Projects For Christmas & Blizzard

I finish knitting this great sweater for my grandson this week. I'm working on sweater two for the other grandson. I used Hearts Symphony for both. The pattern can be found at: http://www.coatsandclark.com You may have to do a search under baby/child for pattern lw1329.

For the second sweater I'm actually knitting the front and back at the same time and will do the same with the sleeves, when I get to them. This one is child's size 6. I'm a little concerned about the size of the neck opening being big enough, but I think it will be OK. The second one is a size 4, shouldn't take to long. Especially now that I have the pattern down and don't have to think about it quite so much.

Today I should be working on some things for my granddaughters. Making doll clothes for one and puppets for the other plus the grandsons. Want to make some more tote/book bags too. Among other things. Only 9 days left. Have to get busy! ;)

We're under blizzard conditions here along the shores of Lake Huron. A great day to stay home and indoors! Ron's been going out periodically to sweep off the top of our greenhouse. He's worried about snow loads. He even went out in the middle of the night! Now the wind seems to be blowing most of it off. We're supposed to get 12"-16" with lots of drifting. But, since this is Michigan, tomorrow and the day after are supposed to be sunny.
