Anouk and Matching Hat
Saturday, 29 May 2004 9:07 A GMT-06
I finally tore myself away from the computer last night and finished the flowers I started at Red Lobster and sewed them on the dress. I now give you Modified Anouk and Matching Hat. You can see I didn't go with the patch or pockets. Click below to
Was the Hat Trick successful?
Friday, 28 May 2004 5:04 P GMT-06
Well, you be the judge and we will see if you confer with my opinion. But there is still the question of what to do with the dress. The patch idea didn't work due to the size of the patch and the not-so-size of the bod

Wanting to see if the 4 colors of Cotton Fleece I posess will blend together I started a hat. As I was knitting along on the red I realized, not enough yarn! So I added the yellow, and then the green and then why not th
The dress is done......

Too much rain in your area?
Tuesday, 25 May 2004 8:44 P GMT-06
I got your solution. Just have me come and be your gardener. A few times the last 2 weeks I have held off on watering my flower beds due to high probability of thunderstorms in our area. So I waited, and watched, and waited, and tuned into the Weathe

I had too much fun teaching this one. Now to thnk of some others I could teach. Everyone's bag will turn out lovely. I am just sorry I won't get to see the finished (felted) products. While in the shop last night I saw a lovely shawl that someone had
Would you like some cinnamon rolls?

Then come on over and let's eat. Just finished baking over 4 dozen rolls for the girls to give to their teachers and other school workers. Been doing this since Elder was in Kindergarten. Each year we seem to add another group of people to thank. Thi
Cotton Fleece hurts my wrists!
Sunday, 23 May 2004 3:00 P GMT-06
But that's no reason to stop knitting this darling dress. Anouk got hold of me and just took over my world yesterday. I cast on while sitting at Younger's soccer game and knit through that and the piano recital and then

Applesauce
Friday, 21 May 2004 8:11 A GMT-06
No, today's post has nothing to do with applesauce or apples. Just gets hard somedays to come up with a title that encompasses the post. So whenever I am in need of a title I will just go through the alphabet, pick a letter and then the first word th
Are you in the Biz?
Thursday, 20 May 2004 9:17 A GMT-06
Was invited to join a new knitting ring. The Knit Biz Bloggers ring. No, I do not think of myself as a big "knit business" blogger. The ring is for anyone starting or already established as a business knitter. I am definitley in the "s

I worked on it from late afternoon, at home, through a pizza party and at a soccer game and I got it done. Here's some action shots of the finishing. First I put a lifeline on the collar which had live stitches. Put mo
Itching to finish
Wednesday, 19 May 2004 7:58 A GMT-06
My hands are itchy. That means they want something new to do. It seems whenever I approach the end of a current WIP I get the urge to start something new and stop working on the old. Why do I want to forsake the current for the new and interesting?
What fun can be had!!!

When you start teaching knitting classes. OK, so I have only had 1 real try at it, but I sure enjoyed it! You would think it wasn't a big deal since I have taught quilting classes and needleart classes. So why was this one different? Because I was ab

...but now I think I didn't think enough! Problems in Dale land due to my inability to read. I have messed up the decreases for the fronts and sleeves. Not sure if a fix now will help. I am converting the flat piece knitting to flat all in one piece
Shrek 2, the sequel
Sunday, 16 May 2004 11:44 A GMT-06
It's great, I love it! Fantastic way to spend your time. No, not the movie, The Slippers! One ready to felt and the other on the needles. Why Shrek 2? Well, Shrek 1 is no longer with us. And due to my stupidity the photo is no longer with me. Just

Cleansing rain
Thursday, 13 May 2004 8:26 A GMT-06
We had it last night. Not a gentle one, but a full force, storm trooper, version of it. I love to hear the deluge on the roof. Of course, if it was a tin roof I might not feel the same, but I do love a gentle rain on a tin roof. At least we finally g

How goes it? Everything is fine here. Big plans for the day are the Zoo fieldtrip every kindergartener takes at the end of the year. Today is our day. Plan to take a sock to knit as we walk and sit. Just hope the weather is nice enough for holding wo
