this mussellburgh hat https www ravelry com patterns library musselburgh it is green black rust and gold he wears a hat every day because the warehouse works in is cold in the winter he love the four layer ear cover for that reason actually he should retire but he likes working how crazy is that i have need retired since 2016 brian and i are only 11 months apart and have been close forever when i was 19 i went to a psychic she told me that he and i were tied throughout time and have been reincarnated together many times the time before this was during the bore wars of 1899 and 1900 we were related there as well but not necessary brother and sister it might have been parent and child husband and wife or even grandparent and grandchild apparently we were tortured and killed in that war and we were sent to this life together to heal now i don t know how true all this is but i always loved the story and i have to admit that brian and i have had relatively easy lives we grew up on a farm in south dakota with good parents we had two older brothers but it was us who were close my mom said that we even had a language of our own when we were young we never fought and always had each other s back in some ways we even married people who are similar to each other brian went into the service and i moved to colorado as young adults mom was disappointed because she wanted brian to move back to south dakota but instead he moved to colorado to be close to me he even lived with for a year before finding his own place we are both now in our 70 s and we are all that is left of our immediate family with both our parents and our two old brothers gone we still have our spouses and we both had two sons who are about the same ages and are good friends maybe that physic knew

location colorado usa tuesday january 27 2026 relaxing knitting free pattern i have been doing what i call relaxing knitting i m not trying to produce catch up get things done all the things that the holidays make you do i am just knitting i first did a bunch of face towels i could just combine colors or make a face cloth in one color what i love about doing these is that it is a set amount of stitches and i don t have to think count or measure i am using size 4 needles and bernat cotton terry gauge doesn t matter cast on 65 stitches foundation row k 32 place marker k1 place maker k 32 row 1 knit to the marker slip marker sm p1 sm k to end row 2 knit to two stiches before marker k2tog sm k1 sm ssk k to end 2 sts deceased repeat these two rows until there are three sts left remove markers k3tog fasten off and weave in end you can make them bigger or smaller by casting on more or less stitches as long as you have an odd number of stitches you can easily add stripes by just adding another color on row 2 just have fun posted by laurie at 6 52 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cotton yarn face cloth free pattern
