Warming Kaitlyn Knitting

Knitting pretty pink squares out of merino and cashmere/merino is becoming addictive. My own daughter decided that she didn't like pink and black was her favorite color when she was six years old, so it's fun to indulge in some girly-ness for a change. Ariane said she had a tremendous response to this project, so I'll probably stop (though somewhat reluctantly)after the striped square>

My "Black Friday" shopping was limited. I did hop out of bed at 5:00 AM to go to Fred Meyer, where I achieved everything I was after. Then I went home and crawled back into bed.
