Purls and Pugs

Stephanie is one lucky Grandma...

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I had a really great time eating, visiting, and being merry! My cousin had been working on a project for my grandmother for Christmas. She bought a digital frame and put all sorts of pictures of all the grandkids, dogs, and grandma in there ready to go. I think she did a fantastic job! Here are some pictures from the photo shoot at my house before Christmas.

 

I even was able to finish my grandmother's scarf just in time for it to be wrapped up for Christmas. Here are all the details:

Pattern:Knitty Gritty Thoughts Woven Cables Scarf
Yarn: Knit Picks Elegance in Oatmeal
Needles: Knit Picks size 8
Notes: I only did 3 of the 4 repeats of the pattern.

Winter Wonderland

This is what I was greeted with Sunday morning at my house. This is a shot from my garage looking at other parts of the circle. Notice all the snow that I have to remove from my driveway. Good thing I bought myself a nice new snowblower this year, so it took no time at all. And I heard my grandmother got 11" of snow at her house near Midway Airport. Geez!

I had driven in the snow the night before, and I was cursing  it the whole time. But I think that if I lived somewhere where there was no snow for Christmas, I would feel less festive. That's just me. It is so pretty to look at....must be why I didn't leave the house on Sunday!

So, while I was snowbound, I decided to work on the scarf for my grandmother. It's much longer than the last time you saw it, and it's still not done. This is about 1.75 balls of KP Elegance. I have one more to add to it, and I have one week. One week?! Holy Cow! Did you know Christmas was that close?

Yoda also took advantage of being inside all day. She used Mommy's cuddly blanket as a sleeping bag. Isn't she so cute being all cuddly and sleepy?
