Out Wednesday to KB, taking all three pairs socks currently underway. First sock for delivery to Fernie is well over half way down patterned leg, second pr are shorties started well before Christmas. Shorties are closest to being finished so will work at them today and hopefully will finish second sock, in time to wear to bed tonight. Third pair are Opal wool and cotton mix, intended them to be for me this summer, but think now they will go into a prolonged time out. Want to finished first two projects before finishing the Opal mix. Nothing else new and excitingly different to report, quiet and peaceful just the way I like it. Yesterdays high was +11 almost spring like, now tho a bit of a cold front on the way in.

The last of purchased sock yarn for this year. Bought most of above in 2018 and have promised myself not to buy any in 2019. Barter or freebies is another story. Have a pair promised using one of the oranges and likely some of the lime green, customer wants wild. Not much going on in my wild mountain valley, very little snow left, but lots of ice. The 2 + feet we had in January melted due to above normal temp and several days of rain. Planning on having a go at my driveway tomorrow, knitting bee and the monthly good food box will be in Tatla Lake. Will be my first trip out of the house in a couple of weeks. That's one of the reasons I've been so quiet, nothing going on to find anything out. Finished second pair of socks for Jo's grandson Eli, will pass them over on Friday when she comes to pick up goodies for a dump run. Now back to socks for Gayle in Fernie,  pix last blog. Pale pink is main colour. Cooked a largish butternut squash a couple of day...

Lots of knitting done over the holidays, watched college football bowl games (a few) and the World Junior Hockey championships. And weather was crappy, rain and wind dropped snow in my yard from 2 + feet to less than 8 inches, right now temps are +5 with a strong south wind. Hopefully warm enuff and with so much wind the ice on my driveway will soon be gone. Had a bunch of hot pinks, reds, and lots of other colours that I thought might work for Monstersocks, so much left over after adult size 9+ that I then made a pair for Everlee (3 years old) then a pair for Maela 8 years. Now glad to see the end of this colour range. First pix are the socks for Maela, then the adult version and last socks for Everlee and orange for her grandmother. I sent shortie socks to VA for Christmas for my SIL, she likes to sleep in same when its cold. Next socks will be the second pair for Gayle Vallance in Fernie. Have sent pix to her to make sure all the colours suit. Had a very quiet Chr...
