Finished the Debbie Bliss sweater

So school is out for summer and I am getting my projects done.






It feels so great to be able to relax and do just what you want. I guess that's what retirement is like.
This is the first time I down loaded all my pictures into my computer,resized them, put them into flickr and ravelry all by myself. Well, my teacher/daughter did make a cheat sheet for me. But I still did a great job and I'm proud of myself!

Knit in Public Day

Kit in Public Day at stix-n-stitches was great. I met some very special knitters and crocheters. I was sharing my difficulties with knitty Oblique someone told me she and her husband had the same problem and were unable to finish the sweater. I think I'll try it again. I knew I would go back to it so I didn't take the rib off the needles.
I took advantage of the sidewalk sale and got some great yarn at great prices. I am well on the way to this The worlds biggest stash
I also got a lot of work done on both my Poonam and Debbie Bliss sweaters. I hope to finish both and post pictures soon.

New Cable Sweater

My new baby sweater is well on the way.


Baby Poonam from Berroco, made with Cascade Tweed 220. I love tweed yarns and enjoy working this easy pattern. The back and front are done but I still need help down loading the pictures. I just can't seem to remember what my daughter teaches me. This hope the more I do it the better I'll get.

I'm just about done with my Debbie Bliss Jacket With Seed Stitch Band, made with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino dk.




I just need the collar and seaming, but I ran out of yarn because I always make my sweaters a little bigger. I'm going to stix-n-stitches to get more and hope to finish it this weekend.

The Bootie family is growing.
Just arrived!


I will not make another pair for a while but I'm sure the family will continue to grow.
