I know.. bad snowbear

It's true I normally have Fridays off. But, due to the weather Monday, work is allowing us who had to miss due to the weather, to make up the time instead of taking personal time off. So.. Since it is only middle of January, I'm taking the time to work & saving the tiime off.

So,, that means I have to crawl out of bed at 5:00 or so am and put in 8 hrs.. I normally work 40 hrs in a 4 day work week, 32 in 3 days.. and 1 day of 8... that day is usually Thursday. So, tomorrow I'll be a normal working stiff, *sigh*..

I just received a new yarn kit to make a Dragon Scarf. My grandson's name is Draco, which means Big Dragon. So I'm knitting him a dragon scarf. My daughter stated she'll put it up in his room. His blanket will be finished tomorrow.. The big one is already finished.

Then I'm knitting 2- 8in. squares. These are going out to a family who lost their youngest son in a car accident. He was 2. Several of us are contributing squares to add to the afghan for the family to provide a bit of comfort in this time of need.

Knitting helps keep me sane, it's relaxing, easy, and 5yr olds can do it. If you can tie your shoe, heck you'd you awesome!

I continue to shake my head at people in general. I really can't believe some people are out there w/ out keepers! They need someone to take care of them.. I shudder at the thought of some of those people.

Well, since I fell asleep last night at about 8:30, and woke up a bit after midnight, w/ out any other sleep, I'm going to get ready for bed and snuggle down & crash.

Here is wishing everyone a happy & safe Friday & a great weekend- I'm going to relax, knit, and watch the snow! Thanks for stopping bye, be sure & say hi!.

Hi Snowbear! Knitting is very popular these days! Mason, PsuedoSoldier, Dharma....I can't think of anyone else, but those are three of the blogs I read and they do it too. You make it sound so easy but I might just be two left hands at it if and when I do try!!


Have a nice day at work on Friday!

Believe me... if you can tie your shoe laces.. you can knit. It is easy! There are only 2 stitches in knitting.. You just change how you move the yarn.

It is relaxing, and it helps w/ dieting... you can't eat while knitting .. well.. not easily anyway..lol

Thanks for stopping by!

Is that a dragon pattern? Or like an illusion scarf? I'd love to see a picture if you could post it. Or I'll googlewhack until I find it, meh.
