I certainly have been neglectful for ever so long. It is time I posted a few pictures of my knitting and such. I guess sometimes my schedule gets a bit hectic and I just do not think anyone is interested in what goes on in my little life here in the hills of Pennsylvania.
Will try and catch you up on a few things. It has been a very busy summer and fall looks to be no no different. One reason I find I can get back and be more efficient is that taking pictures is no longer such a big job. No more taking the picture and then plugging the camera in and about 4 more steps on top of that. Now with the new I-phone hubby gave me a couple weeks ago as a great birthday present this is oh so easy. Snap, send to my email and you have it.
I have been teaching some interesting classes here are a couple. From Betsey Beads the Twilight necklace. I used a heavier yarn from Berroco called Seduce. Blue green beads and then purchased a real silver and turquoise clasp. I loved doing this. Hardest part is stringing the beads.
I found that most of the shawls I love so to knit are very light weight. Yes warm but not warm enough for where I live. So I knit this one this past week from Universal yarn called classic shades.
This is an easy fun knit if you don't get all excited about a lot of short rows. My suggestion is that you practice the yarn over short row. It is easier and faster and works beautifully.
My upcoming class this Saturday will be a button version of a mitered neck warmer. Quick and easy and such a lot of fun. If this is a pattern you wish to have just let me know. It is my personal one and I shall share if happily.
Now enough for today. I will try tomorrow to back track and show you some of the knitting I have not mentioned before. As well as some family news.
