My family has gone nuts! I hardly recognize these people! They are doing things that are not characteristic of their normal behaviors. The unexpected. The unexplained. I will have to repaint my mental image of them!
(Of course, they have been a bit crazy all this time, but this is a new trend emerging ….)
Do you remember FA in PA? My knitting Aunt who, aside from the family Christmas stockings never knit anything except dishcloths? Who became quite intractable over these dishcloths? Who would not even venture from her dishcloth pattern??!! I am pleased to report she has successfully completed her very first mitten!! She will be sending along a picture sometime soon! As we have been on the phone recently discussing the merits of mittens in the round v. straight, there has even been some crazy talk about hats!
And if having aunties shoot out from the kitchen drawer isn’t enough for a body to take, there are these from my tugboat-captain-knitting-cousin! Gorgeous socks!! (I never knew he had such skinny ankles — where in the hell did those come from, while I am over here standing on top of tree stumps??!!)
Gram would be so proud!
do you think they will all start blogging next?

Let it be known that FA in PA did more than knit dishcloths. My repertoire includes baby blankets with bunnies, afghans, cardigan sweaters, and even crew neck sweaters with reindeer and snowflakes,etc.,etc., etc! See, your FA has many hidden talents. Now, to get to that second mitten; all the inspiration coming from our one-and-only PURLING SWINE.
Wow, FA set you straight, huh? It makes me laugh — it’s all so.very.cool!
