IS IT COLD ENOUGH?

Twinings is finished! Christmas Lace by Julie Sprague a ravelry link
These were a quick knit.
The Ultra Alpaca (Winter White) scarf is for the woman that takes care of my Mother. I saw somewhere that someone added fringe and thought it would look nice on this one. 26 stitches and size 8 needle. 6”x60” not including fringe.
The Malabrigo (Little Lovley, light to bright pinks) scarf is for the gal that does my hair. 34 stitches and size 6 needle. 7.25”x60”

Kitties Do Not Like Cold, Non-Sunshine Days

It has been a long time since my last post. I have been busy knitting, just not posting. I read other blogs but have not left any comments. I am still mending from my surgery of June 25th. My knee is not cooperating. I have had artificial cartilage injected into this knee. I still can not bear weight which means I can not go up or down stairs. The NYC subway system is not a delight as they are not handicap friendly. I am practicing pain management without the use of drugs. What joy that brings!
