What's New September 4, 2013

Now that our company has gone home and the house is finished, it's time to get back to work.

Besides crocheting, I love to knit and have had a couple knitting patterns in the making for quite a while, but this week I'm determined to make some progress.  Although I have several in the making, I'm pretty sure the first one I'll be introducing will be...a bear of course. So far so good, but still a long way to go. Hopefully some knitted "cuties" will be in the making soon.

Happy Knitting.

Showing off some knitting

Just finished my Betty Mouat Cowl by Kate Davies Designs and wanted to show it off.

I used yarn from the Plucky Knitter.

What's New This Week September 4, 2012

It's been a while since my last what's new update so I grabbed my camera.

Ready, Set, STITCHES 2012

It's Stitches Time! Almost like Christmas for me. Yep, a day with friends, surrounded by beautiful fibers, new patterns and people who love doing what I do, not to mention...a lot of shopping.

Can't wait, I'll be there Friday because goodness knows I need more yarn (not, but that's not the point)

Stitches Midwest 2012

What's New in August

Have to be honest...there is nothing new on my knitting needles this week, but there have been a few things on my crochet hooks. I've been at Elgin Knit Works, doing two of my favorite things, talking about knitting and crochet and talking about knitting and crochet with some of my favorite people.

Speaking of favorite people, Joyce Garris designer of After This Row will be at Elgin Knit Works tomorrow. She'll be showing everyone how to get the most from their project sheet and charts.

What's New in June

This month...besides being hot and dry, June has kept me busy and of course, I'm surprised it's almost half over. Reminds me...The Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair starts next week. Hubby and I celebrated our nineteenth Anniversary this week (wow, writing that, made me feel old...older). We took a mini vacation and headed to Door County Wisconsin. Water lovers, shoppers and golfers, Door County is for you. Don't worry knitters and crocheters, there are some great yarn shops there as well (my favorite is Spin in Sturgeon Bay). Besides all that, Door County is loaded with lots of great places to eat.  If you like pizza, you'll want to stop by Wild Tomato in Fish Creek for some delicious wood-fired pizza. My sister in law (you know which one you are), makes great homemade pizza and Wild Tomato was almost as good. Enough with my little Door County review.

Here's what's new this month along with a few of the things I have on my needles or in the making (and hope to be making).

Beautiful Opal Yarn from Red Sock Yarns, Fish Creek, WI 

(time to start some socks) and a sweet bird from a friend

 

Rowan Tweed, free color work wristlet pattern from Spin of Door County

 Working on Knitting Pure and Simple Cardigan (for me)

 Classic Elite Verde Colle Seed (loving it, from Elgin Knit Works), 

also need to mention, I'm hooked on my Addi Turbo Circs.

 Of course, I'm working on more then one thing at a time

 

 Debbie Bliss (oh Miss Debbie, you are awesome) Cardigan (for daughter)

 I'm a paper freak by the way, and have to jot it down or forget it. 

New Ecojot spiral notebook, went with whimsy this time

Played with paper this week, not for long, but long enough to turn a 

chipboard arrow into a sweet birdhouse tag

 Vintage find, sure didn't need it, but it sure makes me happy

Yorkshire suitcase made in the USA

New Year's Resolutions

heart mittens, added to Etsy shop 1/5/12

What will this year bring? I'm hoping for a healthy, stress free year of course, but I'm also hoping I find time (and patience) to get some of the things I've been wanting to do done.

I fell in love with color work last year when I made a pair of owl mittens for my daughter. This year, I'm resolving to make time for color work. There are just so many great bags, pillows, hats and mittens that keep "calling" me. Maybe this is the year, they make it onto my needles. Oh, I can't forget about the patterns I still want to create and the spinning and dying I want to do and the house I'd like to keep clean, and the...well, you know there's always something.

Time...never seems to be enough and my fingers need to move faster.
