What Rhymes with "Sick as a Dog"?

...Too sick to blog. That was me for the last week and then some, and I'm sorry Dorothy!

Dorothy is my newly-revealed secret pal, and she sent me this fabulous package of goodies. There were lots of tasty treats in there (yum!) as well as some beautiful and very welcome Cascade 220 (felted mittens, perhaps?), a little bottle of Eucalon (been meaning to try that!) and a refrigerator memo pad which immediately became grocery lists.

And best of all, the Twisted Sisters Sweater Book! I've been wanting to get my hands on that since I first heard it was in the works. A sweater book especially for handspun yarn! What could be better? Thank you so much, Dorothy!

And in other delayed-by-illness news, here is The
Little Red Haired Girl who knit her little brother this scarf for Christmas! I'm way beyond happy about this; our little 8 year old god-daughter has totally learned to knit! From me! Its very satisfying.

And another picture for you, our other red-head, Ben, the cat, posing under our Not-a-Tree, a large wreath with lights and ornaments which was our solution to limited time and energy but a longing for holiday decor.

What a handsome devil.

Well, I know from reading blogs that I'm not the only one with a horrible cold out there, but I hope you all had happy holidays anyway, and are recovering in good time!
