Mood - Tired – My mom was diagonis with Cancer and I’m the one that is having to move in with her and take care of her. That’s why I haven’t been able to post for a month,.

WIP - Finished the "Touch Me” scarf. I got to go to a sock class and worked on a new technique.. although I did not actually start a new pair of socks. It was a very informative class. I was not able to go to the 2nd class because my mom could be left by herself. I also finished a “Fun Fur” hot pink scarf for a friend at work- she bought the yarn and asked me to make her DD and her Niece a scarf. I didn’t get a picture.. I’m working on the Light Pink one now… I do not like working with Fun Fur… it’s to easy to pickup exta stitches and it’s hard to add another ball on.



What I’m Doing -Still finishing up the mittens and headband. I am working on a sweater for my DD. I’ve gotten to 3 of my “Sweater Workshop” classes and I’m getting ready to start on the sleeve. I have a picture to post…but my biggest thing right now is taking care of my mom. I moved in to her house. It seems like I’m working day and night with her. I get some relief from my husband and son. My son is moving back in with us( at our home) so that my husband can stay over at my moms with me. I also have to go to work for a few hours each week or I will loose my benefits.


What Audio Books I’m Listen To - “A Breath of Snow in Ashes” by Diana Gabeldon..her lasts book in the “Outlander” series. Disk 34. I just don’t have time to listen. Sigh….. its’ a wonderful book.

Weather -
Well winter came and it snowed… then 3 days ago the wind came and it all melted. Right now it’s cloudy. A chance of snow this evening… then snow likely after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 2 inches. Lows in the mid 20’s to lower 30’s. Light winds.

Mood - Anxious, worried- My mom is having health issues and I’m involved with her care.

WIP - Finished the “Pulse Warmers” – They are nice. But too cold now to use. I will use at hockey games. I will post a picture next time. I finished the Felted mittens for Elle, for her birthday. They turned out nice.. but I wasn’t very happy about the stripes. I’m working on the Blue Mittens for my DD. One down 1 to go. Matching Headband. And a sampler for the “Sweater Workshop” class I’m in. Also christmas washcloths. I’m also working on a Christmas scarf – "Touch Me" – I’m making it for one our factory reps’ wife. He ask me in July.. so I better get done.

What I’m Doing - Finishing up the mittens and headband. I don’t want to think about Christmas – and it’s just around the corner. My DH is hunting in Minnesota this week. I should be getting my closets cleaned out… oh well.


What Audio Books I’m Listen To - “A Breath of Snow in Ashes” by Diana Gabeldon..her lasts book in the “Outlander” series. Disk 20.

Weather - Brr winter is here. High 19F. Low 14F. Winds from the north---5 to 10mph. Overcast Snow on Friday - hurrah

Mood – It’s Tuesday- I'm done with my “big project” at work -finally!! Just small stuff now. I hope anyway. The show will start next monday and end on friday.. hopefully there aren't to many goofs.

WIP - Go look - I posted pictures of some of them… scarf, mitten, pulse warmer, face cloth, and a pair of toe up baby socks. I'm also working on a doggie sweater for “Freda” (like Snoppy’s only smaller).

What I’m Doing – I’ve been busy knitting, since I last posted. I finished the felted bag. I finished one of my DD felted mittens(not felted will wait and felt them both at the same time). I went to my class on “Pulse Warmers” and finished one of them (see picture). I became a “Guild- Knitter of the North” member. I attended the Yarn Expo II and attended a “Toe Up Class” there by Joan Schrouder’s. It was a lot of information to absorb in 3 hours but I did finish the “one sock” last night. I did learn many new things. I will go to knitting tonight at my LYS before Bible study. The sweater class, using “The Sweater Workshop” book was cancelled maybe a blessing in disquise. Phew!!!!

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - In the car -“A Good Yarn” at work - Anita’s Diamant’s “The Last Days of Dogtown”. She also wrote “The Red Tent”. I’m on Disk 6 of 9. Next – “A Breath of Snow in Ashes” by Diana Gabeldon..her lasts book in the “Outlander” series.. I can’t wait. It’s 48 Disks.

WIP - I'm finishing up the felted bag. I’m working on the I-Cord. I will go to knitting tonight at my LYS. I’ve been trying to go on Tuesday’s b/4 Bible study. It’s fun. I’m also working on a pair of felted mittens for my DD. I also bought yarn for a pair for DIL. I also signed up for a fingerless glove class! Whew...lots to do, and a sweater class, using “The Sweater Workshop” book. Bought yarn for Face cloths and got a pattern. So I will be busy knitting!!!!

