Snow break

We've been in Sister's Oregon for the last few days, visiting Eric's dad and his wife. Besides seeing the grandparents, I love coming here because they live a whole 2 miles away from the stitchin' post. As soon as we got here I made my usual excuses and ditched the fam to go get some yarn. I am almost a year over due on my sister's birthday present, and so I started on these:

They were such a quick and easy knit (from Altered Knits by the way) that I had to make another pair:

It hasn't all been knitting and, well, more knitting. Tabitha made good on the cough she had last week, which we thought was improving, and developed a full blown duel ear infection mid air on the trip down. I spent our first morning here knitting in an urgent care waiting room. But at least this was the view on the drive there:

She's already feeling better.
