This is a scarf we teach, a honeycomb cable pattern, and very easy for me. I've been knitting aran sweaters since age 14 and love the style. Jeff will inherit this; his scarf is in storage and he needs one now for our daily walks. 
I've never sewn a 9-Patch Rag Bag before so am sewing one before teaching the class. It's going to be such a cute tote with the colorful ladybugs and Debbie Mumm flannel. 
We fly to Houston on December 22 and yes, I'm already counting the days until I get to hug the babies. Skype is a great way to tide us over until Christmas vacation.
Watching the snow fall. This cute boy kitty comes to get me when he wants to go outside.
The pattern had a long separating zipper; I chose to knit in some buttonholes instead. I also knit raglan sleeves and raglan back, raglan fronts rather than the set in sleeves. I'm surprised there is no interruption in the cable pattern when I picked up stitches for the hood!
The hood is half knit. I've almost definitely decided to end with a three needle bind off rather than some short rows and bind offs as the pattern is written. I always knit my way!!
I'm determined to finish this sweater; I can be wearing it now! After finishing the hood, I need to work around the buttonholes and choose buttons. I'm hoping to find wooden buttons. 
This cute blue spruce held my new gloves as I photographed them this morning.
The cute little blue spruce, and everything else is now white with a wet, flaky snow!
