The very best pizza. No yuck. Great sauce. Great crust. Great people.





This is the Classic Cheese. No hype. Just warm, melty goodness.

The other morning, there was a substantial amount of fog and hoarfrost. Less my neighbors haul me off to the Loony Bin, I was not discovered taking these photos in the wee morning hours (in 'jammies).

The first time that I heard this word, hoarfrost, was My Husband describing some trees (this when we were first dating) and I accused him of making it up and demanded an explanation of his vulgar-ness (and guffawed until I fell over).









No, but really. Hoarfrost. So beautiful. Mindful of a Bohus designed named "Hoarfrost". I forget what name it has now published, but not that. Similar to the "tobacco" design name. Both stunning sweater designs, but probably not acceptable names today. Goldarnit. I LOVE the "Tobacco" sweater (rich browns). Maybe renamed "Chocolate" or "Turtle" (you know, those yummy pecan, caramel and chocolate candies).

Ravelympics













Bohus-Style Knee Highs are qualified. I hope I am not disqualified with highly advanced needles. It's like using steroidal needles. Sleek design, smooth and SQUARE!

Olympic Knitting

If you look very closely at the snow-ey photo, you can see the sparkl-ey snow that we received on our back deck the other day. It was so lovely.















In preparation for Ravelympics (Olympic participation via Ravelry), I was winding my project yarn balls. There were FIVE, so I thought it would make a nice Olympic "ring".

Ravelympic Event: Bohus-Style Knee Highs (project here)















The knit pattern for "Bohus-Style Knee Highs" by Chrissy Gardiner is in the book "Color Style" (link to Amazon--choose "look here" feature, photo on the "Contents" page).

I took a class from Chrissy this summer on Bohus knitting and put this project in my to-do pile. Pam, from Knitter's Palette, was kind to order the yarn.

I'll be watching the Minnesota Olympic participation here!
