I TOLD You He Was Smart!!!

Sweet Willie Browne is an exceptional child. He solved the communication problem we were having when I visited and has also found a cure for the common cold! I got this directive from him earlier this week when I was a little under the weather. I'm all better now! The child is a genius I tell you! And a cuter genius there never was.

I splurged and got myself a think pad mini lap top thingie (that's it's technical name) just before I went to Minneapolis last weekend. I was inspired to do so after watching Dale Harriet and her faithful companion 'Hermine' at Knit Night. So handy. So cute. So wee. To demonstrate what my friends call my 'Amish-ness', I didn't turn it on first thing. No, instead I ran around playing "Let's See Its Size In Relationship To This' for 15 minutes before I settled in with it. Here are my favorites.
Small size navel orange.

Next to the 'lap top' I bought for William

I've only had it a week and have had no help with it and I have already learned to scam wireless connections from my neighbors and play games on it. Amish. Puh!
As far as Finish It February goes, I finished these socks for William:
as well as the second Irish Hiking Scarf I had going. This one is out of Caron Simply soft and is so nice and cuddly. Day and night from the Ninja Death Scarf. This one wouldn't make as effective a weapon though.

Ben has had enough of taking care of my snot-laden self this week and wouldn't model it, so I just put it on the floor with the two sides together so it looks weird, ahem...that is to say...'artsy'!
I ventured out to supper with a friend tonight. I still sound like Kermit The Frog but it's a step up from the dulcet tones of Bea Arthur I demonstrated on Wednesday and Thursday and the clicks and beeps I was left with on Friday. I figured I was no longer contagious and needed to get out of the house for a bit. Went to Uno's for lobster rolls which sounds really really wrong but tasted very very right. Especially since I've been living on cough syrup and Sprite Zero all week. I was out about 90 minutes and that was enough. I'm pooped and ready to settle in. Off to work on my entrelac scarf and watch a movie. Have a great Saturday night!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
