Beauty Bar

Last week end we (girlfriend & daughter)

went to the fabulous NightLight Lounge

where we were indulged in a night of

free manicures, eye lash extensions, up-sweeps,

make-up & give aways. It was so much fun...

Even had a hand parafin dip; talk about hot &

torturous! Yikes... What most women do to

look good; fun, yes-- something that I would

do daily-no, no, no...

Cotton Lace Skirt

This lovely skirt pattern is from

Greetings Knit Cafe. I am using a

cotton blend gifted to me by former

SP from purlnecklace blog. It is from

Debbie Bliss & easy to knit. I'm on the

second lace panel for the bottom. Should be an

easy knit to finish. Can't wait to wear it...

Some Beautiful Summer Things

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!

reversible and will hold all my take along projects nicely.
