’bout fricken time I posted something ‘eh?

I’ve got dozens of reasons for not having posted this past month and a half…but I’m sure you don’t want to hear about me being sick in March with that horrible cold/sinus infection. And then I’m sure that you don’t want to hear about me having knee surgery last month, and sleeping for a week afterwards…
I have not knitted much since getting that sinus infection.
I lost the knitting mojo.
So now I am almost 3 weeks since the surgery, the first week having slept most of the week away, I am finally finding that it is more comfortable to sit with my leg up, then down from the ottoman for longer periods of time…thank goodness for physical therapy!!
I had purchased a bunch of yarn on my last trip to Knitting Etc. in Ithaca with my Mom, Michele & Dottie…we had such a great time together…so anyways, I bought some Cascade 220 in Mossy Rock (9429) (a lovely dark olive green) and winter white (8505), and am using a hat pattern that I found on Ravelry, (great site for patterns and sharing information and pictures of your finished products) called Flora Hat.
Here’s a picture of the start of my new hat…
When I finish it, I will post a picture of it displayed on my fake head…
Anywho, I am so glad to be back doing something useful since I’ve not been able to really do much with this bum knee of mine other than fix a quick meal, and do a few dishes…

My Mom gave me some wonderful yarn the other day, and as I was sitting here petting it…I love to pet yarn…I was trying to decide what to do with it. Socks? A scarf, a shawl???
I tried working with the yarn to make a pair of socks, but that wasn’t working out for this inexperienced knitter, so I rummaged through my patterns and found a pattern that I bought about a month ago to make a scarf / shawl.
Perfect!!
I started it the other night. The yarn is Crystal Palace Mini Mochi and the pattern is Fiber Trends Versatile Scarves.
I love the feel of this yarn, and am so excited to see the end product…

Along with getting ready for the holidays…which BTW, I am so glad that they are over with, I’ll explain later…
I’ve been making hats, and more hats.
I made this hat for my sister Stacey:
Then I made this hat for Stacey’s Mother-In-Law:
And here is the hat that I finished this morning:
I kept myself busy because I’m so not really terribly fond of the Christmas Holidays. I used to be, but since my husband passed away, and since he was born on Christmas Day, and he would have turned 61 on this birthday…well, I just can’t seem to get into the holiday season anymore…I used to love it, but I miss having him here with me…
