Just a quick visit today. My mom is finally here, after having to put off her trip due to canceled flights and what-not before Christmas, and I am savoring this time with her. Have I mentioned how much I love my mom?...probably so...anyway... just so you know, things might be a little quiet in this spot while I have her with me...just for the coming week.

But before I go...remember this old girl?...

I did want to let you know that I have added a link to the pdf for Peggotty's Ruffle Mitts to my Ravelry page. I had much difficulty with the server on this pattern {apparently insufficient bandwidth (who knew?) and in the confusion, I accidentally put up an early draft of the pattern, not the final draft of the pattern that I meant to {oops!...note to self, don't play on the computer when you have a fever...how I wish I was as comfortable in front of a keyboard as I am with sticks and string‚ hopefully I'm getting better though, with each try and each little humiliation}. So if you tried to download Peggotty in early December and failed to get it, or even if you managed to get the original (okay, but the new one is more carefully edited), you might want to download the new and improved version. I know a few people have already knitted it on Ravelry, and so far it has gotten positive reviews—yay!
{BTW, I made this pattern for my personal use, so it has not been to the tech editor. In other words, any feedback you might want to share would be appreciated. Just message me via Ravelry or email me...thanks!}

So long for now, my dears! I hope you are enjoying the last little bit of your holiday break! No dieting or strict rule enforcement around here for a few days yet...like I said, savoring every last minute of this precious time!...
