I thought you would like to see how the projects are going. These are the start of the socks in the trekking yarn I told you about over Christmas.
These are the endpaper mitts with the yarn you bought me. I wanted to get a shot without the "seam" showing, but the way it's divided on my needles prevented that. Oh well. Last night I started the increases as the mitt moves up your hand. I've been knitting with the main color in my right hand, and the contrast color in my left, and it's AWESOME. No tangles, whatsoever.
Last night the full moon was on 100 watts and shone in our bedroom all night like a light was on. I have never seen it so bright at night before.
Love,
Ruth

Same moon effect here, and it lit my chicken chore time almost as good as the outside barn light.
Your knitting is awesome! And yes, that's the way to do stranded knitting, one color in each hand, and you can get a good rhythm going that way. In fact, you are going to find plain knitting very ho-hum now... pattern knitting, whether stranded or gansey, makes you want to continue knitting rows with changes throughout each row. Funny how that happens.
Cleaning this a.m. and making the soup pie for Jo and Cathy who are coming by for a visit. Sitting to write this, I realized that I had already worked up a sweat, and might have to clean myself up again before they get here. Too much cleaning!!!
Your yarn bins are now down cellar---nothing in the buck shed anymore--and everything fits. Easy for you to go through them, anytime of the day. I put all your unfinished projects in one bin, and am debating sending you one project every month as an incentive to finish them....wouldn't that be an unwelcome surprise!!
Love, mom
