Mom got quite a bit of knitting done - finished a hat and about half of a second one and knit a bit on her scarf. We discovered that Ott lights really did help her to see her knitting better (macular degeneration is catching up with her) and to our delight, Michaels had them on sale 40% off. We bought her several, including a rechargeable, battery operated one so that she can have one anywhere she wants to go and anywhere she wants to sit at home. We even bought her one she can hang around her neck. The replacement bulbs were also 40% off, so we grabbed a couple of those as well.
Dena and I knit very little and tatted even less. We did manage to get out the Twined Knitting books and play a bit with that. We each made one wrister - just one because that's all we had time for. We discovered after they were made that they make the PERFECT coffee cozies for our starbucks (I drink tea). I gave mine to Mom so she would have a nice new one since she gave me two cozies when I visited her in Idaho. I hope she enjoys them. Dena's twined wrister/cozie is on the left in the picture with two and in the second, clearer photo. The one I knit and gave Mom is on the right in the double photo and in the first, blurrier phot. I'm going to make another one to keep for myself because it's a fun technique and I have a bunch of yarn left!

That's a tough choice! I think I'd have to make three just to keep my wrists and my coffee happy!
