Judy made a sweet comment about the photo I posted of myself in the coffee shop yesterday.
She said “You also look so cute with your red glasses and red sweater. Like a little Christmas elf.”
I had to laugh and play with the photo and the ChatGPT app Chris and Keith were fooling around with a couple weeks ago.
I think it’s pretty funny 😄
Other than playing around … I watched the Vikings win and pulled out another project that’s been sitting around for a few months. I thought I was further along on this crochet blanket but I’d only done a couple rows of the shells. Not sure if I’ll get it done before the end of the year … we’ll have to see how many Lightning and Viking games there will be between now and then!
This is the first time I’ve used this yarn. It’s listed as worsted weight but seems a little heavier to me. It is very soft so the blanket will be cozy.


Elf or not, you rock that outfit!
That’s a beautiful yarn colour – I hope that your teams support your efforts to get the blanket done!
OMG Mary! That’s adorable 🎄
Lol. You have given me a good chuckle for today. You have such a positive attitude and sense of fun even through some tough times. I’m not surprised by all the knitting projects, as yarn is soft and comforting. I, myself, am working on a knit scarf. It feels peaceful in a time of stress in my life.
Blessings on your days looking forward.
Merry Christmas 🎁
Very cute elf look! What a pretty color yarn, and that shell design is always a good one.
Love the elf look. Great job with the photo software; the smile makes it perfect.
Very cute Elf. Enjoy the holidays.
Santa would love to have you with him as he does his deliveries Mary. You make a fantastic elf. Merry Christmas.
Love the pic! Cuteness indeed.
You nailed the elf look, Mary! Oh what fun! I’m just glad to see that you still have your good sense of humor and the energy to play around with this idea as well as your beautiful blanket! I hope you are able to continue enjoying this Christmas season.
I love the elf photo! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Love the elf look. I love working with Pound of Love. Does work into a cozy blanket.
so funny! Elisabeth
Just adorable!!!
I like Pound of Love yarn a lot, I just feel like it goes slower because the skeins are so big!
You really are the perfect Christmas elf! And I love seeing all of your knitting projects.
Merry Christmas Mary to you and yours. Thank you for your blog. Best of wishes in the New Year.
Adorable!
The ears are a nice touch!
It is a battle to take every thought captive… but you are winning! Thank you for sharing the harder days as well as the easy days with us.
You are so cute in this outfit. Adorable. Hope you are feeling good.
