Yoga instead of running, warm foods (no salads or raw foods ), quiet activities. Everything around us is quieter: birds, plants, and animals are laying low waiting for spring. I am trying to do the same and I hope that winter is a reflective, quiet time for you too.Jill Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04790789369913695730noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696685.post-7098940521193058502011-01-01T07:31:00.000-08:002011-01-01T10:45:24.113-08:00Wee Tiny Socks!Told you all way back that I would post some Wee Tiny Socks .

First up is my Fishbone Gansey socks. Pattern by Anne Hansen, yarn is The Plucky Knitter. I love this, but the yarn had too much nylon it, and I hope that once I wear them and wash them a few times they will soften up.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCg7oOKy4234kHL0Oca8DK_D4mDdEDiA_Qkv5sIAAA37zWehVInHU4gyiXwzRvM6V-IaOn4KxDUpDpvWCZrjEqj9z_oprRPQxk6ZLQQaWc5XKYfa8FsyWMzjwKbArPkTLjLMpRYA/s1600/IMG_4844.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCg7oOKy4234kHL0Oca8DK_D4mDdEDiA_Qkv5sIAAA37zWehVInHU4gyiXwzRvM6V-IaOn4KxDUpDpvWCZrjEqj9z_oprRPQxk6ZLQQaWc5XKYfa8FsyWMzjwKbArPkTLjLMpRYA/s320/IMG_4844.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539793727404783730" border="0" /></a>Dublin Bay socks and the yarn is Skein Queen in Summer Bunting.

Here are some club updates: First is the December Rubber Ducky club. The soy candles and soaps smell like Christmas trees!

These are in high demand, and there were so many people on her site that we broke it! I was lucky to snag one -- Peanuts. Jen really knows how to put a kit together! The yarn is "Yarn Love" in colorway "Warmth". Look at the darling necklace of the Peanuts gang and Snoopy stitch marker!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifb_cD3STPkyd-OO1jb2Vqy5zZhEu0-SeSYo2gS7y2_v2sK-2eA3VGuB4d5jvCn_2wZ4Yebq2axSXCqx86zwgN0I9WTn1MgiTcaELhBDKKIr2P1i-BkCTcMUhuijx3HeghocVUYA/s1600-h/IMG_4049.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifb_cD3STPkyd-OO1jb2Vqy5zZhEu0-SeSYo2gS7y2_v2sK-2eA3VGuB4d5jvCn_2wZ4Yebq2axSXCqx86zwgN0I9WTn1MgiTcaELhBDKKIr2P1i-BkCTcMUhuijx3HeghocVUYA/s320/IMG_4049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417324308612052306" border="0" /></a>I also got one of those triangle bags, adorable stickers, button, hot cocoa, and some Christmas cards!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUdtciHASUenx0BXC4Eb_43WCWaZ2R-_S_x_aHQxAsQFa32T8vIYs-ikyLksdvcCQnofuhopOn4Ji8wSuCbX8LPI34sM01uf0mEaoWNi2cag3vUEVNqyHmsJhsb8fSAKa1rmaW0Q/s1600-h/IMG_4048.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUdtciHASUenx0BXC4Eb_43WCWaZ2R-_S_x_aHQxAsQFa32T8vIYs-ikyLksdvcCQnofuhopOn4Ji8wSuCbX8LPI34sM01uf0mEaoWNi2cag3vUEVNqyHmsJhsb8fSAKa1rmaW0Q/s320/IMG_4048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417324305778233282" border="0" /></a>I had to post this ornament my friend Sohni gave me that she found at Goodwill -- very retro!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4btUj7q_nWQVpFn88otJy86CmD3A_g3YQcrzYFzAdfnkNVMS5qTqr-SctpDGsbqcZJit5oSw5D4Uk_90E406-djJw32QmLJ_IKzUCpfPM4XJADeltguHJPsX0o4GgS63s2-BhEw/s1600-h/IMG_4045.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4btUj7q_nWQVpFn88otJy86CmD3A_g3YQcrzYFzAdfnkNVMS5qTqr-SctpDGsbqcZJit5oSw5D4Uk_90E406-djJw32QmLJ_IKzUCpfPM4XJADeltguHJPsX0o4GgS63s2-BhEw/s320/IMG_4045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417324293123254914" border="0" /></a>I have been working on some Vesper Holly and Ivy socks, a secret gift for my sister, and another for my nephew that is coming in February.<br /><br />I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Jill Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04790789369913695730noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696685.post-26397399211417866252009-10-31T10:39:00.000-07:002009-11-01T08:00:05.222-08:0022 Years Ago Today<div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">We haven't change a bit - ha!<br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"> I loved my dress -- it was my Mom's</span><br /><br /></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVjCzDPnRZvrAs94ptDNLLF1L8_vgKkGh4GiluQmiGesDreRUUeIy8JhPPbyLtXP6uSdWRW2tnnK6_MpFcW-UM_7r8TwJFS-u2_LQzZvMknfj9IHBgRJ3C3YZgUvn1k_H2sfDKfA/s320/wedding.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398820307852777730" border="0" />Jill Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04790789369913695730noreply@blogger.com4
