Good Report from the Doctors

Just a quick post from the "ocean". Ken's 2 doctors appointments went well! PTL and we're resting near the ocean til thursday then home again and back to the grind. I'm working on a baby sweater make out of "katia Cindy" -made in spain... hmmm I had to frog to many times to remember. Pattern errors... mine own. I was too stressed about the doctors appt.'s but now I'm relaxing with friends and a knitting wizard, so the sweater is coming along. Almost finished with one sleeve. The yoke is complete. It's a pink varigated color (#11). 57% acetate, 47% acrylic polyacrli. I'm trying to continental a little.. but....hmm. Anyway I pray I have enough yarn. Happy knitting - will post pictures when I get home!
Happy knitting. God Bless, Linda

Mood – Good – I’m glad it’s Friday. My nephew is in town for a wedding this weekend
and my son and husband have taken him fishing!

What I’m Doing – I plan on going knitting tonight and then guild meeting tomorrow and then to the cabin after church on Sunday. I plan on buying “Denise Needles” tonight. I will be able to take with me on the airplane,
or so I’ve been told. This week has been a little slow at work.
We’ve been enjoy softball games in the evening and last weekend.
We even took “Belle” with us.

WIPThe buttonhole purse is still on hold. Still working
on the top down sweater for my grandson.I finished the washcloth. Still working on my “Scramble socks” as a small take along project. Right now I’m trying to knit a top down baby sweater.. I’ve frogged 3 times. I really wanted to be finished before we leave for Seattle appointments. I’m using the Encore baby pattern that I used last year, but the yarn over’s increases aren't looking right. I’v frogged 4x’s and I want to scream. I’ve misplaced my other resource book that I used to knit a baby sweater top down last year.. it did not have yarn over increases. The book was called “The Portable Crafter”. So I will go to knitting tonight and look at the sample and get help. Tomorrow is our annual knitting guild picnic.I didn’t think I could go but now there’s been a change of plans and I’m going to get to go I think. I turned in the Guidepost sweater last Saturday at the “Mentors and Masters’ knit in.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished listening to
“Bad Luck and Trouble" by Lee Child read by Dick Hill . It was very good.I also finished “Light on Snow”
by Anita Shreve read by Alyson Silverman. It was very good. Now I’ve started another Anita Shreve book called "Body Surfing" read by Lolita Davidovich.

Friday Night Knits at the Grounds



Here a some of my knitting friends.
We have decided that we are going

to learn to knit 2-socks on the same
cable probably the "Magic Loop" method.
I can't wait to start. One of the ladies is
going to teach us as she's already a "PRO".
Anyway I can't wait. Well I guess I will have
to or summer will be gone. :-(

"Holy Cow" no no it's "Howling Coyote's"







This is my friend
modeling a sweater

made for her. Isn't
it beautiful. I wish I
I could knit that
