I hope you are taking care of yourself too, and what a lovely gesture to find the time to knit up a pair of quick mitts for her too. As someone who always feels cold I am sure she appreciated it. Take care of your knee too. I hope this week is less hectic for both of you.

I find when I am inundated like this, with family illness or surgery, and the house to keep up, and all the million things we do to stay afloat, I'm fine. It is when I am relieved of the situation and it is over that I collapse and fall apart. I am very aware of this about me, but I don't know how to change it. <br />I'll have to ask my counselor , she's good with things like that. kathy bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534431969086721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820099952986761054.post-5279852361990514492021-01-10T18:47:07.090-05:002021-01-10T18:47:07.090-05:00Oh my goodness, what a lot you two are dealing wit...Oh my goodness, what a lot you two are dealing with at the moment on top of all the Covid/lockdown stuff.

Today as we ...Congrats on whipping up those mitts. Today as we took our walk in South Florida I was commenting that I needed a pair of mitts. Unfortunately for me, Naples Florida is experiencing a below normal Jan so with a high of 60 the morning walks are nippy for my fingers.<br /><br />Sounds like you have lots of fun projects started but I certainly can understand not having time to work on them as you become the person that has to do it all plus work fulltime. I hope you get a chance to relax with a little knitting this week.<br /><br />Just read your "about" section so you can certainly relate to my kids. Tom enjoyed saying for years that he had 5 children by 5 different women. That's because the 3 oldest boys were adopted, he had one with his first wife (she passed away in her 30s from heart disease) and one by me. Because of the large age difference between the older set and the younger set, my middle child was an aunt 3 times before she was born and my youngest son was an uncle 4 times. It was great for my grandkids since we had kids for them to play with as well as plenty of toys.MaureenHDhttps://knittingissofun.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820099952986761054.post-40081780627471912262021-01-10T16:07:08.662-05:002021-01-10T16:07:08.662-05:00goodness me, great that they found the blockage an...goodness me, great that they found the blockage and fixed it!

I know you manage well with lots of WIPs so I’m sure you’ll be fine and sometimes casting on is the hardest bit for me because I procrastinate about doing swatches or not. I think you are right and that the mohair will unite the other colours for your Love note. Mohair I believe is a nightmare to think back or frog so perhaps swatch a bit if you are worried first.HighlandHeffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954625467998406097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820099952986761054.post-61186782915330251022021-01-03T20:57:11.278-05:002021-01-03T20:57:11.278-05:0012 days of cast ons sounds interesting - not sure ...12 days of cast ons sounds interesting - not sure it is for me as I tend to only have two at the most things on the go.
