What are you working on now, Barb?

Everyone has been asking this lately, so here ya' go.

The Feather and Fan baby afghan. What a pleasure this is to knit! I am about 1/3 done, despite the urgings of Kathy, who is buying it from me. The baby isn't due until July, Kathy!!!

Stamp out UFO's

Autumn's kitten is finally done. It was going to be a bunny for Easter, but I ran out of time. I used the Alan Dart pattern from the February issue of Simply Knitting.

This is a Lucy Bag that I made for Mom, in exchange for a skein of Jitterbug that she bought me. I added a himalayan pattern that I found somewhere on line. I have felted it, but it went wonky on the bottom, so I will work on it some more today.

The socks are done with the yarn that Suemoon sent me for my birthday. The pattern is the

I can't bear it

When I let the dogs out this morning, this is what I saw... This is a cast iron pole, broken off at ground level

Here is where the bear broke the fence to get into the yard

This is the pole on the side of the house. It's also cast iron, and is about 10 feet tall. He bent it right over.My poor feeders, lying so sadly on the ground. And look what he did to my favorite feeder.

So....I guess I will be taking down all of my feeders, until they catch the thing, and take him to the woods where he belongs.
Anybody good at fixing fences??

Every evening, around 9:00 P.M., deer have been coming down to feed. They cross the yard just outside my fence. I have been trying to get pics, but it has always been too dark. Tonight, around 7:00, I was giving the parrots water, and I walked past the dining room windows, and there they were. So...in my nightgown and bare feet, I went out in the snow to take pics.

Plant your peas and potatoes on St. Patrick's Day

I don't think so.

A Package from Scotland!

A package arrived, but look what it said:

But when I saw Fee on knitty chat, she said we should open the ones in the tartan paper this weekend, when Autumn was visiting. So when she came to stay with grandma, we opened the package.

Look what was inside!

Two Kit Kats, Autumn's favorite "cookie" and a Nessie shirt!

Well, she had to phone Fee right away to say thank you.

"Thank you Fee!! Luv Ya!
