I have found you!!

I have found you my lovely. I am so sorry I went away for so long.  The bain of lost passwords and forgotten emails.  Now that winter is coming I hope to be updating you since I have started knitting again.  Currently I am working on a hat but more reading and knitting to come.
I feel renewed at returning to this site.  Yay!! So happy.

Wow! I need to get back to this.

Hopefully in 2015 (yikes) I will get back to this blog.  I have downloaded several free ebooks about knitting on my kindle.  We shall see how it goes.

A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

 

Christmas Gift

This bowl was given to me by my sister-in-law.  She is so great and I can't believe she got something so wonderful. I love the color, the shape and the size.

I am trying to locate my camera to take a picture of it. I will update as soon as possible.

A new convert

well, I am so excited. My niece wanted me to teach her how to knit!!! I have just showed her the basic knit stitch and am having her work on a scarf. 

So excited!

I must say I feel so good to have that blasted knot out of my yarn. Right now I am just doing stockinette stitch for 7 1/2 inches for the bottom(?) of the foot. At least I am making daily progress and haven't given up.  Maybe I will get to the cat bed for Christmas. We will see.
 

Phew! I did it.

Well, after many, many attempts I finally got the knotted wad in the yarn. :-)

I can continue now

I made a beginner mistake.  Of course, I am a beginner so I don't feel too bad. I just started using yarn straight out of the skein.  I didn't make a ball first.  The yarn got a HUGE knot in it about 3/4 of the way through.  It was bad because I had so much on the needles I didn't want to frog it.  So I had to undo the partial ball that I had already started.  It took at least 3 weekends of frustration to finally get it undone.

I must admit, I am very excited now to keep on working on the sock.  Of course, I have learned my lesson the hard way but i do feel proud of getting it fixed. There were many times I wanted to just grab some scissors, cut out the yarn, and restart.

Onward and upward.:-)
