brr!
It's freezing! I got home 45 minutes ago, and my toes still have that cold hurting feeling. I don't know how or why Abby is still going potty outside-- if I were her, I would have a potty strike. She can't even walk in the snow! It reaches above her back. She just kinda hops around, shimmys her legs apart, and lets loose. I'm impressed- she's either really smart, or really dumb. I can't decide.
C'mon mom, it's not that cold, just a little bit further?
I have a cold weather hat to show you. It's for my dad, who complains that no one ever makes him anything (probably because I would hear about the time wasted while I was doing so). Even so, I decided it was time to make him a nice winter hat. He lives in Arizona, but they take day trips to the Northern elevations like Prescott and Flagstaff frequently so it will get some use. I knew he liked cables,so I asked Jared, who always makes great hats, for some advice. He was quite helpful and one of his suggestions was perfect:
Pattern: Winter Femme by Diana Gates
Yarn: Filatura Di Crosa Wave (75% wool, 25% silk) in color #12, a tweedy chocolaty brown
Needles: Inox circular, size 5 and Bates DPNs, size 5
Dad likes it a lot, even though the hat is a little short. It just covers the ears, but I learned my dad would like the folded brim variety of hat next time. It was a great pattern, very well written, and the cables looked great, even through the decreases to the crown.
Abby liked the wool (as always), but I think she wants her Christmas presents more.
Mom sent me a package with the Christmas gifts that wouldn't fit inside my luggage, and little Abby went nuts when she saw these guys. While I was in AZ, my mom, sis and I went to one of those pottery painting places. I had never been to one before, and it was a lot of fun-- I made Abs a new water bowl, and it came out super cute.
Abby wasn't quite sure about it at first. She just kinda sat in front of it and stared at it.
Mom also put a surprise in my package. She goes to crafty antique stores sometimes, and came across this sheepy item at an after-Christmas clearance. Isn't it cute?
Stay warm!
