I need to make some booties to cover this little guy’s feet. This is my newest grandson. I snagged this picture from my daughter’s Facebook page.
I’m thinking of the Converse sneaker pattern. How cute is that?

New Orleans – Can we come back?
I attended a conference in New Orleans the week before the Super Bowl.
We had a great time though I was stuck inside most of the time.
I’ve learned in the past that I can’t concentrate on knitting on an airplane. I managed to knit an Olive Oil Drip Catcher at the airport but that’s all the knitting I did.
And I don’t even have a photo of it!
Our hotel was on the corner of Canal and Bourbon streets.
We were a block away from the 49er’s hotel.
We saw the Mighty Mississippi.
Walked down Bourbon Street. Some buildings were all decked out in Mardi Gras colors.
Visited the French Market in the French Quarter.
Saw lots of the Super Bowl hype but no players.
Mr. Aitch sampled local beers.
Beads? Yes, we got beads. I won’t tell you how we got them. I wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone. =)
We ate jambalaya, crawdads, Po Boys, shrimp roumalade, hush puppies…
…and of course beignets at Cafe Du Monde.
Tank McNamara says it all:
Beignets. It’s worth the trip.

Inconvenienced
First of all I will be posting about our recent trip to New Orleans once I get some pictures off my phone.
Today I’d like to thank the person or persons who stole my credit card number and tried to make a few purchases. Fortunately the credit card issuer thought the purchases were fraudulent and thus denied the transactions from taking place. My credit card has now been cancelled and I will be issued a new card.
In 5-7 business days.
So I guess all my purchases will be with cash for the next several days.
This could be a good thing as I don’t usually carry much cash with me. I can’t spend what I don’t have.
On the other hand I use my credit card to fill my gas tank. And I never have THAT much cash with me.

In between
Now that the Christmas rush is over and the gifts are finished, I find myself between projects.
I finally made a pair of fingerless mitts for me using Shirl’s Mittlets pattern and Cascade 220 Paints in Cherry Berry.
The colors match my winter coat and felted purse.
The only thing left in my UFO (unfinished objects) pile is a scarf that I’ve been working on for over a year.
I’m really not in a big hurry to finish it at all.
I have the yarn to make another one of these hats.
I love this hat and it is the warmest hat I’ve ever had. It even keeps my ears warm and that’s a big plus for me. And even though the colors are perfect, the hat does not “go” with my everyday winter coat. The colors do coordinate with my “dress” coat. The yarn I have is red and grey. Do you detect a theme here???
There are some sewing projects I would like to tackle, some organizing and reorganizing projects, some decorating projects, some painting projects, and some knitting projects.
Our daughter is expecting next month so the twins will be getting a baby brother. I’ve helped our daughter get the nursery ready over several weekends in November. But I don’t have any baby knitting done. That might be the next project.
