At Knits End!


So Barb bestowed upon me the "At Knit's End" book to read. And I have to say it has been very funny. Pretty much every one has applied to me but here is my favorite so far...




What we love to do we find time to do.

- John L. Spalding

Everybody tells me that they would love to
knit, but they don't have time. I look at people's lives
and I can see opportunity and time for knitting all
over the place. The time spent riding the bus each day?
That's a pair of socks over a month. Waiting in line?
Mittens. Watching TV? Buckets of wasted time that
could be an exquisite lace shawl. Eating, sleeping and
laundry? Sweaters.


My favorite place to knit...

I think this is my favorite spot to knit. This chair belonged to my grandfather on my dads side. I never got to know him but...I love his chair!

SO Paul's sweater is coming along. I have split the round to start the armholes. I am about 6" into the armhole on the back. I have decided nothing else gets cast on till this is finished. As you will see in with all the goodies below that I got...I am going o fly through the rest of this sweater!
Happy Birthday to me! Sock wool for ME!
Merry Christmas to ME! This is going to be for my first attempt at lace.
Merry Christmas to ME! Noro sock wool for me!
Hey I can be greedy I have been knitting for everyone else the past few months tine to spoil me a bit!

Barbs gems and her scarfs!

Barb has been at it again! This is Josh and his beautiful girlfriend Zahra wearing the scarfs that Barb made for them. Notice Zharas scarf perfectly co-ordinates with her stunning hair colors. Speaking of hair? Something looks different with Josh's hair?
