When I was driving home today I noticed Canadian geese all over one of the playing fields instead of on the small lake.
and if you look at bit closer you will understand why

iced over
At least none of them are dumb enough to have been frozen in place.
Knitting
Ms Copper has been eying my alpaca scarf for a couple of weeks now. She keeps commenting on it, and how nice it would be to have something similar. In a better color of course.
Then this nice person posted a swap on the UK Swap list and I went for this

Swap Yarn
which I started. (Would you believe she has perfected a forlorn, wanting look?) Especially since she has been ill for the last couple of days (confirmed today and started on antibiotics by the nice FP at Croughton), I could hardly turn her down.

Scarf start
Since we were at Croughton, we made the post office and library stops as well. I had also signed up for a Chanukah exchange. This package had just arrived ….
I am waiting till the first night. Yes, I am going to wait. Really.
Reading
Raided the library shelves…
Lady Killer – Lisa Scottiline
Just Breathe – Susan Wiggs
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union – Michael Chabon
When Day Breaks – Mary Jane Clark
Running with the Demon – Terry Brooks
Heir to Sevenwaters – Juliet Marillier
Is that argyle look all from the yarn, or is that your pattern? Whatever, it is VERY cool!
the argyle is how the yarn is dyed. One of those times when knitting the right number of stitches and a consistent gauge actually works. I am not sure how much the yarn costs outside the UK, but if anyone wants any sent to them…. Second daughter is headed back to the US ~20 Jan.
Ah, I was going to ask the same question!
