Mrs. O felts to impress

Everyone who reads this blog (yes, both of you) knows that Mrs. O is especially good at two things: knitting for her niece and nephew, and providing me with blog fodder. I actually have several knitting projects to blog right now, but that would require taking pictures, downloading them to my computer, and uploading them to Flickr before I blog. Mrs. O just sends me the pic and it's all too easy. Thanks Mrs. O!

This time Mrs. O made a special request for her neice, Miss T. Mrs. O had made herself a felted tote, and Miss T loved it so much, she requested her own in her signature color, orange. Not one to falter in auntly knitting, Mrs. O stepped up to the challenge. It was not only done in time for Miss T's birthday (!), it also met with such approval that Miss T posed for a picture, as she is not normally wont to do.

And for the record, there's a lot of other great things about Mrs. O. She's very organized and helps keep us all on top of special occasions. She's funny ("You may be a doctor, but I watch TV."). She catches big fishes for me to eat. She's going to be my first visitor in Oregon. The list goes on and on. Thanks again, Mrs. O!
