Hi everyone!

It's a cold (-10C 14F), clear sunny afternoon here on the Canadian prairie.
It went down to -30C last night, so I plugged my car in. It's not too bad
outside, since there's very little wind.

Ken & I are working hard, cutting and splitting wood, right now he's got the
snowblower going to clear the driveway. I have a nice glass of wine on the
counter, and have little sips as I bring in armloads of wood. ;>)

My Chrismas knitting is complete (wipes forehead in relief), but my sweet
granddaughter has asked for a pair of gloves to match the fun fur hat &
scarf I made for her. I have one glove almost complete, so hopefully will
have them in the mail to her this week.

My Australian knitting exchange buddy has suggested the two of us have a KAL
for the Hanami Shawl which both of us are anxious to make. Her daughter
will be in a chess tournament, so Deb will have lots of time for knitting.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Shelagh

Hi Shelagh, are you actually making gloves from the fun fur or using it as
trim?

I'm using a sportweight pink acrylic along with the fun fur. I thought the
fun fur would make the gloves too bulky if I used it on every row, so I used
it every 2nd row on the cuff and every 4th row on the rest. It makes a nice
stripe effect. Here's a picture: http://tinyurl.com/39y8gg

They are going to be so pretty. I bet she will love them.
