Baxter’s new sweater

There’s nothing I enjoy more than listening to a book, while I knit. It’s been so cold and Baxter really could use a warm sweater when he goes out doors. I am using yarn from my stash. Noro silk garden, color 2190. I love the colors. The pattern is free from Lion-brand. 

I think he likes it, or is debating whether to leave. 


I think he looks good in it. The pattern is easy and a quick knit. I will try another, however,  I will knit a little longer.

Summer Fun

This Summer I had a visit from my granddaughter. She is so much fun to have around, so full of life and so very mischievous. She is a little like her mother but does not have a single shy bone in her body, even though she loves to say she is. I've been missing her dearly since she has returned home. Forgetting how much energy it takes to entertain a six-year-old. I must admit that after she left, I was quite exhausted. In this picture we both had our hair done, and I was so ready to take a nap. Even so, I had a great time and truly miss my little ladybug. I've not knit as much as I would have liked, currently, just trying to complete some projects I've started some time ago. A vest in silk, a cardigan, in a soft alpaca, Moreno blend, and a Shawl, using Knit Picks, Alpaca Cloud. For the shawl, I am using the EZ 100th Anniversary PI Shawl, which was free on Raverly. This will be my first-round shawl, I image you would fold it in half in order to wrap around your shoulders. I ...

Bad Hair Day! I am having a great hair day, as for Chloe; well she’s still adjusting to her new do. Here are some shots of her before and after. Feeling sorry for her, I decided to knit her a little sweater to keep her warm. She loves her sweater and looks forward to putting it on every morning. I don’t think it will last very long, as I made it for her current size, not allowing much room for growth. Once she is fully grown, I'll probably have to redo it. I have always wanted to learn how to weave, and I have even tried to convince, my fiancée, to take a class with me. I think he may enjoy weaving classes. Now after reading Sweet Georgia , I am getting that bug again. Even so, all that warping seems like a lot of work.

Here she is finished and ready to dry.   I will be participating in this year’s West Knits, MKAL. This is the yarn I will be using. Looking forward to starting this mystery project. We know it’s going to be a shawl, and Steve West , always has the most interesting patterns, you’ll never get bored knitting anything he creates, the man is very talented. The yarn I’ll be using is by Twisted Ambition, sweet sock, in La vie bohemian, and Amber, and some burnt orange mohair that I found in my stash, which I'll plan to blend in somewhere along the pattern to give the shawl some texture.
