Zig Zag Mittens!


My dear friend Deedee has had a pretty crappy year this year too, so I thought she could do with a pair of mittens too! She is my mentor, my friend, my confidante, etc. She is planning on finishing her BSN (she has WAY more strength than I do!) and then she plans on TRAVEL NURSING! I admire travel nurses. I am much more of a "comfort zone" nurse! Her plans include Colorado or California. Either place is a great place to make money. I have traveled this big ol' world, but I can not brag about traveling withIN the USA. When she gets established, I'll have to pick up a few extra shifts and I PROMISE I'll be CHEERFUL about it and actually EARN the money so I can go and VISIT her! She has been to Red Rocks more often than I can MENTION and that is number one on my list of destinations! :) Plus if she goes to Colorado, I can go and visit my Great Uncle Stuart and bake kringlas for him in PERSON rather than just mail them to him in a box! I love my friend Deedee and I love my friend Melissa and I am so thankful for them every day! I miss my Deedee at work though, as do a LOT of us! I like to think of it as Deedee blazing the trails for the rest of us! And I was lucky enough to be knitting on the second of these dizzying things earlier in the week, because when I peeked out of the window, there was a mere dusting of snow on the ground to take this picture!
