Jenn #2 daughter crocheted the manga doll

in the photo as a Christmas gift.

Don't you just love the hair and the huge eyes?

Jenn learned to crochet at age ten,

crocheted in college, and let her skill lapse

in the intervening years. Seems she

found she still remembers the stitches.

Great job, Jenn!

She is moving on to Star War characters.

Stay tuned.

Freezing in Florida

All my New York friends are so jealous.

We escaped the north country just in time

to avoid the cold. Wrong!

Florida is cold... 32 degrees as I write.

So, I snared this photo

to remind myself that Florida

will warm up soon. Right?

And in the meantime I am knitting

socks and red cashmere headbands and

anticipating a holly jolly Christmas

without snow.
