Sunny Sunday Morning

Hi Everybody -



After a Thanksgiving that featured a nor'easter w/heavy rain and gusty wind, the weather turned almost Spring-like here in Central CT. It's been warm and sunny since Friday Morning - certainly a great holiday weekend weatherwise. It's almost warm enough to go out onto the patio and crochet the PL afghans.



It' s just about a year since I first found this group and I wanted to mention to you all how much I appreciate all your contributions, messages and helpful hints and of course all our other conversations. I find the Yarners group difficult to navigate with all its' "bells and whistles", so I continue to check in here daily where it is still simple to ask a question or post an answer.



As one who has spent her life in Connecticut, I continue to be fascinated by the traditions and crafts of those members of this group who live all around the globe. Though our locations and residences are miles - and time zones away - we can all speak the same language of those who work with their hands to create beauty.



So, on this weekend, I am thankful for all of you.

I have the excuse that I didn't get out of bed until 1 pm today, so I am a bit behind! I wish we would get a *bit* of sunshine here in western Sweden. I have been doing "catch-up" work, finishing a lot of small projects that each needed just a few steps to be complete. But then I HAD to start crocheting a new round bag (to be felted in the washer) and now I am also working on a new rectangular bag but I forgot to buy more yarn when I was shopping Friday.

My elderly neighbor's funeral was on Wed. As part of the funeral service the priest talked about how thoughtful Kerstin was, that she was always baking and knitting for her husband and how much those homey activities had meant to her husband. Now that she is gone, I don't think he will be with us much longer either.
