Thank you Myrna :-)


Aw, sweet Myrna sent me a package of wonderful gifts, "just because..." She knitted me this lovely scarf, which will surely get a lot of use... hopefully next winter - LOL! And she knitted me a dishcloth... stitched me a gorgeous fob... and sent some pretty marking pins. All in purple - fantastic! Thank you, Myrna!!

I picked up House Samplings again for a little while tonight. I didn't have much time for stitching tonight. But, one house is done, and now the border for a second one is done... just loving it :-)

Thanks for the sweet comments on the the biscornu I posted yesterday. Yes, the colors are fantastic - but all credit goes to Outi of Periphaeria Designs, as I stitched this as she charted it. Her biscornus are gorgeous!

Oh - we appear to maybe, just maybe, have a snow free week here... did I just jinx it? I see I have a purple crocus too! It was not open still when I got home today, but I will surely get a photo if I can. Any sign of spring is needed, for sure!

Stitched on today: House Samplings

Myrna is a peach, isn't she? I have a scarf that color that I started to knit myself and then had my step-mother-in-law finish for me. It was tough to do with that yarn, so Myrna is definitely a talented knitter!

Hi Carol!

I'm so glad you liked everything. You have spoiled me so much this year, I couldn't resist sending you a little giftee! I knitted the scarf the day we had a fundraising Chili lunch in honor of my MIL. Everyone kept asking who is that for? And I would say, 'my friend, Carol'. they would say... I wish my name was Carol! LOL. You have had so much snow this year, I thought you might need a little something to keep you warm!

Hugs,
Myrna :-)
