Well, we finished another project ... a scarf for the 2009 Special Olympics. This was a very quick knit using Red Heart yarn. The pattern was February 15th Houndstooth Pattern from a pattern a day calendar. The colors are 0885 Delft Blue and 0311 White. The scarf should measure 5 3/4 by 60 inches. The only problem is this scarf rolls up ... it does not lay flat as my Mom did not add an edging. But, it is still cute and most important ... finished!!!
We really have not been knitting as much as I like (to cuddle). The EZ Surprise Baby Sweater is still on the needles but no progress as Mom has a brain snap poo and has one side off 1 to 3 stitches!! It think we are going to start another Special Olympics scarf as they need 5000 and last count we heard they had 1000. So, we might do one more and hopefully it will be flat. You think??
Then there is Christmas knitting ... or the lack of!! We know we will be knitting a gray wool blend scarf for a family member and other than that we have no thought. We don't even have anything picked out for the little man (grandson - my little buddie). But, as long as it is red he will be happy.
We did clean up the craft room ... you know Mom should take a picture as it really is clean and organized for the moment until she starts looking for something!! She found some cross stitch patterns that she has been wanting to stitch for Christmas. If she started now do you really think she could get one finished and hanging on the tree by Christmas 2008?? We'll see but don't hold your breath!!

Fonzie, you REALLY need to get control of your Mother. Sounds like she needs direction, or maybe not - ha ha - I, like her, enjoy the thought of doing things sometimes more than doing things. The problem is there is never enough time to do - just to dream about doing - LOL. Oh well, such is life!!!
