HILDA WASN'T HAPPY!

Hello!!!

Well, some of you know that a few months ago I bought a really fun, soot grey, VW GTI which I named “Broom” (even got the New Hampshire license plates! :D)

I named my navigational system “Hilda, the Wicked Witch” because most times she flies me thru the worst possible roads and situations. But with a hard A** and a speeding ticket or two, we get home.

I figured I should knit a “Hilda” to go along with the navigation’s “voice”, keep me company. I knitted her and she rides with me everywhere. We’ve even gone just over the border to Salem, MA! She was hoppin’ with that one!

This week, she was exposed to the elements and wasn’t that happy. My window was cracked during the crappiest weather and the whole driver’s inside area was FROZEN solid from the recent storm. Oh, I was heart sick. Seems Broom and Hilda are OK and will fly another day.

Knit with acrylic yarn, size US 8 circular needles. I also put in fine ground sand in her bottom so she sits better and doesn’t slide all over (when I take those turns on two wheels! OK, I eventually find her somewhere in the car). She sits better with the sand because this one is NOT a reversible and doesn’t have the weight in the bottom, otherwise.

Thank you for looking!!!!

Very Foggy Yesterday!

Hello!!!

Usually it's this foggy along the rivers and swamps, but it was thick as pea soup everywhere! Even along the busy roads like the strip!

Despite all the rain, warm temps and fogginess, we still have a ton of snow on the ground!

Flowers Forever - Free Knitting Patterns!

Hello!!!

Just finished this baby beanie hat, last night while watching a teen flick; daughters are at that age. Watched the Moth Diaries. Good movie. The same actress that played Mary, in The Tudors played the main character in this movie. She did an American accent, well.

It's a basic style hat that can also be done in an adult size. Here's the pattern for a baby.

Basic Hat Pattern:
• CO 56sts on to circular needles, join round.
• K2 P2 for 5 rounds.
• Continue to knit in the round for 4" from the CO round, then begin decreasing.

Decreasing For Crown:
• *K4, K2tog* repeat to round end.
• K 1 round without decreasing
• *K3, K2tog*
• K 1 round
• *K2, K2tog*
• K 1 round
• *K1 K2tog*

• BO, secure invisibly.
TADA!!!!

Absolute Rink!

No getting up that driveway today - just getting the mail was a challenge! With the temperatures dipping way down and staying really cold, I don't think I'll be getting up the driveway tomorrow, either.
