Knitting Til the Sun Goes Down

I have been knitting a lot these days again. Trying to get things done before I go back into the hospital. I have the yellow sweater done for my girlfriend's May birthday and have all but one short sleeve done on my sister's sweater for her April birthday. I also whipped this little newborn hat up over the weekend. My daughter-in-law Alicia's sister is expecting a baby in May and my dil is having her shower the Saturday we are up there visiting. She invited me so I feel obligated to go and am working on some projects for gifts, this being one of them. I have a felted bag I have to do for my friend's other daughter and take it with me in April as she lives in Indiana.

I am going to make a little striped hat and matching sweater for the baby in a 9 months since he or she is due in May. She only wants bright colors so I am making a crimson and white striped sweater and hat combo. After that, I will have everything caught up so may start on the grandson's Christmas sweaters.



We were expecting Jack's sister and brother-in-law this weekend, but she called and it may be postponed. They live in Lubbock, TX and are driving to North Caroline to pick up their son, who is in the army and coming home from Afghanistan. He was supposed to be home this weekend, but they haven't heard from him so they doubt he will be back in the states by then. We spent all day yesterday shampooing carpets so they were nice and fresh and we had just finished putting the furniture back when she called!



Our weather here has been pleasant for the most part. It did get cold for about a week, but it warmed up nicely today. We even got a bit of sleet on Friday, but that didn't last long. Too bad the morons that live here can't seem to understand the concept of slowing down on wet and slick roads because there were accidents everywhere and it wasn't even that bad out.



Hope everyone out there in cyber land has a wonderful Valentine's Day.
