6-You sat on a hot radiator to warm up

1- You saw someone wearing something you knit for them.
Last week – my son wore a scarf I knit for him about 5 years ago.

About 14 months ago when I was trying to finish some Christmas gifts (fingerless gloves)

Christmas Day – delicious!!

Decades ago when we had radiators in a house we were renting. I love to sit on them.

1. Last weekend. Son-in-law's mom was wearing her Christmas mitts.
2. Never. I go to bed an hour early and read until I'm sleepy while Bill sleeps soundly beside me with the lights on.
3. I had cake on Dec. 15th when we celebrated birthdays of our three boys born in the same month--SIL and 3rd and 4th son.
4. I want to knit sweaters everyday! I have to force myself to put my latest sweater aside and knit something else for a while.
6. Never but I am in love with the heated seats in the car so I can imagine how the radiator feels.
7. Last month when a family member passed away. One of my New Year's commitments is to write more letters this year.
8. I haven't stubbed my toe since we got our new bed. The legs just don't reach out and grab me like the old one.
9. I stood on the scales this morning and I had lost a pound. Woohoo!!!
10. I talk to myself and to the dogs all the time. I don't want to ignore Max when he talks to me!

Hmmmm.....this is a hard one!
1. I can't remember. All my knitted gifts seem to disappear. Does the dog count?
2. The night I tried to make headway on son's cardi so I would have it at Christmas but I soon realized it was futile. It is slow going.
3. I had fruitcake yesterday. I feed it some brandy and had a chunk. It was good.
4. I always want to knit a sweater but I am terrible at it. I have yet made one that really fit.
5? 6. Not since I retired. I sat on the ones in my class all the time. I loved having a hot tushy in that cold room.
7. I wrote a New Year's letter to a penpal in Latvia. We have been writing back and forth for over 20 years.
8. No toe but I jammed my thumb today turning the knob on the car radio.
9.I never weigh myself. I don't want to know. If my clothes fit, I'm okay.
10. I talk to myself all the time. It's the only way I remember anything.

1- You saw someone wearing something you knit for them.
Saw me today wearing my red shawl and hat.. but they were crocheted. :-)

2- You stayed up late just to knit
I don't crochet or knit late.. I do it when there is good light and I'm not tired out.

3- You had cake.
Fruitcake for the holidays.

4-You wanted to knit a sweater
I don't think I've ever thought of doing such a complex knit project. But I did knit a fair isle poncho out of alpaca in creams, browns and blacks that I spun myself.

6-You sat on a hot radiator to warm up
I've never hung out where radiators were used.

7-You wrote a letter?
I hand wrote my xmas cards and thank you notes using a fountain pen and pretty ink.

8-You stubbed your toe
2 months ago on my spinning wheel leg.

9- You got on the scale
A few weeks ago. Ouch.

10- You got caught talking to yourself
I don't do that much as there is always someone here to talk to.

Since it is Tuesday I am way behind, I talk to myself all the time, I can't recall anyone wearing something I have made, maybe my gifts aren't so hot! I haven't stubbed my toe in a while, I hope I did not jinx myself.
Hugs,
Meredith
