“J”.
It’s late.
As usual.

Many things in life bring me joy. (Whether or not it’s noticeable is an entirely different topic. )
My little Joy spinning wheel does indeed bring me joy:

Other things that bring me joy?
Finishing a project does, too:

(well, almost finishing…the knitting is done, it still needs a good blocking!)
Sweet little purring furrballs:

Sunday morning, bright and early, seven knitters set forth to see the Harlot.
We also may also have done a wee bit of shopping…

(the Harlot Haul)
We saw friends:

Melody and her SIL Sarah.
We ate:

Herrell’s Ice Cream…yum! (yay!  another H!!)
There were sweet lil’ babies (well, one in particular. But, I am biased on this one):

Fenway Park!
Americas oldest ball park, and the home of my beloved Red Sox.
We usually manage to get to a few games every year,  and sometimes I even luck out and manage to get in on a Sox pack and can see a Yankees game, too.  Always a good time!

Doors!
Back in October, right after I got my new DSLR, I spent a Sunday morning walking around my neighborhood (the first 6 pictures) and then I drove downtown and walked around down there.

I’m a little late for the letter “C”, but I figure a few extras will make up for tardiness…
Central Park (Un)Hoodie, or, The Anti-Hoodie

It has been finished since last Wednesday. I love and adore it, and I would love it even more if I had made it a size smaller.
The incredible growing sweater phenomenon […]

…Beatrice Beth, my grandmother
(yes, I’m named for her)

This is her, at work. She was a winder at Whitall’s Mill in Worcester for many years.
The building she worked in had this sign on it:

Which is a bit misleading, there was no knitting going on, they made the wool and threads used for carpets and then […]

AFGHAN!
To be specific, a mutated combination of two AFGHANs:
The Great American AFGHAN

and
The Great American Aran AFGHAN

The ladies in my Tuesday night class have decided that they would like to do the five “hardest” squares (well, hardest as determined by XRX) as class projects and the rest will be small portable projects for them.  Following that […]
