A Couple Projects.

I have a friend from Japan, who currently lives in England, here visiting me. She came in Wednesday night. I had Thursday & today off, also this upcoming Monday.........then back to work for 4 days, then a week off. She must think I only knit, as I have been knitting quite a bit since she came. She's asleep on the couch............while I blog..........

I made that Garterlac Dishcloth. Here it is. It was very fun to knit. I also made the Net Market Bag again, this time in the same cotton yarn as the dishcloths. I really like it alot. I will give it to my sister, who frequents a farmer's market in L.A. every weekend. It's stronger than the ones that I knit in the recycled silk, but not as pretty. For shopping, practical is necessary, don't you think? So, now I'm ready to make myself one in the cotton. Here it is. I still don't understand why my pictures are always blurry & not clear. Your blog is better than my blog!! :) But my dog is better than your dog..............no Keneration, it's California Naturals for her!! I hope you remember that commercial. If you don't, then you are WAY too young & it's WAY past your bedtime!

You will never believe what I'm knitting now. I went back to my socks!! The ones called Jaywalker. I started these, last summer?? Or before?? I could read my own blog archives to find out. But I'm actually 3/4 done with sock #1. It was stuck at 1/2 done for a long time! I'm having fun with them now & I really would like to finish the pair! We'll see.............as you know how I am......................

Have a blessed Easter!

Hey, I figured something out!

If you double click on my pictures, they open up in a new window & you CAN see the cables & the colors!!

It's time for bed.........soon. I started the garterlac dishcloth. You can click & get the pattern if you want. I actually had to take it apart twice. Now I'm thinking I would've written the pattern a bit different, that is if it were my pattern & I was writing it! It was confusing to follow.

We had an Iranian catered dinner at church tonight. DELISH!! Turns out we rent out a space for them to have their church meeting. The Iranian pastor spoke tonight. Their worship team also played. They were alot of fun. Great music.

To: Kathy N....I finished....ALL today!!!



Well, it did not take me 3 weeks to put my afghan together!! I did it all today! It took a long time, but it was very easy. Having a knit stitch at the edges made it so easy to weave together. I wish I knew that before, I would've done my sweaters differently. My next sweater will be alot easier to weave together, because I will put a garter stitch on each side.

Well, my pictures never come out very good. All you bloggers take such good pictures. You can barely see my cables, nor can you see the colors very well. The good news it that I LOVE this!! And the size is perfect! It is as long as I am so it covers me great. And if I want to wrap it around my shoulders & torso while I am sitting, it goes around perfectly.

Yahoo!! Now.........next project!!

I Sort of Finished!!

Yes, all my panels are knitted!! I have to block & weave together now. Then I have to take a picture & put it on my blog!! Any bets on how long it will take me to finish?? I could say that the winning guess wins some sock yarn of my choosing............I'd take it out of stash & give to you. That is if you win..........& I could just say that there were no winners!!! :)

Tomorrow...........breakfast the The Madison Park Cafe!! Sounds good!

Boy, all this new technology is amazing!!!!!!!!! I'm barely scratching the surface with all the new technology...............

Happy Valentine's Day all you sweethearts of mine!!

I started my 5th & final panel of my afghan last night. It has 11 repeats & it takes me 1 hour to do each repeat...........you may understand when I finish it & take a picture. I have 10 hours left. Not sure how I should block this thing. I posted my question on Knitting List & only got 2 answers & didn't like either answer...........

I have a very full/fun weekend planned....knitting included on 2 of the days with 2 different friends! One is an out-of-towner that I get to take to Little Knits with me. Yarn, I don't need, but I did find a couple of really good deals on the website, so I just may go for it!! I will also ask the Little Knits gal about blocking my afghan. She will tell me!! My other friend ordered us some stuff from Knit Picks & she received it.........so that is something to look forward to also. I also have lots of leftover small balls of yarn that I can give to her 10 year old knitting daughter!! Very fun!

I'm late for work.........usually leave at this time..........but I'm actually not buried today. I am even hoping to meet a friend for lunch!

Happy knitting!!
