We had a house itty bitty condo full of loved ones as
Kate and her family of 5 lost power at their home earlier this week due to all the icky weather we have been experiencing. We all snuggled in for a day and night of fun with the little guys, and stores of patience in the crowded space from all of us big people.
Good thing for Legos and crayons for the grandsons,
a few good reads for Kate (some from our building's leave a book/take a book room...such a great idea),
and knitting needles for me.
And good wine on hand for us both.
I did manage to get my big orange sweater completed just in time for a snow packed morning.

Now onto socks for a friend.
It's quiet here now.
Too quiet.
I do so love when I am surrounded by laughter and fun and a bit of chaos.
It just works a whole lot better at the farm!
Stay warm my friends,

What a beautiful sweater!!
I know the feeling about the grandkids. Love it while they're here, and love the quiet when they've gone home.
Love that sweater, the colour looks great on you. What fun but as you say a bit crowded for comfort!
Wonderful work on the sweater! Stay warm!

The orange sweater is beautiful!

It sounds like you had heaps of fun, even if it was a bit crowded.
The orange jersey is lovely, my mothers favourite colour.

Gorgeous sweater . . . sorry about no power, thanks to you, cuddling in the condo . . . " The Warmth" must have felt wonderful!
Congrats on finishing your sweater - it's BEAUTIFUL! I'm working on my very first cardigan and I'm so nervous that it's not going to fit in the end. It's on the back burner right now until I finish Christmas gifts.
What a beautiful sweater!
love, love, love that sweater, orange is so often overlooked!!
i can only handle chaos for a day or two....then the quiet is deafining ;)
go figure!!
Lots of memories made during this time!
Joan,
I pattern on your sweater is gorgeous. I also like the color. I think orange is a fabulous color. Merry Christmas. Christa

I've had my boy here for the past few days and it's a re-adjustment for us all, but a good one. xo
