Knitting & such

Here is a photo of my latest Socks For Soldiers pair; this one was team knit (I get legs from a machine knitter and I add the feet).

Then I started another knitted bear - I've misplaced my directions for the crocheted bears -   :~(   - so am going back to knitted ones.


I attended the holiday party for my spinning group.  It was also a celebration of the life of one of the members who had unfortunately lost her life to cancer.  Her family gave all of her fiber & yarn to some of her closest friends.  They decided to share it for donations to the family.  So, I got some lovely fiber for spinning - some of it is silk and there is even some cashmere!  I hope to be able to make something lovely that will honor her memory.

There has been a bit more snow here, and it is cold.  I've been caring for the DD & #2GS's little goats as she had to have surgery to repair her ankle & is laid up for some time.  The #2's dad & I take turns "doing the chores" with his help.
