So very happy with my new sweater!!! Darryl says it makes me look frumpy, but I thinks it’s just me

I’ve finally finished up the last of the Christmas gifts… cards have been bought, gift cards picked out, slippers have been felted, sweaters have been knitted, blankets have been tied. I have a few other things that I need to get done, but I’m setting those aside for right now and knitting a little something for myself

Equals a good day in my books!

Working on

getting these off the needles (since they’ve been on almost 6 month). I’m not thrilled with the yarn, but it’s a trial pair. I prefer to knit the first run with yarn I’m not so in love with…that way don’t have to worry if I’m not in love with them once they’re done.

It’s a Jackson Kelly (or so I’m told) I really wouldn’t know the difference.

Happy Fathers Day

I hope… it’s seems this has taken forever to finish!!!! Base pattern is from Elizabeth Zimmerman Knitter’s Almanac. This book is so very amazing!

A nice relaxing Sunday

Started a brand new project with some brand new yarn! I’m in heaven… setting out side knitting up a storm while Darryl works in the yard.

This pattern comes from Elizabeth Zimmermann in her Knitters Almanac. These were so fun to knit I plan on getting started on another pair (smaller this time).

Finishing up and just starting

I’m trying to get the last bits of the baby things made so I can get them to Michelle before Lil John is born in May.
