I don’t have much to show today. I finished John’s socks last night about a half hour before I went to bed. I cast on a Midas hat for one of my nieces. She is an incredible woman and activist. She has been wearing an acrylic beanie. I want her to have something more meaningful, so I’m making her hat out of wool from a farm in Minnesota that is dyed by a woman in South Dakota. Both businesses are owned by women. It is unknown if Dalai, the sheep the wool is from, is a woman.
There isn’t much hat at this point, but Wrigley consented to model it.
The high tomorrow is only 9. I might be casting on mittens and staying home all day.

No snow day in spite of my inside out pjs, spoon under the pillow and an embarrassing display with a native American rain stick.

What a lovely model you have! If I tried to put a hat on my dog, in any state of finished, I’m 99.9% sure she’d try to eat it.

Awww he looks so obedient. Cold settling in here tomorrow as well. Hope the barn classes are not cancelled, but really some of our students can’t come in the severe weather. They are wheelchair bound and it is tough enough on them to just get out in good weather!

She is a really good dog. Stay warm! I hope you can get out to the barn, but if you can’t I hope you find a good knitting project to keep you busy.

I would make Wrigley mittens if she wouldn’t chew them off. I’m making mittens for myself. If I ever decide to sit down and start them.

I will make her anything. She is such a great kid. For graduation she requested socks, and she even wants 100% wool socks so she can compost them. I’m so happy my kids have such a good role model.

Wrigley is so pleased to get any attention. I think the hat will be great, but right now the yarn is crocking a lot and it is annoying enough to make me not want to knit it.

That really does get irritating to deal with! Is there anything that can be done with it?
