How I spent my morning

Hello, Thank goodness for knitting.  I have spent many weeks here over the last 6 years knitting.  When my brother was still able to work, and my sister-in-law  had to go out of town , I nannied for them, always bringing knitting/Crochet projects to fill the hours. As he was able to do less and less  we watched a ton of TV, mostly Star Trek Next Generation or Deep Space Nine,  but I always had knitting. So now , as I sit here in these last hours, I am knitting. Mark is wearing one of the many pairs of socks I knit him. He would make a joke about my knitting during the show if he were aware. Just in case, I'll be sure to show him this lovely shawl.

But, this is how I will get through this day.
Pray for peace for him.

Time for bed after a very long day. WAIT! Who is hiding on my windowsill? #catsandknitting #slowknitter #catsmakeyoufeelbetter

Headed down to So. Cal to be with my family. Two positive things so far: TSA pre-check, and got a seat at the gate with an outlet. #slowknitter #lookingforanythingpositive

I'm using some left over Cascade 220 in this gorgeous red that doesn't photograph well.  Red never does.  The pattern is super easy and because it's crochet, super fast.  If I like the mitts, I might make a bunch for charity, or maybe even Christmas gifts.

Love these free LYSTour patterns, and I wish I had time to hit all the shops like I used to.

Peace,
