The last time we met at Leslie’s house, we were in the middle of a blizzard that dumped two feet of snow on Kalispell. This time, the snow was falling again, but fortunately, we only received an inch or two. It was pretty, though.

Inside, we were cozy. Marylane finished knitting the Christmas STOCKING — not hat — that she will felt and give to her daughter. Pre-felting, this was a pretty hefty stocking. So hefty, in fact, that Marylane could’ve been a Christmas morning surprise. After felting, it’ll be smaller (I hope) but still large enough for a lot of treats – and maybe a small dog.
That’s one ginormous stocking.
Michele had sent her completed jumper to show us. She is planning to offer it to A) Her daughter, Erica or B) Deb. One way or the other, she is giving it away. Boohoo! I’m glad she let us see the completed project, though. Wonderful, Michele!
Love the cables!

Speaking of Deb, she joined us and is still knitting Glen’s top-down sweater. Because of their move, she told us that she hadn’t knit a stitch since last week. That’s okay, Deb. Neither did some of us.
She’s so adorable.
I’m still working on the same old poncho – seems like forever – but I wore a scarf that I made a couple of years ago, so Leslie took a photo of it to put in the blog. I love this pattern and am thinking about making another one in lighter shades.
Very artsy, Leslie.
Leslie is knitting the other slipper in a pair that I showed you last week. The pattern is from an Interweave Knits Accessories magazine. Love that Interweave Knits.
Holiday Gifts by Interweave Knits.
Linda started all over on a scarf that uses metallic yarn. She got the repeat wrong somehow on the first go-round, so she ripped it out. This time, it seems to be right.
Love this sparkly yarn.
Next week, the forecast is for 60 degrees! Will we be wearing our shorts! Maybe not, but we’ll feel like doing it. In the meantime, Castoffs, keep those needles blazing and I’ll see you at Marylane’s house.
