As promised….”the sweater”!

I’m sorry it’s taken so long but I am sick as a dog.  I caught what seems to be going around and it’s ucky.
 Anyway, here are some pictures of the finished sweater that was for my Mother In Law who made me promise not to post pictures of her in it so you just get [...]

New Years Resolutions

I have great hopes for the new year.  In fact, I’m quite pumped.  I can’t wait really, it’s a new beginning and I’m anxious to get started.  I’m implementing some now, easing into it.  So, I thought I’d share my resolutions, not only because it feels more official to “announce” the goals, but also because [...]

Cannot wait….

To get all of these gifts OUT OF MY HOUSE! I actually hope to receive way less than I give. I took a step back and surveyed my “craft room”. It’s a tiny 3rd bedroom in our house, which was formerly an office.
Stepson is not here often so his room also serves [...]

Almost there!

Last night, much to my utter delight, we all decided (my husband, the knitting girls and I) that the sweater in fact, did not grow and will be just fine.

Down to the wire.

Ok peeps, here is a picture-less update for you!
The sweater:

3.  I must put it together and knit [...]

‘Tis the season.

I think the panick has set in…..let me check…
Yup.  It has.  I’ve done very well so far, I’ve completed 8 felted bags, a pair of gloves, fourhats, three pairs of fingerless mittens, and a clutch.  A total of 17 FO’s since October.  Easy as pie.  Can it all go that way?  Of course not.
I have a sweater [...]

Ok, here’s the post you’ve been waiting for!  (Well, almost).
This past Saturday was our Craft Girls Holiday party and we each made each other gifts.  I of course knitted and would post better pics but I changed the brooches on the bags at the last minute so I only have pics here.
Sharon, has a purple [...]

I just couldn’t resist.

I have a real post, I really do.  I have pictures from the weekend when I unveiled my gifts to my Craft Girls.  And, I have pictures of their crafty creations as well.  I’ll post that tomorrow. 
But today, while looking for a picture to use for my gmail, I found this:
