Rain Rain Go Away

While I understand and appreciate that rain is an important part of the eco-system. So is too much!

I appreciate all the grand things that water brings.... however, there are positives to sunshine too.

Happy Yarny thoughts

P.S.

Remember this:

Well, I tried to get a 3rd skein - nope, sold out and unknown when supplier would have more.

So I changed gears, figured I would make it more of a shrug and add some linen in the same color (yes the match is wonderful) to the end of the sleeves. Still knitting - will post final pic when finished.

Happy Days All

Wanted to check in and say howdy. Will be at the camper the rest of today and Sunday so I will be out of cyberspace and diligently knitting.

See you all Monday

Hello All

Flip floppin around I missed a day again, sorry.

Whats new? Not a whole lot of anything. Off to the knit shop last night. Off to the knit ship tonight. Camper later in the weekend (Sunday, Monday).

Balled "Vintage" main sock yarn yesterday. Still in love with the leaves, but I am interested in casting on for the socks themselves. I think that I am going to do them one at a time instead of 2/once -- I am trying to enjoy this endeavor and not make it just a means to an end.

Lissa's socks are continuing - I am getting tired of working on them so I am making an effort to stick to it and Finnish (about 2 inches left before toes).

BSJ is sitting in the knitting bag.

Shawl is waiting for ball 3 of yarn.

I'm getting itchy to cast on something else.... I'm thinking of trying this sweater. I like the part of "fitting a grown ass woman". Like the green that she knitted it in, but I'm thinking maybe a bright blue (go figure).

Haven't tried a sweater before.... adult sized that is. But maybe this is the one to give it a whirl?

Its almost over

I have worked the last 7 days.

I am tired.

I am sick of this place.

I am looking forward to being off and heading back to the yarn store.

Progress on "Vintage Socks" - they are going really well. I have a little more than 1/2 the leaves done. I went and did the "toe" leaves so I could start the actual socks. I have to Finnish Lissa's first (about 3 more inches of foot) and than I can start "Vintage".

Than I'm thinking about starting a sweater..... hum..... we'll see.

Update Sunday

So I poked around and found more "rainforest" yarn.

There are some things that you know, you just don't want to face..... like knitting 2 skeins of yarn knowing that your probably going to be short.

Whats that called? Delusional :)

Little Dress

I found this really cute hat at Target that had frogs on it and thought a coordinating dress for my GF's daughter would be really cute. So while in NY I found this material. I had than heard of a simple pattern from "dresses for Africa" and within a half-hour I had this:

adorable dress. The pattern is super easy. I purchased a yard of fabric, but use less cause the child is only three. Adjust yardage as necessary for height.

Thank you!

I want to "thank you" all that have been stopping in, leaving messages, and those that haven't. Believe it or not, I am really enjoying this. Kind of like something that you enjoy doing but just don't get to unless pushed.





In knitting news, I've been working on a shawl/
wrap thing. This is really nice wool in "rainforest" that I picked up in NY - anyways, I did 2 skeins (380 yrds) and its too short.


Pattern


So please take a look at what its suppose to be -- mine is about 2/3 the size - I need a 3rd ball of yarn which is vary hard to get. So, Suggestions? I'm thinking that I might just have to rip the whole thing out and use the yarn for something else.



In other knitting news, I am working on October 07 STR shipment. These are destined for my daughter - and after a start and rip session I am working on the foot. The yarn looked more like her hair before when it was skeined, but I am still liking the way they look.

Chat Soon
