What I did on my day off

I am a compulsive crafter, I knit, spin, bead, learning to tat again, can crochet, don't do it much, bad wrists. Anyways, I have this Etsy site with my handmade stitch markers and I loaded a few more to the site yesterday. While I was there I had to look around and see what other folks had on their sites and got the idea to do beaded knitting needles. I have made needles for my own consumption before and I am up to my hips in beads, I said I was compulsive. So I dragged out all the larger beads and dowel rods and what not and "Viola!" we have beaded needles. These are a prototype, but I like them. Might have to make some more for Etsy. This model is a size 8, 10 inches long. Great for dishcloths and scarves. I got an idea for another type and will try it out here in a bit.

Intro

The scarf is my contribution to the Special Olympics World Winter Games Scarf Project. My daughter, in her younger days, participated in Special Olympics locally and in the Pa State Games. She did very well in her events - wheelchair racing. I saw how much the athletes enjoyed their participation and I just had to make a scarf for the project. I enlisted our local guild and ended up mailing out 24 scarves, including mine. I hope the athletes are blessed by the scarves as much as I was knitting mine.

I HATE SNOW!!! Great intro, isn't it? I do, especially today, where we are under a winter storm warning till 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. Groovy. I have to be at work at 10:30 a.m., the snow plow just flew by which means I have to bundle up and go out to shovel snow so I can get my car out to go to work. NOT FUN!!

OK, so it is beautiful, but I have to drive in it and I am not happy!!
