KLV named it first and kudos to her. I had a hunch that the character in this cartoon was modeled after the character George in The Grapes of Wrath (*wrong title, thanks Harry, not sure where my head was*) Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Once again, KLV brought the internet to her and found out, indeed my hunch was right (go to the FAQ). Literature touches so many aspects of our lives, even if we don’t recognize it.

Despite my best efforts I have been making considerable progress on the Christmas List. In fact, I would venture to say that *gasp* I’m almost done. Almost done with the knittable gifts, we have yet to tackle the other portion of the family tree. All in good time.
Picture Pages, Picture Pages…Time to watch Bill Cosby do a picture page with you…
This is a portion of the blocking that happened last weekend. The whole house was covered. I have to admit that I really enjoyed this. As well as all of the weaving in of ends/seaming etc. I found it to be as satisfying as knitting the pieces. Am I a crazy person?
I’ve completed over half of my Dad’s scarf. It’s taking a loooong time to knit this one up and I’ve finally memorized the pattern repeats. What can I say, I’m a little dense. This picture is super dark, but it’s the only way to see the texture of the cables. My gauge has loosened up quite a bit, so it’s going a lot faster.
I leave you with this cutest picture ever. Gabby has adopted Elisa and Mike as her new favorite people. She just got up and posed for this perfect pic…

Okay, where to begin? The heart scarf is so pretty, the Noro half-gloves are awesome(!), and that’s a super cute picture of Mike, Gabby and Elisa…
I’m sorry to hear about your car, but I heard there’s some European chocolate in the mail for you, so maybe that will help?? (It left on Saturday….)
George? “Of Mice and Men”, and not “Grapes of…”?
Yo, yo, yo *achoo*!
The wristwarmers are awesome, and if you think Big Kureyon is cool, just wait until you try something with Silk Garden.
wow! i love those wrist warmers! i haven’t ever used big kureyon, but i do understand your “thick and thin” comment, as i have experienced that with plain old kureyon. i like it, but i also don’t like it, because sometimes the thick part makes it look like i messed up a stitch, when really it’s just, well, thick!
the scarves look great!
The Noro wristwarmers are so pretty! Love the scarves too
Your Gabby pup is so cute! That is a great pic with Elisa and Mike!
I had the Picture Pages song in my head all afternoon :-). Those scarves look great; hope the car is all better.
