Shoulie's Holiday Party

On the knitting front--Thank you to all of you who wrote me regarding my question about how to knit the sleeves onto my cardigan. Well, I have not been able to figure it out thus far, but I have another good buddy who will guide me through the process in person. Thank you so much, Rob. I will be calling you soon. (I fear that I will show him my cardi and the sleeves and he will pass out because I have knit it all wrong and interpreted the directions inaccurately. . . or that might be me who passes out.) In any case, I appreciate everyone's help with this project. My blogging friends are the best! As soon as I complete the cardigan, you will see a photo of it right here. Stay tuned. 

While attending a conference for five days, I could accomplish little knitting as there were videos to watch and interactions to code. No free hands with which to knit, so I could only finished a couple of face cloths and a pair of fingerless gloves to match my scarf and mittens.

On to holidays--Unlike most years when we are basking in the sun on some Caribbean island, we are spending the holiday at home. This means that we have to decorate . . . Since our children are grown, we have to pamper the only "child" at home. Yes, this would be Shoulie. We put up a tree with tinsel for her. She loves it. She has fought the tinsel, slapped it, grabbed in her mouth and run with it, licked it, and then fell asleep in it. It is so wonderful to make someone so happy. It is the holiday season in the Analyzing Knitter's home.
