Look!!! Two finished objects this month so far… whohoo… This is a lovely free Ravelry pattern – 198 Yards of Heaven. I used some love Karaoke that was a gift from my two knitting buds — Beverly and Dawn. I have two more balls that might become another one of these…because it’s perfect size to [...]

So I have two more finishes… a long and painful one and a quick knit one. First the this is the Cocoon scarf, knit with Kidsilk Haze which is not one of my favorite yarns. However, the finished project is very lovely as Madison agrees. This is going to Mom. She’s also getting this extra-warm [...] 522 is the number of stitches I casted on last night for Maplewing shawl. I decided that since I just added more lace yarn to the stash it was time to cast a project on. In fact, I’m actually in a casting on mood, which sometimes does not strike me, so I’m taking advantage of [...] When I went to the Estonian Lace Knitting Class with Nancy Bush a few months ago, Nancy talked about the Greta Garbo shawl, which is the first shawl after the cover that you see in the first edition – it was fixed in the next editions.

I seem to just be focused on my projects right now and since everyone knows what Mac ‘n Cheese looks like [...] A beautiful bunch of Stargazer lily’s showed up today from my Valentine. We have to wait a little longer before they bloom as they were fresh cut from the farm. I still have to set the heel up for the sock that will go to my Silly Sock pal. It’s not complicated, but will take [...] So I wasn’t feeling so well last night and decided to watch Persuasion on the new Masterpiece show, which was Masterpiece Theater before it’s makeover. Anyway if you haven’t seen it on PBS – I’m sure it will be on near you. It’s a whole Austin series. I guess it didn’t get the best reviews, [...] I’ve made it through the swarm… now onto the last section. I’m seriously contemplating doing the petite. Since I’m so vertically challenged, I don’t want to get swallowed up in the shawl. You know I want to wear it, I don’t want it to wear me. I’m thinking the petite size will be large enough [...]  |
