Latest projects and more....
A nice batch of little batts I made with leftover fibers. These will all be spun to use for crocheting granny squares for a swap with Debra. The last 4 squares I've made are below.

I crocheted one mitten for Cara yesterday...the other will be done today. I'm using Lion Brand's Jiffy yarn...thick and fuzzy and warm! Too bad it's too cold for the kids to go outside today. Many of the schools around here closed for the day due to bitter cold temperatures and a nasty wind chill. The lake effect snow is hitting again and it's looks like we've already received 6 inches in the last 3 hours! And from the looks of the radar, it might be sticking around for a little while.
A knitted scarf in progress with TLC's Macaroon yarn in the colorway Raspberry. I'm using size 13 needles, so this will knit up very quickly. Each skein is 115 yards.

I visited our local dollar store, Real Deals, and found this yarn...yep, $1 a skein!!! The multi yarn is Moda Dea Swirl in a color called Tinker...SOOOO soft! The blue yarn is Moda Dea Tutu in a color called Cabana Blue. These yarns are not cheap when bought at full price...so I was VERY happy to find these. Most of this yarn will become scarves or headbands or wrist warmers or fingerless gloves!
