No Excuses

I truthfully have no excuses for the lapse in posting. We went the whole eight days of Hanukkah without posting. I promise to post a collage at the least in the next few days. I'm sure there will be a bit more backtracking as well.

With all of the rain that we have had the last few weeks, we had the opportunity to discuss rainbows with the boys. It seemed like every time we went out there was another one in the sky. It was very exciting for them. So think how cool it was to see a rainbow in our own house. We have a very tacky glass outdoor hanging light in the entryway. Well it was creating prisms onto the wall and they were ecstatic at seeing them.



I have been doing a bit of knitting. This first item was finished two weeks ago, but I wasn't able to post a picture of it until today. The recipient is in the air right now on his way to visit everyone in the Fiori clan. This was only the second pair of mittens that I have knit not because I don't like mittens but because we really don't have use for them here. Uncle Dick hails from Iowa though, so he will be keeping his hands quite toasty.



The last little bit of knitted goodness is my almost done first sleeve for the Rogue sweater. I'm almost done adding 12 rows to the sleeve length before I begin the cap shaping. I just like my sweaters longer, in the arms and in the body so I'll be adding a few rows to that part as well. Whenever I get to that part. This sleeve has taken me a lot longer than I imagined that it would, but as long as I finish it before next fall, I'll be happy.
