Hubbie Scarf

I finished brooklyntweed's Noro Scarf I was making for my husband.


Made with the Noro Silk Garden I got for Christmas from my first born.


The colorway of this yarn is amazing!


I find the yarn to be a little hard on my hands but when knitted up the fabric is soft to the skin.

Now I can throw out that old scarf he has been using. Happy Day!!!

First born and her husband close on their first house Wenesday!
It seems like yesterday I brought her home from the hospital. Life goes way too fast.

More Gloves

These were made with Ragia sock yarn the Kaffe Fassett Line. I just couldn't get the them to match so I gave up and just enjoyed knitting.


They're for my youngest and I think the colors work great for her because she is an art teacher.


I'm proud of the space between the fingers. There are no holes and they look pretty good,if I do say so myself.
She gave me Two Thumbs Up!!!!


I just got my Vogue Knitting! So many beautiful thing but because I'm on a glove kick....


These will go on the needles today! Yes that is Jader Flood Brooklyntweed.

I'm not sure what yarn I will use from my stash. I have to chech gauge but I have some nice Cascade 220 Tweed left over from my daughters sweater or some beautiful Rowan Felted Tweed I got from Santa.

Good Time to Remortgage!

I was just sitting knitting with The Chalk Dust Knitters and Jackie takes out her new set of addiclicks. She texted Patricia's Yarns and had her put aside her last set for me.

The next day a little snow wasn't going to stop me!
So we stopped off at the bank to remortgage the house,and we were off.



HERE IT IS!



They come in a beautiful box.


When you open the box it looks like Jewelry!
The set comes with 10 pairs of addi Turbo needle tips sizes US 4-15, 3 blue cords, 1 connector, and a pretty little heart pin!


The tips are easy to put on and take off. The join is very smooth and I can't wait to use them!


Patricia had these Blue Sky Five Inch Double Points.


They're made of beautiful dark rosewood and perfect for making fingers on gloves. I'm working on my second pair of gloves and just about ready to start the fingers.

I'm a happy camper!

Knitting, Eating,Friends,and Wii

My Columbia Beret is done. This is a free pattern by Sarah Pope and can be found on Ravelry.
I made it out of Knit Picks Swish yarn on US #7 16" circular needles and then size 5 dpn's. It is an easy, fast knit but I messed up one of the rounds. I will have another on the needles soon.



The model is My first born Grimm Witch of Jersey.


I added the berry button.


So I hear the first step is admitting you have a problem.
I am a wii addict!
I missed many hours of knitting because of this Animal Crossing game!
My little friend is Lupie and she lives in Knitting Town.
I know it's sad but I can't help it!


To make matters worst I got the Simms Castaways. I hope going back to work Monday will help.


What is a post without pictures of food.
The Chalk Dust Knitters met at Pat's house and first we ate lunch.


Then we had dessert! The Apple crumb and the cookies were homemade and awesome!



We did get to knit/crochet. Pat is working on another sweater for her granddaughter and check out Annette's beautiful scarf!


My first born is working on yet another BSJ.


My last born Pepper is making a beautiful basketweave scarf. You can see Crochet with me with the gift I gave the group. More pictures to come when the rest of the group gets their gifts.

When members are missing the meetings just aren't the same. Jackie,Maria,and Steph were greatly missed. The next meeting is Friday so there will be another post of lots of food and gift giving.

Way Too Many Pictures!

We have had a tradition in our family since the girls were little of getting Christmas board games and playing them all day. The tradition continues but now the games are more mature.



Even tradition will not stop the knitting! There is also origami being created in the background.


Yes,these are a Christmas present my first born is making for her sister.




More game playing.


Lots of origami.



And more game playing!!!! All the games are beautiful and lots of fun.



I got some great stuff! I do love Lucy!!!!



Lots and lots of awesome yarn.


This is my silly husband with one of his gifts.


My last born is and artist.The Art Geek is the website of her work.
She took these beautiful pictures for me.

I am working on Columbia Beret by Sarah Pope Blue Garter.






Yarn Heaven!










This Noro Silk Garden will soon be a take off on brooklyntweed's Noro Scarf for my husband.



This is all way too much for Maggie. She is the reason everyone should go to a shelter and adopted an older a pet!
This is where we found Maggie Pet Finder.

First Snow!

I was able to finish my first pair of gloves just in time to give them to my daughter for the first snow of the season.
Some people don't like making gloves because of the fingers and I am sure those same people hate to weave in ends. Well call me crazy I enjoy doing both!
The only problem I have is getting hole in the space between the fingers. I have added and extra stitch and passing it over but I still have to do touch ups when weaving in the yarn.
Any help out there?


Martha has some knitting patterns in her January issue. I mean real knitting(not just cutting up a sweater knitted by someone else and crafting with it).


We had a one session day at school because of the snow and I got home to find my car smashed! Hit and run!!!!!


Needless to say I was a little upset! After yelling and cursing in the middle of the street for a few minutes I went went into the house and started to count my blessing.

Blessing 1. I have insurance and I can pay the $500 deductible,for something I didn't do! Oh right, I'm listing my blessings.

Blessing 2. My husband and I are off for almost 2 weeks which gives us time to handle all of the paper work.

Blessing 3. If the car isn't ready by the time I have to go back to work I go to work with my daughters and they can drive.

Blessing 4. I was going to stay home but went in because the other teacher in my group was going to be out. Oh! this is for the person that hit me because if I would have been there I may have gone out and beat them.

Blessing 5. I have enumerable blessing.

The Spectrum Is Done

I finished the Eunny Jang's Spectrum Scarf and I love it.
I have not blocked it but was checking out the Spectrum Scarves on Ravelry and may just have to do that.


I'm not much of a scarf person but I like wearing this one.


I made it long so I can loop it and the pattern is lace like so it is light so it's not bulky.


I'm on the second glove I'm making out of Jitter Bug yarn. I hope to be done by next weekend.
