Lancaster Pa
Picture crazy post!
Projects are ready to go!
I love the sight of farm-land and rolling hills.
We had breakfast at Clinton Station Diner.
Oh yes it is a train going right into the diner!
When you go in
you can eat in the car!
We stayed at Best Western Eden Resorts Lancaster
Check out our room.
The housekeeping staff is awesome.
The best part of the room was not the two large rooms with large flat screen TVs or the double sinks or the turn down service with the chocolate coins left on the bed each night.
The best part of the room was the shower!
When you get past all the cornball tourist things
and this sight is no longer a surprise
there are some amazing places for fiber nuts to go.
The Kitchen Kettle Village has some great shops.
I found some beautiful pottery at theVillage Pottery for my daughters.
My new yarn home the
Lancaster Yarn Shop.
The shop is so beautiful I couldn't pick one picture so I am posting all!
I have walked to new yarn shops alone and felt I just wanted to turn around and run out because the people were so cold.
Wendy made me feel at home.
I wish I could have gone to their Thursday night meeting because I'm sure all who go must be friendly folks.
These are yarns by local fiber artists.
I found some great books and amazing yarn!
I hope my First Born will make a shawl for me out of the yarn by
Rachel-Marie.
I will make a pair of gloves for her from theWhorled Peace yarn.
The last day I found Labadie Looms.
She has beautiful spinning wheels and looms.
As always I found more great yarn.
Autumn House Farm yarn is so beautiful I can't wait to start a project with it.
The best part of the trip was our visit to Eastland Alpacas.
Picture from Eastland Alpacas website
These sweet animals are so soft and friendly I just wanted to take one home.
The ranch is so beautiful and run in such a loving way. The animals seem to be part of the family. The tour was very informative and even my lupie body could handle it.
This is one of a few llamas they have.
At the store I found this beautiful yarn.
If you are ever in the area make the trip to Eastland Alpacas it is great.
On the road home I finished the gloves I have been working on for months.

I Love Crochet!
While cleaning out my Last born and Hubbies apartment upstairs I found a bag of projects I made many years ago.
These are two blankets I made from Make One For Baby by Carole Rutter Tippett.
The pattern is called Waffle Stripes and you can see why.
This is #2 blanket.
I made up the trim.
I think this pattern makes a great fabric for any blanket. It doesn't have many holes but the fabric is very light. I don't like when the fabric is so heavy that you get tired just having it on you.
These little sweaters are from Worsted Weight Layettes by Carole Prior.
A little cap to go with it.
The pattern was easy and fast to make.
This is another example of the great fabric crochet can make.
I may make a blanket but don't think I can find the same yarn.
Those knitters out there that think the fabric made by crochet doesn't meet up to the fabric one can get from knitting are missing a world of beautiful and inspiring work.

Back to Normal?
My husband and I are getting better with this empty nest thing.
We are starting to turn the dining room into a sitting room and now that the piano is out my living room looks much larger.
First born and hubbie are back form their trip to Boston. Check her blog for details.
Last Born had to take time off from all the new house work because she was getting sick.
So I am not only back to knitting but also back to my Chalk Dust Knitters/Crocheters Group.
At the meeting my good friend Pat pulled out this gift for me!
It is so cool and I have wanted to get one since I saw it online.
One side has a tape measure,cutter,crochet hook and a counter.
On the other side it has a compact.
It contains scissors, point protectors and stitch markers.
I am so blessed to have great friends.Thanks Pat!!!!!
In glove world I'm finishing this pair of basic gloves and will be taking time off from the basics to do more challenging gloves.
The frame was a gift First Born brought me from Boston.
I love William Morris designs. This is called Seaweed.
Here are another pair from a book I love Knitting New Mittens & Gloves by Robin Melanson.
I'm not using the right yarn but the design is so great I'm sure they are going to come out just fine.

No Time To Knit!
My first born and her husband moved into their first home a few months ago. She posted pictures of her beautiful home on her blog.
Here is their backyard with some new additions.
I just love this little guy!
My last born baby,her husband and Maggie(our dog)moved Thursday.
This move was a little different because when they were married they moved into the apartment I have upstairs. That apartment was my parents and when they past the girls used it.
My husband and I haven't been living alone since 1977.
She doesn't keep up with her
blog so here are some pics.
It is a beautiful house but just needed some love.
This picture shows the wall paper and rugs which are gone now.
Now the floors and walls are beautiful.
Before and after of the stove.
The Den had paneling and the sister pulled it down.
First Born found $5 when she was cleaning the lint trap.
My desk after the move.
I gave them my dining room set.
Now we start a new stage of life.
What will it bring!
