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.

New Project


This my first attempt at a felted bag, of course I didn't pick a small project. This is Vogue Holiday issue 2006. I joined the fair isle felted tote on Blogspot and the Bag-A-Holic yahoo. They both have been quit helpful.

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.

Sorry about not blogging for a while but summer has happen and the days go by so fast. I have been busy knitting and reading everyone elses blogs. I haven't gotten back to quilting yet and I have to finish to duffle bags for my daughter for gifts.
