My current knitting project is a shawl for myself to go with some shirts I bought. It's supposed to be 20' X 60' but I'm making it just a tad wider, say around 25'. It's an extremely simple pattern: k3 p3 for a kind of a bumpy garter stitch look (not stockingnet!) I'm using an inexpensive Acrylic that feels really good in my hand, soft, kind of "fluffy" and in 3 colors. Will be posting a picture of it when it's done!

Free Form Fair Isle Hat


Just recently finished a nice hat for my sweetie's birthday. No pattern? No problem, just did what felt good, using a stranded coloring/patterning. Fun Fun!!

Haven't posted in YEARS....

Aw heck! Why not! In the last, what, 7 YEARS!! I have continued knitting socks, crocheting hats and taking care of my sweetie who has been ill with a chronic condition. I am the main (only) caregiver so being here has given me plenty of time to knit, and recently to learn to spin on a turkish spindle (LOVE IT!) and soon on the Babe Production wheel I got for my birthday (yesterday)My current "project" is spinning enough Merino Top to make myself a pair of socks.
