It's a long weekend



and I've been busy knitting - again!!! Nothing new there.I ALWAYS have something on the needles, or the hooks if I'm in a crocheting mood. So, I have some more pictures to add here. This first one is of the Kiri I am doing, I need to get a good circular needle, and transfer it to the circ. The photo doesn't really do justice to the pattern, because the colour is a darker purple than it looks.

This next picture is of the first towel topper I did. I finished it yesterday. It's a knitted one, and I'm actually quite pleased with the way it looks.

A finished article!!!


I have finally finished something!!! I know that doesn't sound a lot, but when you realise that I am one of those people who am really great at starting, not so good at finishing. This is a scarf from Knitting.com. It's not as big as it could have been, because I didn't use the wool, or needles they specified in the pattern. Anyway, here is a picture of the scarf - if I can work out how to get the picture from the CD, first!! lol

Restarted my Kiri

Well...I restartedmy Kiri - again!!! This time I'm using 5.5mm needled, on some yarn that is a mystery to me. It is working on these needles, though. Now that I have the hang of how the pattern works, I will be able to move along quite well. I'll have to take a picture, and put up a progress photo.

Kewl, somebody read this!!


Wow!!!! I really didn't expect to see comments!!! Thank you!!! lol
Anyway, I', going to take some picture os some of the things I have on the needles, and start putting them up here for viewing. I'm NOT going to photograph ALL the things I have going, as there are just way too many!!! I start things quite happily, just finishing them, and NOT starting anything new is my problem!! lol There are just too many patterns that I need to try, and not enough time to do them all, so Ifigure if I start some of them, I might eventually get them finished. Sounds good to me, anyway. :)
Now I'm going to see if I remember how to put up a picture. This one will be of my daughter on the occasion of her 21st birthday, which was in August of this year.

Has it been a while!!!!!

I'd almost forgotten I even had this blog. Nobody reads it, anyway, so it don't really matter. My daughter moves out after work today. I am really going to miss her, but I know she is ready for this. At least, she isn't moving out of town, or out of the country!!!! That has got to be good!!!
I finally have a memory card for my digital camera, so will now be able to take more photos, especially of my knitting, and crocheting. Then I may even be able to post some of them up here, to make this look more interesting.
Now off to learn how to add this to my signature, when I post on the groups I'm in.

Boteh Shawl

Here is the shawl that is in 2ply lace, on 4mm needles. I am over half way through the first chart.  It takes quite a bit of concentration t...