What I’m Doing – I’m going to plant tuplips, clean out all the flower beds and get the “white lights” ready. I also want to bake some bread and bulk hamburger.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I just finished“Blood Memory” by Greg Iles. A very good book. Guess what I have “A Good Yarn” on CD. I’m planning on listening this weekend while I knit!!!.

Mood – Depressed – It’s Friday- It’s nice to be home but… work is awful right now!!!!

WIP - Birthday scarf for my little knitter friend. A felted bag, a scarf for a friend at church, and I started on DD mittens, and oh yeah the hat for my WF- I’ve had to frog 2X. The Amble socks.. well I worked on them about 10 hours while on vacation and decided that I didn’t like the pattern.. even though I figured it out. I think it was the “Lorna’s Lace Yarn” and the colorway. Is it all right to frog a project and not finish? I feel a little sad and a failure… well just a little. I will post pictures later.

What I’m Doing – We’re going to the cabin tomorrow and get all the items that might freeze and bringing them home. We’re going to bring Snoopy. I hope my DD packs his “New Sweater” – It’s cold up there..low of 49. Vacation was wonderful.. Ocean Shores was great.. more on that and all the Knitting later. Best news of all was the doctor was very happy with my husband!!! PTL. Said he doesn’t want to see him again till the spring!

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Since I last posted I’ve listened to 2 books and read “The Shop on Blossom Street". I loved it. I’m going to listen to it next. Now I’m listening to “Falling Awake” by Jayne Ann Krentz. It’s going kind of slow. Been to busy at work to stay at it. My friend just got “A Good Yarn”. I can’t wait for her to share.

Weather - Overcast with rain showers at times. High 59F. Low 48F.Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Currently 55F. Fall is definitely here.

Mood – Friday- Happy- Vacation is coming!!!!

WIP - Birthday scarf for a co-worker. Need it done by Monday. Hat for Cindy. And started Amble socks.. although I don’t think I like color. I’ve got my index cards done with the pattern all written out.

What I’m Doing – Getting ready to go on vacation and my DH semi annual Doctors appt. in Seattle. First to Modesto for a softball tournament.. then to Oceanshore, Wa. We will spend a week with my good friend and knitting buddy. Then to the doctor. Pray for my husband if you think of it. I want to go to LYS tonight for Open knitting. I need to look for more PLUM color Galway so I can finish the felted slippers for my DD. (see picture)

What Audio Books I’m Listen To- Since I last posted, I’ve read 4 books and started one that I decided against. Now I’m listening to “Dead Sleep” by Greg Iles and it’s very good.
While we’re at the Cabin last week I listen to "Sudden Prey", "Vanishing Acts", "By A Spider’s Thread" and "In the Company of Cheerful Ladies". All good!

Mood – Wednesday- I wanted to post last week but ran out of time. Boy we’ve been having nice weather. Softball is winding down. Big year end tournaments then to Medesto California for year end tournament. Can’t wait. Then to Oceanshores and lots of knitting with my good friend.

WIP - The Chutes and Ladder socks are almost finished. I hope to post a picture here. I don’t know if I can upload to the 6 SOX ring. I’m starting 2 more birthday scarves. I went to my LYS and got some really nice scarf yarn on sale!!!! Also picked up some kids yarn. I need to steer clear of that place!

What I’m Doing – Bible school/camp at church was a bust for the knitting class. Only 3 girls signed up. But the rest was a success. My darling husband is going to “Willow Creek” in Chicago for a mens retreat… so we're getting him ready to leave. Then I'll be knitting.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To- I’m on Disk 5 of “The Millionaires” read by Tony Goldwyn. Great read. Spy’s ---Secret Service-- $$$$$$. Good.

Mood – Friday – Well summer is gone… boo hoo. August rains have hit. The Fireweed is blooming up to the end.

WIP - I’m still working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I finished the 2 birthday scarves. I posted pictures. Snoopy’s sweater is done but I didn’t get a picture. I’m almost finished with one of the clogs. I had to take it to my LYS and talk to D. about the pattern. I was working the pattern correct. The top will take the right shape after it is felted. I turned the heel on one of the “Chutes and Ladders” sock. I plan on finishing this weekend. I bid on 2 different batches of yarn through E-Bay and they came in the mail the same day. They are beautiful. One is assorted black… mmmm cashmere, merino, ladders and other black yarns to make up 1#. The other batch was purples.. also yummy. I better contain myself …my stash is toooooo big.


