And Another Load of Wood

   Jeff picked up another load of pallets yesterday and told the guys at the hardware store that that would be it for awhile.  There are always a few pallets left over from each load that don't get cut apart coz the trailer gets full of cut wood before all the pallets get cut up.  Eventually we have a pile of pallets waiting to be cut apart...like now.   Jeff wants to get all the pallets we have cut up and stacked... before they're covered with snow....before he picks up any more.  We've decided we're going to have to put up another woodshed, and probably get a face cord of hard wood, too, after the first of December.  If we get really inspired, we could even clean off the porch and take all the junk to the dump...oh, the politically correct term, to the recycling center...in north Utica and stack some wood inside.  Now, that would be nice.
   I finally finished the four size 6mo raglan-from-the-neck-down cardigans with plain roll brim hats with

top knots coordinated with them (but priced separately) to take to the shop Sunday.  Each sweater has 1 motif in a lower front corner.  There's a duck, baseball, black and white sheep.   I even got the Pretty in

Pink size 1 hoodie finished

Pretty in Pink Hoodie

and the sewed
the back zipper in last
night.  Then about 9 pm last night I started
looking for something to knit when I remembered I had bookmarked a
pattern at Craftsy.com
that I saw on Facebook.

It's a gingerbread man.  My mom had directions for one that we made for years but I can't find it.  This one looks pretty close so I thought I'd try it.  But it's working up 3x as big!  More of a toy than an ornament.  I still have got to get the arms and the head done and stuff it and then I'll decide if I like it.  It's done with worsted on US4's so it's not too difficult. (Calls for 4 dp's but I'm using 2 short circulars.) 
   There are hunters in the woods around us.  Fanny won't go out even with a human escort.  The gun shots even make me a little nervous!  Hope they know what they are doing.   Haven't seen any turkey or deer since hunting season opened.
