Spring, I love it!

Even though it's taking me a little while to get back into my routine here in Georgia, I am so enjoying Spring. Everything is new and fresh and the air smells good. We've had some good rains and the blooming trees are fantastic this year.

On the knitting scene, I've just about finished my Two at a Time TOFUTsies. about another inch of the leg and then the cuff. I really love how these socks feel on. Can't wait to get them on. They will be great for Spring.

I also have started a Friendship/Prayer shawl for a friend of mine. She's only 30 years old and is facing some serious breast surgery. They have to do a couple of experimental surgeries before they can say she has or doesn't have cancer. It's crazy what these doctors put people through. Anyway I am making her the Triangle Entrelac Shawls
by Diane Conroy .

This is a close up, but I am making it pretty big so she can wrap up in it and snuggle. I'm using Jo-Ann's Sensations Rainbow Classic in what they call Red/Turq Multi.

While I was in Tennessee, I exchanged some yarn that I had bought too much of for something totally out of my color scheme. I've been really trying to get out of ruts, so I picked this....

If you haven't tried knitting with Heritage, you should try it. I think you will enjoy the experience.

Blessed Be

Pictures

They were slow in coming, but here are some pictures finally. LOL. The only thing that I didn't get a picture of is a triangular shawl that I made and gave away as soon as it was finished.

This pictures is of the fair isle bag that I started back in the Spring. Since this picture was taken I've finished the purple flowers on it and started another color section. I really need to get this done because I'm in serious need of a new tote.


In my Thursday morning knitting class I have several woman making prayer shawls and lap blankets, well you know how I am. I got inspired and started one too. ;-) This is a pattern that I made up and will be a lap blanket for the grandfather of a friend of mine who is in an assisted living home. He's 90 years old.

Another inspiration from a student. I have to thank Bev for sharing with us one of her new knitting books she bought. In it, is this cute scarf pattern made from ribbon yarn. Well guess what I just happened to have in my stash for a few years. Yes, I said a few years. And I wondered what will I do with this stuff, well it's perfect for the scarf. By the way, you all know how I love patterns that look complicated but really are simple. This one is perfect. I am getting so many compliments on this project all ready. The only thing that I will change on the next one is the width. I think it's too wide. 27 stitches on size 10.5US to give you and idea of the width.

So there you have it. Oh and I do have some new sock yarn and plans on getting some summer socks going pretty soon.

It's nice to post some real knitting stuff instead of personal stuff. (smile)
