Scarfing It

 Here are a few shots of my new style.  The stitches are on the top and back of my head, so I have to bobby pin the scarves to stay in place.  I did get a couple wide stretch headbands, but they don't work because of the location of the spot I need to cover.  They just pop right off.  If you look close and aren't squeamish, you can see the end of the stitch row on the lower right pic.  Anyways, thanks Grandma O. for all the scarves.  Who knew?

With cold weather comes increased knitting time at night and here are some hats that I've knit.  I saw one on Etsy and had to try a few.  I'm still making and giving away chunky cowls, because they're something you don't have to think about.

I didn't have any babies to try them on, but I think they're pretty cute! 
So.......a few food pictures before I go.  Here is a pic of the last of the Christmas leftovers, taken weeks ago I assure you!

The corn and sweet potatoes are just that, but the baby pearl onions which are very tedious to peel, are requested and usually devoured immediately, so I was surprised to find leftovers.  Probably because we were missing Nels this year. 

This last picture is of vegetarian chili and wild rice soup.  I usually make soup/chili every week, but the week after Christmas I made both.  Betsy and Leah were here, so we had lots of help eating it.  The wild rice soup is a favorite of everyone.  It's made with Minnesota staples; wild rice, cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup.  Both'em. 
Stitches out on Monday.  Decision on how and what to do to get rid of the "babies".  I'll let you know.
