Striped Shawl Collar Sweater

Here is a new one. Made from Noro Kureyon. Came together really fast. Patterns available through me or from Chicks with Sticks in Hoodsport WA.

Back to knitting

I haven't been knitting in awhile but I got inspired. So I will be posting new designs and projects as they come about.

I had this really great post

But of course when I went to spell check it deleted everything. So I will simplify it. I have started watching a friends child (C in all future posts). I have branched out and am now making hot pads, pillowcases and baby quilts. I have no time. I am so sad. I did get a new to me sewing machine a month ago. It is a Bernina 140. Love it compared to my crappy old machine. I don't know how mothers handle 2 kids. I understand why my mom read A LOT.
I will post more later now that I know I have a reader

Obsessive or passionate

I started the quilt top on Monday and finished with time to spare on Thursday. Basted on Thursday night. Have been doing hand work ever since. Crazy. I went to see National treasure today, want to see again. I think back to the days when dad and I used to go to movies for my birthday and seeing this movie made me miss those days. I saw Star Wars and Raiders with him and I miss those nice calm days. When I finish the quilt I will try to learn how to post the picture

So I suck at blogging

Yes I do. Don't fight me I do. I have been so busy I can't even think. In early Nov we went to the beach and I sprained both of my wrists. Did I take a break, no like a good soldier I struggled on through and have knit 30 scarves in Nov. I am crazy in pain. But come Dec I work on a quilt for a S. I need a little break. I am going to hand quilt it. Should be interesting to see how my wrist holds up.

My Book

Yes I have written a knitting book. One skein projects to knit. If you are interested it is $6.50 plus shipping

Again I know I haven't written in awhile I have been to busy knitting

I am knitting up a storm, but also planning a b-day party and dealing with a sick child (oh fun)

Do I have some fun stuff now. Just this week alone 9 new scarves and 1 bracelet. I plan on doing 5 bazaars in the next coming months and then I will take a small break to work on a quilt and the back to knitting again. At market next year I am hoping to have little sun dresses.

On the medical front I have done a lot of research and I think the PCOS is messing with the hormone tests and that is why I show up as menopause but I show no symptoms. Just a thought.

Also the clutch cable on the volvo snapped. Should be an okay fix. Would take a mechanic 30 minutes. Should only take us 1/2 a day haha

What's new, bazaars

I know I haven't wriiten in 6 weeks, but I have had health issues, family reunions and summer cleaning.

I have been working on X-mas bazaar items. My new item is handknit bracelets. Found a pattern didn't like it so I changed it.

We will be at
Pioneer School bazaar Now 13
Olympia Bearzaar Nov 20
Holiday House Nov 27