What I’m Doing – Next week is vacation Bible school/camp at church in the evenings. I’m co-teaching a knitting class for 8 - 12 year olds. It will be fun. We are going to make our own needles also. I’ve been looking for a good tutorial on line… We will see what happens. They are to bring sz 10 needles and yarn.

What Audio Books I’m Listening To - I finished “Mortal Prey” – was very good. Also listened to “War of Eagles” by Tom Clancy and “Dirty Work” by Stuart Woods while camping. It’s nice to sit by the fire, knit and listen to an audio book. I just finished “Nights of Rain and Stars” by Maeve Binchy and have started “Velocity” by Dean Koontz.

Weather - Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. Winds W at 5 – 10 mph. Chance of rain- 50%. Currently 68 High today near 65 low 55.

This is the first slipper that I'm going to felt.
Almost done. Need to add top and the second sole.
Not bad for my first FELT project only one more slipper to go.

Mood – TGIF – and the weather is nice. No smoke. Good forecast for the weekend.

WIP - I’m still working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I had to frog the second sock 2x. What’s up with that? Oh well… I only have 9 days left to finish them and 2 birthday scarves. I will be busy this weekend. We are going to the cabin – usually I just work on items that can be exposed to smoke. Ie: Snoopy’s sweater and clogs but I guess I will wash the socks before I give them to my little friend.

What I’m Doing Today – Tonight is Bunco and then home to pack for the weekend. I have Monday off too. So it will be nice to just relax and go fishing.

What Audio Book I’m Listen To - I’m listening to John’s Sandford’s “Mortal Prey” - just started. I just finished disk 6 of “Nights of Rain and Stars” by Maeve Binchy, but I only brought 2 disk with me to work. It’s going slow. Nice story though… not to intense, lots of characters.

Weather - Warm and clear. Possible showers by the mountains later tonight. Currently 68 High today 70 low 58.

Mood – Tired/In pain – recovering from a dentist visit this week.

WIP - I’m working on my Chutes and Ladder socks. I’ve frogged 4 times. I will post a picture. I found some nice purple yarn that I like for the most part. It has a tendency to split L . I’m also working on 2 birthday scarves – both for the same day. One is a “Kandy Mistake Scarf” and the other is out of chunky, ladder ribbon, and what I call bums. It’s red. I will take a picture this weekend and post next week.

What I’m Doing Today – I’ve been surfing the net finding cool Blogs on knitting. I still need to find a blog on how to make my blog “look cool”. I went to the library and I got 2 different books on HTML but when I play around with my blog in “Front Page” it’s a mess. My sister was in town last week and we had a nice BBQ last friday at my DD’s. My DH niece also came for a visit and we had a BBQ on sat. so we are BBQ out. I showed my sister all my knitting books etc. and made some copies of different patterns. I sent home a hat and scarf for my niece. This weekend we have a softball tournament so I plan on working on my cable sox then. Tonight we’ll kick back and watch TV, have a pizza and watch – “Monk”. There is a lot of smoke in the air from the forest fires that are burning wild in the Kenai area. The wind needs to shift and blow from the north. My eyes are burning and it’s getting hard to breath.

Weather - Hot and smokey. Currently 66 High today 72 low 58.

It's Summer!

Mood - Sunny

WIP - I finished the “Sox’s that Rock”!!!! And they fit. I’m working on another BD scarf. I’m using a nice cotton yarn called –“Candy”. I will post a picture of both the socks and the scarf soon. I’m working on my “Chutes and Ladders” sock. I’ve frogged 2 times. It’s coming along now, but you can’t see the design or the yarn over's very well so I’m considering using a different yarn?

What I’m Doing Today - Bunco tonight and then to the cabin for the weekend. I will work on work on Snoopy’s doggie sweater and slippers around the campfire. Those items can get “smoky” and full of mosquito dope and be o.k. LOL.

Weather -Warm and sunny. Currently 68 High today 72 low 58.

WIP - I’m still working on my “Sox’s that Rock” – I joined the “Six_Sox” knitting ring. The first sock for this year is “Chutes and Ladders”. I think it will be fun. I’ve never done a cable before. I’ve been investigating different sights for techniques. I finished Emily’s Birthday scarf and I need to start another ASAP. Next birthday 7/7.

I posted the pictures of my recent scarfs last night .. what a job. I haven’t posted in almost a month. I’ll try harder?

What I’m Doing Today – High School Softball BBQ tonight. Garage saleing tomorrow. Looking for yarn. I have found some very good deals so far this summer. Ken and I will be working with the HS softball summer program so between that and work we won’t be going to the cabin as much as we wanted.

