Being in hibernation mode inspires me to make the most of my sedendary, indoor activities.  This combined with my increased time off has led me to pick up a few creative hobbies I'd been neglecting.  After I finished this simple song lyric painting, I pulled out my knitting materials.  The yarn you see above had been taking up room in my knitting basket since I finished JVC...five years ago.  Yikes.  Fortunately, sitting in front of the TV for several hours Sunday night watching men in tight pants, a powerful lady in a tight outfit, and up-tight folks on Dowton Abbey gave me enough time to finally finish my longest in-progress project.  And now I have a new fancy scarf to keep me warm!  Huzzah for fancy practical projects!

Do you like to knit?  I learned from my mom many years ago but my skill level is nowhere near hers.  If this cold weather has you inspired to learn to knit, I recommend this simple "how-to" from Design Sponge.
