Iris' Knit n Things

There’s nothing I enjoy more than listening to a book, while I knit. It’s been so cold and Baxter really could use a warm sweater when he goes out doors. I am using yarn from my stash. Noro silk garden, color 2190. I love the colors. The pattern is free from Lion-brand.  I think he likes it, or is debating whether to leave.  I think he looks good in it. The pattern is easy and a quick knit. I will try another, however,  I will knit a little longer.  

 Here’s GogoDynomo ! I have her blocking.  She turned out lovely.  I love how she makes me look like an Aztec warrior when I wear her!

 I am stuck home due to snow and icy roads. So I crochet some slippers. I really love how warm and cozy these feel. On my next try, I think I use a harder, more supportive sole. Right now, these feel more like socks. This is my first winter in retirement, and I am so happy I do not have to be out in that cold.  For now, I’ll complete the other slipper and probably make a couple more as gifts. I also will prepare for an interview I have tomorrow, for a volunteer at a Hospice service.  It’s for an administrator. I figured something to do a couple of days a week.  For now I’ll wait and see what six more weeks of winter feels like with my new slippers!
