Super Bowl Sunday

Yes, Dave and I are watching the Super Bowl. No, we don't really care who wins. We're just enjoying watching a good football game!


I started and ended the day with an Ice Drop. This Doodle Ice Drop is in size 20 Lizbeth #645, Grape Dk. The handi-wind shuttle is by Dave Stanbrough of Grizzly Mountain Arts.


My other Doodle Ice Drop of the day is in size 20 Lizbeth #644, Boysenberry Dk, and I used another handi-wind shuttle from Grizzly Mountain Arts.


Mom decided to join the Sanditon MKAL. She joined us a week into the knit-along, but she's making good progress. Mom has now finished the first two clues in this beautiful red, her favorite color. Mom chose to work in one color, using yarn from her stash. I think she made a great choice!


I started on Clue 4 today. This week we have an eight row pattern repeat to knit three times. I've managed to finish the first eight rows. As the shawl grows larger, it will be a challenge to complete this week's clue on time.


I spent a little more time working on my Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler. I still have quite a way to go to finish the January section. I guess I shouldn't have set it aside for so long!

    1. I'm really enjoying the sampler, although I don't remember stitching taking so much time! An Ice Drop a day keeps the blues away! ;-)

    1. The older I get, the more I appreciate red. However, blue is still my favorite color!
