SP; you're the greatest

Went to my mailbox saturday & there was

this sweet package with some great gifts.

Thanks SP; love the fiber & the color is

vibrant. Can't wait to knit with it. Also, the journal will come in really handy for my next projects.

Me- Happy that it's Summer

purple purse & liliac pearls

Have a few things going on as I am determined to get some jewelry made for the many art & craft festivals of the summer. Also, finished a purse I had started over the Holidays. Still working on my Thinking of You Scarf; challenging pattern but great to learn a new technique. Will post pics when done. SP 10 is almost over & I haven't started The Flower Basket shawl given to me by my wonderful SP.

Catchy Title, Great Projects

Looking for some Teen Knitting projects
to teach my granddaughter some cool things
to make for herself & friends. This book has
something for everyone. We hope to have
more Teen related programs where I work
I am happy that more young people are
taking an interest in an old art.

Memorial Day Weekend

finally getting the hang of the wavy pattern for my
"thinking of you" scarf. loved the stamp from my LYS
for the week end marathon. didn't get to all the places
but, i did manage to learn all the great locations of
future YS's to go to.

love, love, love Seattle

Went to the top of the Space Needle; went around the outside
suddenly I went numb & felt nausea. Still it was a beautiful view even from
the inside.

progress of project

I love the soft feel of the alpalca blend that was gifted to me for this scarf. The wavy pattern is eye cathcing; can't wait to knit the hearts. Onto an exciting week
end for me which translates into Destination: YARN the 2007 LYS tour for my area. I'm excited as there are discounts, prizes and a passport. If interested

what's on my needles now

knit projects galore

This book Domiknitrix has the cutest items and I so love to be able to make
quite a few things from it. Projects on the needles: my previous pal sent some beautiful merino silk in tones of pink along w/this great heart scarf pattern.
I want to finish this & get some help casting on wonderful shawl pattern from
my current pal. The start of this beautiful shawl is a little different than
what I've done before; I love learning new techniques.

done projects; new project

finished gloves for a friend in xxlg and will be starting a new
project that my wonderful secret pal gave me; a shawl in pink; can't wait to start.

a second look at my gifties

love that awesome secret pal!

thank you secret pal!

thanks to my awesome secret pal i have my favorite lace pattern shawl like the one i previously posted from elann it will be done in the beautiful fiber in pink. oh happy day! i also love the other gifts especially the beautiful bag that she has made; it is perfect and i so love the lining as well. best of all the bag is
reversible and will hold all my take along projects nicely.

books, books, books

i have such a passion for fitted designs or anything that has some vintage undertones. luckily for me, my local library has been purchasing some great, trendy books on knitting. that will at least leave me a little more money for fiber!

love the free patterns at elann

of all the free pattern websites i think that elann.com has the best trendy selection by far. i would love to make either one of these two gems.

favorite fiber vs not so favorite fiber

my favorite fiber thus far is the optimum wool. it is soft &
knits up fast. my least favorite fiber any 100% wool fiber.
it unnerves me to no end when i place wool on my skin. it may
be mental but, i am sticking to it.

wrap from berroco free pattern

had more acrylic fiber to use & loved the stitching on this wrap. it sits on top of
the shoulders & falls to mid back area. it's a warm color & has feminine qualities despite it's bulkiness. i love diversity in textures, designs & colors.

chinese symbol pillow

longevity runs in my family so what better symbol than the longevity on a pillow to help me remember the beauty of life. watched "what the bleep do we know" dvd. had me reaffirming my intentions for a long and beautiful life. happy 1st day of spring.

Boats for Cameron

I fell in love with boats for cameron from Debbie Macomber's Shop On Blossom St.
knit book; it was wonderful to finish it for Christmas for my grandson and it is
just his size for traveling. He loves boats and I had inherited alot of acrylic
yarn that I wanted to use up. I also made one for his sister in pink, yellow and
seafoam green.

sp9 great gifties
