I get I live in the Sonoran Desert. We are use to extreme weather, but not all in one day. This morning was in the mid 70’s so I choose a short sleeve shirt to wear. A few hours later it had cooled to 71 degrees so we went for our walk. By the time we got back from a walk around the block it was 67 degrees. Even in winter the temperature peaks about 3 pm. By dinner time it was in the 40’s. So I wore my fur line house slippers out to dinner. It is supposed to get down to 25 degrees tonight. A fifty degree drop is a bit much even for me.
We my new pattern the NH Shawl is getting big enough to warm my lap. So it is time to knit.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

New Patterns
I have started a new shawl pattern that is going to be called the NH Shawl. I am almost a third of the way through the design. I also have a pattern that needs a little bit more data and typo corrections and it should e out the door this week.
Check back for further information.

Progress?
Today was better.
Arthritis- 1
Sheri - 1
So I will call it a tie.
I am on the last broader round of a baby shower gift 6 months over do. I dis not sleep most of the day. I am still exhausted though I even managed to put a few things away and drop the crochet hook under the couch twice. Progress in a wired Sheri way.

By the Numbers
Today by the numbers goes like this:
I went to Bookman’s Mid town and Bookman’s East side.2
The number of socks my store credit bought. 12
Hand knit hat finished. 1.
Pillows given to Ivan. I not sure weather he liked the Elmo or truck pillow better. I know that they will be loved. 2.
The Bookman’s stops were for my on going Zenning. I guess I will need to figure out what to zen next. Maybe a couple of extra dressers that are no longer needed. Then more books. Maybe even tackling organizing my fiber books or my closet. I am sure all that can result in more trips to Bookman’s.
In the meantime I have:
3 hats to knit. 2 to find and correct errors these will go to Flowing Wells School District Clothing Bank and 1 for a friend.
1 blanket to knit and add a crochet border.
Some animals to sew.
3 purses to finish.
1 random animal to finish.
Can I get this all done before the end of January? I hope so.

Yeah for Zenning
More stuff gone. Today I filled the entire back of my car with socks, hats, books and bibs for a charity run. Then when John came home we filled it again for a Bookman’s run tomorrow. Yeah for Zenning. Less stuff. Did I mention that I also filled and entire box for Bookman’s today while I was putting other things away?
More Socks
Yes, I am still zenning the house. This is yesterday’s sock haul from Bookman’s NW. Five pairs of socks for the Flowing Wells School District Clothing Bank. I am really grateful that I can turn my house decluttering into something very useful. I really like the Yoda socks.
