Grandma's Tatted Cross

I started this cross
two years ago,
but put it down 
when the knitting needles took over.
A couple of days ago
I found myself, shuttle in hand.
Just like riding a bike,
it came back to me.

I made it using
one of my grandmother's
tatted crosses for a pattern.
I've seen many cross patterns online,
but none quite like Grandma's.

"Work" Socks


I made these
"Work" Socks
for my husband.

He's very happy with them
and that makes me happy
but...
let's just say that 
if he mows the lawn in them
or something like that,
I will probably cry.

I don't usually...

I don't usually
have much use for the cold,
but since the little nip in the air
this morning 
gave me a reason
to pull on my new
"mittens"
I won't complain...
as much.
