Well, off to knitting some more. I am knitting some ear warmesrs, and some hats for charity.

What's On Your Needles?????

I guess I am in a scarve and hat mode. I currently have a scarve on my needles...using my homespun wool and angora bunnie. I made myself a hat with same yarn in broomstick lace, and now doing the scarve in drop stitch.

I also have another pair of socks on the needles...just finished the gussett and working on the foot of the first sock.....it is done with a slip stitch pattern.

so...... what is on your needles this nice start of 2008?????

A Brand New Year!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas....Holiday!!! Here's wishing all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know I am hoping for a Happy New Year. Just too much not so great happenings since last year.......
I was visiting some of the blogs I read...and decided to join Jan's "Play it Forward exchange"....it sounds like a wonderful thing to start off the New Year with. Here is her blog so you can see what fun we will be having...http://caffinna.wordpress.com

This "exchange" is based on the movie "Pay it Forward" where acts of deeds or kindness are done without expecting something in return....just passing it on with the hope that the recipients
will pass their acts of kindness on.
So... I will make a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog...requesting to join this PIF exchange. I will send out my gifts within 6 months of your posting.

I did get most of my knitting gifts done...just a few more...but will not see these recipeints till sometime in January so I do have a little more time....LOL

All really liked their scarves, fingerless mitts, dolls, doll clothes.....etc.......

I finished my bright lime green socks...and I did kitchner one of the toes....my good friend Jo Ellyn, kitchnered one of them..... I had to look at pics online and go pic by pic and did get it done...YAY!!!!!

Still working on my scanner and printer so stay tuned...pics soon I hope.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Lots of Stuff

Here it is getting closer to Christmas and I am busy working on gifts......but I did get one of my families gifts off to them last Friday and they opened them yesterday and loved everything. I sent it early 'cause my son is home from Afghanistan... so they had their Christmas early. The girls loved their rag dolls and extra clothes....when they went to change the dolls clothes they discovered I had wrote in a Heart... I love you Haleigh, Tori, and Lexi.

I am now working on my daughters family box to be shipped to Calif......hopefully before Christmas...usually I am so late with theirs....it just works that way.

I have almost all of my Husbands family done......just a few more scarves and one hat. It is good I am on medical leave ...I am getting lots done.

I have not posted for ahile...I am bummed I can't get pictures o this site right now...but hopefully soon.....I have so much to show:my latest socks, I am working on MS3...on clue 4 now.....but still working......my rag dolls,.... just all kinds of things.

I am getting ready for my spinning guild and knitting guild Christmas party too. Those are aways fun for me.

Well..... just a little post for now.....more later

It's about time!!!

Yeah I know it has been awhile...again..... oh well ...here I am now. Went to my knitting guild meeting today...had a new friend come too...she loved it! She said it felt like home...she just moved here from Fort Worth, Texas area.

I turned in quite a few preemie hats and 3 regular size baby hats. I really enjoy knitting for babies.

I was at our fiber festival last weekend, and bought a 14" triangle loom, among other things. Took it home and learned how to weave on it and made a preemie baby blanket. I think it turned out ok....just need to finish the baby bunting(line it) and then I will turn it in next month.

I have been away from the guild for a long time ...but have been back for the last 3 months and am really glad...I missed everyone. Getting new knitters every month too.

WEll...that is all for now....I really need to figure out how to get more pics on here... Have some from winning ribbons at the fair, this new blanket... ... I hopw I can get my scanner to working again!!!

Later all!!!

The Fair !!!

I have been busy since last year the fair ended...spinning up yarn to enter this year, and some knitting too. I pulled out a bably quilt to finish and will put that in too. I just love to enter things in the fair. This week is dedicated to finishing up on some of the entries. I have 21 in all. Mostly for the handspinning categories.

I am still working on my MS3 stole.....but put it aside this weekend and for this week...till I get all my entries ready to go.
I am still on clue 2 on both of them....yes I am doing 2 . I hope to get them done and post pics. Now I have to get my scanner working again. What I really need is a new computer and all.....but guess I will not be geting one of those.
Well...off to work on those entries~~~~~~~ Later!

WOW!!! It has been along time.

WOw it has been a long time since I posted in here. I have been busy with physical therapy on my knee. That takes a lot of time 2 times a week and I get pretty tired. I just can't beleive it takes so much time and energy out of you.

I have 2 MS3 shawls started...hope to post pics soon. They are my first lace project. One s out of fingering yarn...(the smallest yarn I have knitted with yet) and the othe one is out of a very soft worsted weight ...maybe... yarn. These are doing pretty well. I have had some trouble with the purple smaller yarn one..... I have had to knit and take it out and re nit in sveral places....ha ha......I just can't believe I am having to do this so much....but I will get them done.

Well that is all for now. I have some pics I want to post so will be back in here soon.
