Back in the saddle again:)

This pic is cross-posted from my blog. It illustrates the value of SWATCHING!!! Folks, when they say a size TWO needle for the Cables & Os pattern, they don’t mean a size SIX needle, LOL. (oops….)

Since pictures are better in daylight with my phone camera thingie, I’m waiting until morning to post more.
