Soup weather

-
Tonight predicted low is 16 °F (-9°C). Started a soup pot, frozen rotiessiere chicken carcass, will after carcass comes out of the pot And everything is deboned, add the chicken meat add lots of finely chopped celery and carrots will use homemade egg noodles instead of rice this go round. Making enuff for several suppers. My four most hated words in the English language are 'BLACK FRIDAY' (I will never buy anything when those words are used) and the other two are 'YOU KNOW'. Almost every commercial on TV from now on using BF will get shut off. Over used for almost everything being sold. Most all of yesterday had snow squalls, with a strong wond blowing the snow that went by here landed 10 miles up the valley. Niut Mountains with the Homathko river running thru my neighbours place.

    Soup weather indeed. Black Friday commercials are showing up here too. Egads! Only thing more annoying are the ads for cars.

    What a gorgeous photo! It's been a long time since I've been in that country (out West to us here in Vermont), and seeing your pics, I really miss it. Here's wishing for a warm winter (on the inside) with lots of soup!

    That picture is breath-taking. Black Friday can go run. We never had anything like that here in South Africa. Now it's all I've heard for the last few weeks. Soup for me is the ultimate comfort food and yours sounds delicious. Stay safe and warm.

    Gorgeous view! My daughter and I have a vintage furniture shop and we are usually closed on Black Friday. No need for it! Starting to get cold here in Rochester, NY so definitely soup weather!@

    We just finished our first soup of the season. It is getting chilly for us - 50F is nippy in the South - and I am already thinking of what the next batch will be. We desperately need some rain, which isn't fun with the colder temps, but I hope it comes next week. No snow for us, though. I will have to enjoy it through the pictures that you post. Hope you stay warm and have lots of sports to watch as you knit and spin. And I thoroughly agree with all that has been said about Black Friday!!

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
