Exciting Announcements from the Warmest Part of the House

Drum roll please...

I'VE STARTED WORKING FROM HOME!

Full time. As in every day. As in, I have two hours of my life back every day and an extra $50 is my pocket every week (that's the length of my (former) commute and about how much I was spending on gas). I don't tend to use caps very often because to me it's like you're shouting at people when you do it, which is generally not very polite, but is also totally appropriate in this scenario (apparently I also use lots of commas when I'm excited). Bear with me here, I'm going to do it again...

IT MEANS I GET TO DO THIS DURING MY LUNCH BREAK!!!!

That's me sitting by our little gas heater in the warmest spot of the house, knitting. I'm working on a special project for a very special aunt (love you Aunt Sue!) in the requested Green Bay Packer colors. I haven't made a scarf in awhile and am please with how quickly this one is flying off the needles. Sometimes a girl forgets how satisfying a simple 1x1 rib can be. 

In other news, I'm not the only one who likes to sit in the warmest spot of the house. Sweaters like to hang out here, too, while they're being blocked. 

This ones name is Boreal and she's also for a very special person: my Mom! She's a bit overdue since she was meant to be a Christmas present; but, from what I hear, the weather in Wisconsin is cooperating with my less-than-punctual knitting habits and it'll still be cold enough for Mom to wear her for awhile this season. Thank you very much Wisconsin.
