What is this? My Maui bunny knitting away with
some great yarn sent to me by Bronwyn (my SP)
on some KnitLites. I just had to have a pair for
when I travel & BF wants to drive safely. I can knit
safely too!

I received so many good things from my SP and I thought
she could not do more. I came home and there was one more sweet package from
her and inside was some Loopy Ewe yarn in a delicious sunrise color, some great
stitch markers from Hide and Sheep with dark purple beads, HeartStrings Pendant
Shawl pattern, some point protectors, 2 dark chocolate bars; one in a fruity
flavor and the other in an espresso color and a Florida Tropic dark chocolate
ball. I loved everything!! Unforunately, my camera is on the blink and only a
few pics of my gifties turned out. I will post more pics soon. Thanks again, Bronwyn!!

Looking forward to the Holidays

Love these days; Birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Thanks,again to my wonderful
SP who has been both very generous and gracious during SP 11.

Would love to give kudos to the Blogger who had this button
on their blog. It is cute! Finished the hot pink bell shrug and
have moved on to crocheting a hat and MP3 Player holder with
matching hat for my eldest granddaughter. Last night started
and am embellishing tonite a hot pink w/varegiated colors
granny square scarf for another grandchild. Must make a hat to
match. She lives in Texas hence the cotton scarf and hat set.
I love making items for the kids each year I try something new.

Lovely Snowflakes

The great thing about Winter are the snowflakes! Every year I try
to find new info on water and how our thoughts can generate a pattern
even onto a snowflake. Maybe you have heard of The Shape of Love. Pretty
exciting news that has scientifically produced evidence of how powerful
out little minds can be.

Peaceful Winter

So many projects I want to complete before the Holidays
come around. Whewww, this year has gone by fast.
My little knit group has been excited about making
gifts and storing them in a box as a way to be ahead for the
Season's gift giving joy. The girls are so much fun; they
are 4th-6th graders and love to get together at our Library
to knit and talk and munch. It has been great to watch their
enthusiasm over a new pattern or technique. I love how they
make me laugh.

Family tradition

ballet

We had such fun watching Bella dance on her
first day of ballet. Her cousin, Taylor had taken
dance from the same teacher. They grow so
fast and watching them get passionate about
life is a great reminder to stay in love with life.

On the Needles

Decided to make another great pattern I had seen on BeatKnit's blog a
few years ago. I have made another previously out of brown bamboo
that I had received from a SP a while back. I love how comfortable
it feels; extra warmth with not the extra bulk. I love layers but, not
soooo many that you look 10 lbs. heavier.

My SP Rocks!

After running some errands this morning I came home & found a box had arrived
from my SP. INside I found the latest copy of Interweave Knits zine, 4 rose sachets that smell divine, some dark chocolate treats, a felted bag, 2 hand made wash
cloths; the pattern I recognized from Mason Dixon Knitting, 2 skeins of some
lovely wool from South America and my most fav book Domiknitrix. I loved the
care and time she took to know what I love. Thanks SP you are AWEsome!

Why KnittingSutra

It seems to be an old cliche to misunderstand certain words that we
use or misuse in our culture that may come from some profoundness in
another part of the world. People often are misled to think that my
blog name is inappropriate yet and often people do not know the meaning
of "Sutra." So, from Sanskrit "siv" to sew: sutra means "That which runs
through and hold things together." Having nothing at all to do with
the Kama Sutra which is the coming together and holding of ...
I feel that my whole life is a basis of those things which hold me
together; hence, KnittingSutra suits me perfect.

Annie does it Again

There are things to knit & then there are things to cherish. Just love this book.
Even though it may take a while to finish some of my started projects I will definitely make something from this book.

Shrug

This shrug took one skein of chunky
yarn. It is warm & cuddly. I will wear it
often this Winter. I really like the off
color.

Slloowwllly knitting lace panel for a great
skirt from Greeting from Knit Cafe. It is being
knitted in a cotton blend from Debbie Bliss given
to me by a former SP... Love the feel of it & I'm
hoping that it won't be too heavy!

Great summer time acitivities. Still working on my
skirt from Greetings from Knit Cafe. Also, started &
finished a quick knit shrug from DVD Knit in Motion.
Will post pics of progress on skirt & post pic of
completed shrug. It has been such a wonderful
summer that I am almost sad that too soon Fall
will be here. Meanwhile, I am busy getting things
together for programs at work and just loving life
as a whole.
