slow and steady

(here)

one stitch at a time!!!

one column after another

the new wip keeps going

I don't like the yarn I chose to use

but we'll see when I'm done

the little no longer needed bag

has been stuffed with tissues

and put in the hand bag

so it is no longer

useless or unwanted

I even looked for buttons for it

the one above was given to me by a friend who bought these in

Alaska

they are made of bone

I don't know whose bone

but maybe a deer or an elk or a buff   they don't have buffalo in Alaska

so maybe a moose-es!

well they didn't look like they belonged so I dug a little deeper in the

button box

and found these

amber-ish glass rounds ... perfectly sized to go through the holes in the cable stitch

so that's done!!!

the  weather this weekend was fantastic

warm and sunny

and

Springlike

actually it felt

weird

it's too warm and it doesn't feel right

the geese are coming in by the gaggle

and leaving again

they seem agitated

unsettled

confused

probably know something we don't

(this was taken at a time after they had left!!!)

just in case you are scanning for geese)

(that's a contrail... obviously left by a plane flying over just before I took this

it isn't goose gas!!!!)

what

 I know

is that last night

Downton Abbey

started again

second season is here

I waited all day long like a child waiting for

Christmas

and when it started

I didn't want it to ever stop!!!!

even with all the horror of another war story to be told

but it's just

fantabulously fabtasticly

glorious

to have it back

:) :) :)

so don't call me or come by on Sunday nights for a while!!!!

just let me be

on the couch

with

all of them in that

amazing house

:)  :) :) :) :) :) :)

!!!!!!

so... while I waited for them all to come back

I worked on the wip a bit more

and

 after one disaster that I wasn't sure I would be able to remidy

I got back to working on the

columns

and

dropped

 stitches

lots and lots of

dropped stitches

:) :)

edit...
 it is now snowing!!
just a little bit
but
it's snowing!!!!
