Shell Stitch Infinity Scarf I made ages ago - spruced up with a brooch from Grandma Edith. I'm going to make wearing a brooch on your scarf into a 'thing.' ;)

Iron Dog Snow Machine Race is going on this week - the racers are traveling through a lot of small towns that are checkpoints/re-fueling stations. The locals love the racers & the excitement it brings to their towns in the heart of winter. They are generous with their good wishes and actual help if a racer needs something or a place to stay.

This message & pictures were posted on the Iron Dog Group page yesterday:

I will give to any of the racers arriving. I had these for many year's but dont use them as much as i should. Perhaps one will use during next year's races eh? Please let me know when they will be arriving in Kotzebue. Thanks! Safe riding men

Fingerless mittens ... Alaska style (they look pretty good to me!)

This is a cute idea - I love fleece blankets because they are so soft & have such cute designs. I love doing crochet baby blankets, but they are labor intensive & time consuming. Sometimes I hear about someone that I'd like to give a blanket, but do not know them well enough/have the time to spend the hours necessary for a 'full crochet' heirloom sort of blanket. This gives me a way to add that extra handmade touch to a very attractive, still thoughtful, serviceable blanket gift.
