Sunbathing on the South Porch
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Elvis and ME enjoying our South porch on a nice winter day!!

It is only 31 degrees outside. But it is a Beautiful SUNNY day in South Dakota. My dog Elvis and I are enjoying the afternoon Sunbathing on our South Porch, where it is Sunny and 80 degrees. Elvis is lapping up the Sun, and I am reading a very good book, and drinking an ICE tea. Life is Good!!

Rabbit Tracks Lace Scarf
Mood:  happy
A lady named Alison inspired me to knit this scarf. I would read her blog, and listen to how she knit her scarves for people in her church congregation. She really loves doing this. People call her the scarf lady. So I took a look at her free patterns, and the Rabbit Tracks pattern appealed to me. I knit this scarf using size 13 needles, and Yarn Bee Soft Delight yarn, in the color green. The color doesn't show up well in the pictures but it is really Beautiful. The color is lime green, with pink, blue, and yellow running through it. This yarn is really a soft delight to work with. The pattern for this scarf can be found at
http://www.spindyeknit.com/patternfiles/rabbittracks/  I think that is will be a perfect Spring time scarf.

Chevron socks
Mood:  happy
I knit these socks for my oldest daughter Jeni. She will be 30 on February 15th. I got them done just in time. She will be stopping over later today, so I will give them to her today. I used Sockotta yarn. The color is Pink/Orange. This was an easy pattern to knit only a 2 row pattern repeat. I like the way that the pattern showed up with this yarn. The pattern can be found here at
