I sat and worked on the fourth stripe in my 

Christmas Candy Striped Afghan

I definitely needed the instruction video for this stitch as the written instructions and diagram had me confused.  After the how-to video de-mystified the process, I could see that is just what they said.  My brain just would not comprehend.

I love the look of the star stitch stripe and the lovely pink yarn.

On to stripe five and this pretty Christmas green yarn! 

Today was a bread baking day.

Mmmm ... so good!

It has been a day of ice and sleet and snow here and precipitation is still falling.

Hope you have a safe and warm and happy weekend.
