Thanks! I like Mikey's videos at The Crochet Crowd.

My friend is totally into everything 'Outlander.' She had a group of gals that would come over for Scottish treats and watch the TV show, together.

I'll give the book(s) a try again this winter. For some reason I just couldn't get into it at first - but I'm no quitter!

Outlander .... give it about 100 pages. The first couple of chapters were sort of slow, IMO ... but once Claire lands in Scotland, it gets interesting rather quickly. I confess to being more or less in love with James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Frasier. Sigh.

Claire is into herbs/plants for healing ... the old timey stuff ... you’ll like that.

BTW, started on my first “faux fur” hat. I’m on round three .... I’m also on my 3rd glass of wine. By the time I get through with this hat, my Black Box (Christmas gift) of Pinot Grigio is going to be empty!

Very productive day before yesterday - made two batches (12 jars) of Blackberry Merlot Wine jelly that I needed for a Christmas gift & a Jan 15th birthday gift ... I think they turned out great! I was short on wine (I use $3/bottle Oak Leaf Merlot from Walmart) so I used a little bit of a red wine given to me as a gift to top off the amount of wine I needed. It doesn’t affect the taste, but it makes these batches a little “special” because of the person who gave me the wine & the wine itself ... I looked it up .... $45/bottle. YIKES! :-)
