    Absolutely beautiful, Dee! Now I have finally seen what a Pomp-a-Doodle scarf looks like, and it was well worth the wait - they are gorgeous. I think we have a similar type of yarn here in Australia (alternating bobbles and finer threads0, but never saw it knitted up before. If it looks anything like your scarves, it will definitely be on my 'yarns I must buy' list.
As for your Giants baby blanket, your knitting is so fine and even - you do beautiful work, and anyone would be honoured to be presented with a Dee-knitted gift! If you check out the Sparkling Knitters' team icon in a little while, you will see your Giants blanket being displayed for the world to see! Thank you for allowing us to use it!
((Hugs))

    I haven't seen the pomp a doodle yarn yet. The scarves are very pretty, but I do love the fine even knitting in your blankets. What size needles did you use?

    Love the colors in the scarves...Blankets, not so much. But then I'm a Chiefs fan. emoticon I haven't tried the Pomp-a-Doodle yarn yet. I'd like to, but I have so many things in the works right now, I really can't justify getting yet more yarn, and starting yet another project.

    Dee, your snows remind me of when I lived in Wisconsin for over 11 years. It
was like this late fall through spring. I am glad that I am living there now. We
have had up to 7-8 inches of snow in my area all the month of December.
Today, was beautiful, sunny & warmer.

    You did it again! It has warmed up here and now you made me run get my blanket and socks! BRRRRRR! Just the sight of all that cold stuff freezes me. I still can't see how you ever survive through all that! emoticon
I know Phillip will enjoy looking at these pictures when he gets back from his Dad's.

Stay warm my friend!

    My daughter lives in the DC area and last year she was snowed in - at work - three separate times! She slept in a hallway, an office and finally scored a couch the last time. It was her boyfriend and his jeep that got her to and from work. This year, not so much snow. I am sorry that you are getting inundated. emoticon

they brought food and food they had more than enough for all and the Church also made food and supply juice and cookies tooo ... I had nothing but water ,,

The priest did a great job and I was his server and altar girl too .... had a blast and one little girl dressed in costume was so cute she was my buddy coming and holding my hand she was 2 years old,,

the Pinta was a blast and the kids dove for the candy not a piece left on the floor...

Sorry it took till today to have time to check out your amazing projects, but I needed some time to catch up at home after last week of neglecting all the house stuff. Back on deck again now, and very impressed. Just wish I could find more time to be even a little more productive, but I guess I should be happy to find any time at all, lol.
