First Sweater Finished

Family

It’s finished! Finally! This project began on May 2, 2010 when we visited an LYS (local yarn shop) in Odessa with CJ and Phil. We got everything – yarn, pattern, needles – needed for a sweater. Steve was sport enough to agree to wear a sweater if Karen knit it for him. It was a learning process. There was a lot of tinking (that’s “knit”ting backwards) and frogging (that “rip it”) and starting over as well as learning a few new techniques. But it’s done! Finished the last cast off last night. And Steve gamely wore it to the Smoky Mountain Knitting Guild Christmas Party this afternoon. Actually he was grateful for a warm wool sweater since the Old Stone Inn was a chilly place on this cold afternoon.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
