Hi!!
These are the two Shawl patterns that I have to try. I hope they are not too big a project for me. I have been knitting for years but I have only done Knit and Pearl. This last year I have made socks and did the heel turning. I have never done lace before. I rolled up the two hanks of yarn yesterday without the help of a yarn swift. WoW!! am I ready for a yarn swift! That lace yarn can tangle up so easy. I did get them rolled up but I broke the yarn in one place on one of them and the other one got a knot in it. But for 1200 yards of yarn I guess that isn't too bad. It also took me hours to roll them up.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Hi!!

I finally got the Tiger Socks done for my Son in law. I had to crochet 4 Afghans between the time I started them and getting them done. 3 for weddings and one I donated to a place where they provide them for very sick patients or people going through Chemo. I didn't get pictures of all of them. They were the same pattern as the one I have a picture on a previous blog entry. The outside colors were different but they were basically the same. Now to some Tiger Socks for my Son.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Yarn Crochet

Hi!!
I have been busy Crocheting lately, I saw a picture of an Afghan so I tried working out what I thought it looked like. And I went on a trip to Southern Maryland and went to Crazy for Ewe Yarn store in Leonardtown. I picked up some yarn made from Crab and Shrimp shells and some Bamboo and cotton yarn.

Hi!!
I got the first Afghan done! Now to the second one and to the post office to mail it and the baby booties.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Baby Booties

Hi!!
Well I have the baby booties done and now I'm working on the Afghans. Here is a picture of the booties. After doing these I am finally comfortable with turning heels and no longer have to look in the book to see what I need to do. I want to try making a couple of lace shawls so I ordered some lace weight yarn and a couple of patterns from Little Knits. They should be here soon.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Business

Hi!!

Well I have 3 baby booties and one Afghan Square done. Just plugging along!
Here is a picture of the Afghan Square. I have been so busy putting our local Christian directory together that it has been hard to find time to knit or crochet. I will be glad to be done with that little book. I have much to do in my gardens too. Especially the waist high weeds need pulled.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
