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

I've been busy

I'm a few minutes from leaving for a long weekend in Tennessee but I wanted to post a few pictures of what I've been doing. (when I'm not on Ravelry, LOL)

A neck warmer pattern for my knitting students. As they finish theirs I'll post pictures of them.

I LOVE these socks. If you are like me and think that you are the last knitter on earth to make a pair of Monkey socks (found on Knitty.com) go ahead and start a pair. You will wonder why you waited so long.

This is Cindy. She is modeling her "Beacause I Care" shawl I made for her.

Happy Halloween

For my daughter and I this is our favorite time of year. So before I start posting about my knitting I want to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween. This weekend I will post pictures from the party we are going to tonight.

Now to knitting. For some strange reason I'm going through another phase of starting projects. LOL. Most of them are easy projects that will be finished in time to give away. Thank heavens.

Yesterday before my knitting class started a woman who works in the office there at Hobby Lobby walked in to chat a little and fell in love with the "Because I Care" shawl I'm working on. She asked me to make her one in black. So I got the yarn and started on it last night. Then, I remembered that in about 3 weeks a dear friend of mine will be having a birthday. So since she is a big North Carolina fan, I found some light blue and white and started her a scarf.

This scarf is going to be a little different that my others. I'm making it on circulars in a tube shape so it will be doubled and extra warm for her. It's coming together really quickly so I'll have it done in plenty of time. For a change I'll be adding fringe to it. It's been awhile since I did that.

From my past posts you all know that I recently started my Ravelry page. That is the best place in the world. LOL. I can spend hours there looking around, at the patterns, groups, yarn, etc. If you aren't there yet, you should go ahead and do it. You won't be disappointed.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and that you take time to get in touch with your inner witch and have a fun Halloween.

Blessed Be
