The truth behind the Legend of Walking to School in the Snow

And if you want to keep snow out of your boots as you wade through it, just wear a pair of thick wool socks and fold them down over the top of your little short ankle boots.

And be thankful you have boots on your feet.  We heard a story this weekend about a lady who would go to school every day barefooted through the snow.  There weren't enough pairs of shoes to go around and the kids would share a pair of boots, walking from house to house, where they would trade off.  Lots of kids would go every other day because there was only one pair of boots for kids in a household, but this lady went everyday, because she wanted to learn!  She has 2 grandchildren in school now who are learning lots!

My dear mother has finished the last 3 baby sweaters I started. It's because babies grow so fast!

How to keep track of stitches

I need to cast on 94 stitches, and I always loose count...My mom usually bails me out, but she's nowhere near to help me, so here is my solution.


Paper markers at each 10th stitch. I'm glad that I can count to 10! :)
