Celebration on Chincoteague Island

We gathered in Robert Reed park and enjoyed the lovely breeze off the Chincoteague Bay and knitted the afternoon away.

We were even able to help a new knitter with questions. The day was a sucess!

We woke up to snow falling which was a little distressing but gave me a reason to hunt through my stitch patterns to find something a little “springy.” Found this one… crocus buds…which was exactly what I was looking for. What do you think of it?

The camelias are still beautiful even though a little droopy with the weight of the snow. We are continually wowed with the incredible camelias here on the Island. Many six feet tall or higher just full of bloom.

Or, what has that cat been up to overnight???

Knitting laying out on the couch overnight. Plus one roaming, bored cat. Equals a disaster in the making.  And of course the knitting is one with beading. It’s amazing how she can nonchalantly be walking past the couch, and one paw will shoot out to snag the needle off the cushion. Wooden ones are her favorite. Morning found me on hands and knees searching. Found one needle with the knitting half pulled off. No second needle. With aid of flash light discovered it under the couch, her favorite spot to store goodies. And this is silk yarn. Give me a break Click. They can look so innocent in the morning. “Did I do that?”

Enjoy these photos from our Island.

All the others were expected but certainly not the wild turkeys pecking around in our parking lot.

A pile of Christmas stockings waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to fill them and deliver on Friday.

Have you finished all your projects? Mine include two scarves, a hat, earwarmers, all waiting to be wrapped. Then there is that one Christmas stocking that I’m finishing for the new grandbaby. Heading around the heel so think all is good with time to spare. WHEW! I always leave things to the last minute!

Merry Christmas to all and may all your unfinished projects be as simple as my last one. And Click says, one of these is mine, right? She’s already gotten her present – balls with rattles inside that make wonderful (depending on your point of view) noise bouncing down the stairs.
