Free Knitting Pattern – Shoots and Ladders Hat
At Christmas, my mother seemed a little disappointed that she did not receive a hat to go with the scarf I gave her; therefore, I have made her a hat which she’ll receive on her birthday in a couple of weeks.
If you’d like to make this hat, I’ve provided the pattern in a downloadable pdf.
I think I’m more impressed with my ability to hold up the camera and take a picture of myself than I am with the fact that I created a new knitting pattern. How do I do it? 
New Record for Snow in DFW
After my last post, it continued snowing. Altogether, we received over 10-inches of snow. Here are some pictures I took early this morning. The trees in my backyard are hurting from the weight of the icy stuff. I’ve lost one branch. This white gift from heaven is so amazing. I haven’t seen snow like this since I lived in Germany as a kid. It’s amazingly beautiful.
Here’s a street view of the snow.

Record Snowfall in DFW area
About 30 minutes ago on News 8, it was reported that we had an average of 7.3 inches of snow in Dallas-Fort Worth, and it’s still snowing. This snowfall is a record for February, but we’re near reaching an all-time record for snow at any time. I had a snow day today. I expect I’ll have another tomorrow; the roads will be frozen. Temperatures are expected to drop in the 20′s tonight. You do not want to drive on ice in Texas!
Here are some cell phone pictures taken by my son late this afternoon.
