Pumpkin Sunrise

I was out with Frodo and just loved the winter scenery.  Winter has been my favorite season for as long as I can remember.  I like the white and the cold.  I think Frodo's favorite season is winter as well.  He loves to sit outside on the patio step.  I think when it gets below 20 degrees he makes his sitting time outside a bit shorter than usual. I should be done with the second sleeve of the seamless hybrid sweater  tonight.  That means that I get to knit the body and the sleeves together on one big circular needle, it is what I've been waiting for! I am also working on the citron shawl .  My sister is also knitting this with me.  So it is a mini knit along.  It is a fun pattern and very easy to knit while watching tv as long as it is not an increase row.  Then I need to pay attention.   I had to share the gift my sister sent me!  She made me this cute little bag that holds decorative stitch marker...

I cannot believe it is February!  Time flies as I get older.  I do not know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am trying to enjoy each and every day.  I am still reading the same book.  I am a very slow reader, I also only read right before bed and I frequently fall asleep.  I finished the Calendar Scarf and you can check out some of the pictures in previous posts.  I started the Citron Scarf with my sister in Pittsburgh.  I continue to work on the sleeve of the Seamless Hybrid sweater for my son. Check our Ginny's Blog- Small Things  and see what everyone else is knitting this week!

I finished another shawl !  The reason I am done so fast is because I ran out of yarn.  To be truthful, I knew when I started the project that I did not have enough but thought "oh well".  It is long enough to wear, it is just missing a lovely lacy edge.  I plan on making The Simple But Not Boring Shawl again!  Here a  few pictures: Don't you think Frodo is in desperate need of a grooming visit?  He goes in two days and will come back smelling pretty!
