Happy Birthday

My birthday is today. It is a relaxing birthday but it is frightening to see the years go by so fast. One year ago today I retired..It has flown by and been a calm year with not having to work or commute- not counting my family crises.Knitting has been a blessing this year helping fill the void of not teaching after 32 years .

Happy Birthday

Ole ole... finished Fiesta Purse!

My house is situated on the Pa side so I cross this bridge on the Delaware to go into New York. This is our first real snow fall of the season. Eagles were soaring this morning but my camera is too slow and not enough zoom to catch them. But, you may catch them on this live video cam they have here. http://www.poconoweather.com/vidcam7.html


Peeky and Molly snuggling to get warm to day...

Fiesta purse- my first purse -
Pleasantly surprised on how this soy/wool felted.It seemed so thin while knitting it on my new Options needles.
This pattern started in the front of the purse and then you sew the cast on together. At first -I was confused with the pattern- but just followed the directions, and it all clicked and made sense.
