Inaugration socks. Started watching as soon as anything was on MSNBC this morning, cast on 72 stitches on 2.25 needles and got 22 rows of 2x2 ribbing done before the swearing in ceremony. They will be forever know as the Inaugration socks. Blues followed by greens, have enuff of both colours to finish the pair. Second pix is the mostly odds and sods of leftover sock yarn, only colour from a new skein will be the biggest ball of green. The two pair for almost local girls, first pair for Maela 10 and second for Everlee 6. Yesterday made a medium sized pot of lentil soup, enuff for last nights supper and today (just in case anything exciting happened at inauguration). Everything went smoothly and it was a class act al the way. Welcome Joe and Kamala.

Up early again this morning to my local chorus of singing coyotes. They must have a den fairly close by judging by the morning I hear them. Miss E 6+ yrs got socks from me again. In return the GrandMother picks up my trash and takes to dump. Another couple of pair for Maela, she got the kid mohair stuffed pr, took a bit of time to figure out how to get them on, but I think once worn the mohair to sort of felt in place (or so I hope). The pair on top in pix are the kid mohair stuffed. Then two pair for my SIL in Va., she wears them to bed in winter months. Its been a relatively mild winter so far, two dumps of noticable snow in November and early December, thats been pretty much it. So far (knock on wood) hasn't even been arctic air cold, usually at least once a winter we get a stretch of -30°C, not yet. I'm staying home and only going to town for groceries when I'm out of basic stuff, maybe every 2-3 months. Biggest minor problem is needing a haircut, last one was in
