Baby wash cloth



Some time back someone was trying to figure out the Grandma's dishcloth pattern. I made a baby one and it was pretty easy. But I only went up to 20 stitches and it came out as a tiny baby wash cloth. I will more than likely frog it, but with the lack of time I have had lately- I feel like I have to look at what I have gotten done:0)

Current Socks



I have spent months trying to work out a cheron pattern for my socks. Here is the progress of this sock, I did some durning a movie and apparently some of my center line is off, so I am going to have to frog part of it. This is my first time using Cascade Fixation yarn- so we will see how I like it.

Moving, back to school, and camping








I did not realize how long it has been since I posted anything. I have worked on Logan's sweater, I have froged it for the 4th time! Maybe it will be done before he out grows it:0)

I have yet to unpack everything from moving, I really feel like just donating everything, but then I will have to go out and buy what I already had.

Beings I have no completed pictures of projects I will just post a couple of pictures from this past weekends camping trip- Yosemite area. It was cold at camp, but so very nice any place you found the sun.

Soap sachet






I have spent over a month trying to get the (K1, YO,K1) in same stitch figured out on the loom. The stitch in the center is supposed to a stitch and not just a strand of yarn. I know when I finally get it, it is going to be a duh moment- I just wish it would come sooner and not later. I finally figured I would make something useful in figuring this stitch out.

Woven Chain and French Knots


I realized that I have not posted any thing other than knited items. Here are two piece of jewerly that I have made- The bracelet is my favorite.








I have yet to glue the end knots, so I have not attatched the clasps, but this is a stand of purple purls for Arianne.

Band heel sock












I like the heel, but I am going to have to frog the socks, the heel added more than I thought it would and I did them toe-up so- They will be frogged. I did these last week, but forgot to post them:0)

WIP's


I finally took pictures of all my WIP's, I think there are a few still stuffed away, like my crocheted afgahn that I have worked years on, I do a few feet and put it away for a few more years. After I took the pictures I ended up frogging a few:0)

Quiet time...

I am trying to gather all of my WIP, so I can see what I need to do to finishe them. For some reason the finishing, sewing something up, or the weaving in of ends is where I end and start somehthing else. I am going to take a picture of everything so I can see just what it is I need to do and see if it motivates me to finish!

Tonight we went up to Twin Peaks and watched the Cities fireworks display! We had the pleasure of freezing our behinds off and seeing several different shows. I think next year we will go to Oakland for theirs- as it looked so much better than San Francisco's.

My new loom.....


I just finished my dish cloth rake. I am very happy with it! It is not like it is really very special, and there are things that I will do different next time. But hey, it was fun to make and my family all thinks I am nuts:0)

So little time, so much to do!









Arianne is going to be in the SF Girls Chorus, it was liking opening a college acceptance letter! She was so excited she got in. I finally finished her plastic bag swim bag and so here she is with it. So to celebrate here she is with it!

Busy, busy, busy....












I know everyone is busy. There is always just so much to do. I have redone the frog and I need to take a new picture of it. I made some hats and matching scarfs that I gave to the school for a silent auction, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them:( In place of posting craft work I am going to post a pictures from Sunday where I spent the day at the beach with the my 3 babies, only 1 has 4 legs. The bridge is the Golden Gate just in case anyone wonders which one it is.

Frogging the Frog....






I got this Bernat Velour yarn,

it is lovely- but breaks easy. I wanted to make a frog with a mouth that opens- thus the red. I only have 1 skein of the green- and I still need to make the arms and legs. I am thinking of frogging this and making it smaller- as the body looks to wide. I am going to play with it a little more and then figure out what to do.....

First post


I am working on a teddy bear with moveable arms/legs. DD and I are working on making hair scrunchies, she has no patience for knitting. Wish us luck. I did take a picture of the poncho I made for her. I did it in a weekend. Now to make a matching hat.
