MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to the Wise and Wonderful Betty Gray

 

 

 

This is the "shawlette" I made for my Grandma after they lost hers in the laundry at the nursing home. (It's a wonderful facility, btw.) I did not make any notes because I have no intention of making another, but I held two strands of acrylic (wouldn't want the institutional laundry to boil a nice wool, now) together to make it work up faster... one novelty and one worsted. The second skein of green turned out to exist only in my head, which is why you see it switch to pink...The body of the piece is worked in 2 & 2 rib and bordered on the neck side with moss stitch. I shaped everything with short rows and by increasing/decreasing to add/remove ribs as needed. And the flower? Well, now... that's just what we do when there's a spectacular decrease error right at the shoulder.

Happy Holidays from our Family to yours

 

Many of you know that last year we decided not to send our holiday card via US Mail.  I hope those of you who wish our card to enrich your holiday card display will print ours and add it to your collection.

As you can see, our little man has grown so much this year.  Right now Alexandria is under an uncharacteristically deep snow fall, much to his delight... he's been shoveling snow and "climbing the hill" all morning.  Santa has nothing on him in the "nose like a cherry" department...

I hope 2009 has been good to you all, and I hope that 2010 is filled with Peace, Health, and Hope.

All the best from the Gray/McNamara family:
Meghan, Michael, and Ian

Snow Day... Need I say more?
