I love Knitting,reading,quilting and cooking. I have three children and a grandaughter. So I very rarely get to knit or quilt for myself. I'm not complaining.

summers over

Sorry about not up the blog. Summer just seems to run away with time. Health issue are also present . I have started my first glove but pulled it all out because my daughters have the smallest bones. I have just order size zero needles from knitpicks and as soon as I get them I will start over again.

Cats




We have two new kittens. My daughter found them along side the road. I wish people would neuter they animals because not everyone is a sucker like me.


They have chewed thought all the cables on my needles and now I have to wait to buy more. But I love them just the same. I think I have talked my son into taking one. I think 2 dogs and 6 cats is a little to many.

kool-aid socks

I
I have always wanted to try dyeing yarn so these socks are done with http://kntpicks.com dk weight yarn. I used the toe up pattern in Interweave Magazine and each strip is a different flavor of Kool-aid. I had a lot of fun dyeing the yarn and with all the yarn shop over one hour away I think I will be doing this again.

Socks


Although these look like the last pair I made they are the leftovers and palette yarn from http://kntpicks.com/ . It's amazing how close the colors are.
