fun fur would make the gloves too bulky if I used it on every row, so I used it every 2nd row on the cuff and every 4th row on the rest. It makes a nice stripe effect. Here's a picture:

It is nippy in Montreal as well, Shelagh, and even colder in Labrador. But I can't wait until Wednesday, when I will be home for a couple of weeks. Knitting? What is that???? I have had less time this year than ever before in my life. Please, God, after Christmas, give me SOME knitting time. I don't want much, just a little bit each day.

Higs, Katherine