Mood – Good!

WIP - I’m back from vacation and will try and post all the pictures of my projects soon. I’m working on my “Socks that Rock” – I’m having a problem with the second one. The pattern isn’t the same as the first at all. I knew it would be a little different but…. See the pictures. I have started over again at the other end of the skein of yarn to see if the self-pattern will work out. It doesn’t seem to be working but I will have to work a few more rows.

What I’m Doing Today – Trying to get caught up at work and home. Spring has come at last. We came home to snow. Yuk. And our weather in Arizona wasn’t that hot either. It was a break!!!

This is the sweater that I made for Snoopy. It was too small... but look he's been on a diet... maybe I won't have to start over!
Posted by Zing

Well I started on a sleeve for the "Fishermans Sweater". My son tried on the front and the back.... too long. I'll have to frog all the way back before the raglan sleeve decrease.
Posted by Zing

Mood – Stressed because of work!

WIP - I worked on the “Fishermans Sweater” this past week. I started the sleeves. (see picture) I will have to frog the front and back because it’s too long. If I don’t my ds won’t wear it. I started another scarf for DD out of “Amsterdam” by Lana Gatto made in Italy. Wonderful fiber. We had our granddog for the last 2 week so I got out his “doggie sweater” to see how much I need to alter. It fits better than it did last summer… he’s been on a diet and now it almost fits. Do I start over or wait until he loses more weight?

What I’m Doing Today – Thursday – worship team practice…. Only 2 more weeks and we go on vacation. I will start packing this weekend. Yarn first, audio books next, and then clothes… in that order. Work is very stressful. We’re having our annual Gun Appreciation Dinner and Show and of course everything has to be done now.

Weather - Snowing hurrah … there will be fresh snow for the Iditarod Dog Sled races on Saturday.... partly cloudy with light snow - High 31 Low 25

What I’m Doing Today - It’s Thursday night ……worship practice then we’re going to a UAA basketball game.

Weather - Partly cloudy..It’s shinnig now. High of 32 and melting Low 25

This is my WIP scarf....The Safari

Mood - Happy..It’s friday

WIP - I’ve been busy this week. I finished the baby socks. I also started and finished a “Dune Scarf” using the famous “Internet Scarf” pattern. My DH and I went to a conference Friday and Saturday last week and spent my time knitting and let him take notes. I started a “Safari Scarf” for my friend Kim. I called it safari because of the colors. She’s into “safari” things. I started the decreases on the front (or back) of the Fisherman’s sweater- only 52 more rows to go and then I can start the sleeves. I went to my LYS and signed up for a class.. but not enough signed up so the class is postponed for a few weeks.

What I’m Doing Today – It’s Friday……Tan and then pizza. I want to go to my LYS and get 2 more skeins of Galway sports yarn. I’m going to start a hat and scarf for my DD’s birthday.

Weather Let is Snow, Let is Snow, Let it Snow - for the last 2 days. We’ve gotten about 14 inches. This is the first major snow this winter. I’m glad. They were going to cancel the Sled Dog Races… but now there back on! Temp -18… Low 4

This the is "Dune" scarf I made for a friends birthday.Next time I'll buy 2 skeins.... 93 yards = 42 Inches. That's not long enough for me, I think scarfs should be at least 50".

These look pink... but they are Lilac

This is "Snoopy" our granddog - he spent the night earlier this week
- Isn't he "Cute".

Mood – I’m in low spirits. Too much sadness this week. Too many friends that are ill.

WIP - I’m still working on those baby socks. Almost done. I went to my LYS and signed up for a class that meets on Saturday afternoon. I can’t wait. It’s a 6 week class over 2 months (spring break in the middle). Started a ribbon scarf last night- well really the night before but frogged that one because I didn’t like.

What I’m Doing Today – Work and Worship practice tonight. Although I might go with DH to a BB game after. Finally put Christmas to bed so the house is back in order. It’s been below ZERO all week so we cleaned out the freezer. That wasn’t to bad – re-organized. We still have a lot of salmon, venison, and a little moose to carry us over. Didn’t get to watch “Lost” or “Alias” :-( last night but I recorded and will watch this weekend.

Weather - Brr – Freezing cold. It’s been as low as 20 below this week. It gets up to around 10. At least it’s been sunny - almost warm. Currently –4
High today 7 Low 2. Light snow?

This is one of my WIP scarfs. I got the yarn (cotton,metalic) on-line. Very nice. K,P,P,K row sequence. It's about 40 inches long now. I'm not sure how long I want it.
