Lovely lace.

Onward and upward I say!
I still want to try some lace and want to at least choose a pattern and cast on.  I will admit, this is a bit daunting.  I of course chose intermediate and experienced lace patterns but whatever, I’ll just jump in with both feet.
I was actually hoping you could all help [...]

I’m more than 42″ into my Lady. Yikes!

Almost there!  I hoped I’d have enough yarn for this to be AT LEAST 60″ long.  I’m already over 42″ and have almost three and a half balls left (minus fringe).  I think I’ll have plenty and it will be a great length.  Here she is so far!

I just cannot wait to finish this one!  [...]

Yes, the lady it is.

I have decided that I will finish the Lady by Easter. I think that will be a nice thing to wear to the family functions that day. So there we have it! I’m working through the seventh ball of Noro out of ten, so the end is near.
I’ve also had some thoughts [...]

My Secret Pal Strikes Again!

I really need to try to figure out who this person is.  She (I know it’s a she b/c no men joined this particular round, it just happened that way I guess) is a spinner as she enclosed some handspun, the first package had a post card from the Berkshires and this box was reused [...]

Another SP round…

I continue to really enjoy SP rounds but think that I might not do a long one again and just do some short ones.  A “spring fling” Secret Pal round was posted on the knittyboard so I decided to do this.  It’s just one package over one month’s time.  I figured I’d share part of [...]

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend and a fun St. Paddy’s Day (if you celebrate it).  Peter and I had a good time and a nice relaxing weekend.  His gig was great Saturday night.  I’m always impressed by him when I watch him play.  He sings while playing the drums for his Wheels [...]
