Working on my blanket.

Trust me I understand that it would be cheaper for me to buy a wool blanket than to knit my own but where is the fun in that? I have finished three sections of my blanket and hope to finish one more tomorrow. The only way I will get one more done is if I stay on vacation thru the afternoon. I am ready to get home and I am sure my hostess and host are ready for us to leave! I knit three hats and a purse for an upcoming wedding. So knitting has not taken a back burner recently. I am ready to get back to painting. Because summer knitting has never been my favorite. But I am doing what I can when I can! Meaning I could not bring my canvas and paints with me but yarn and needles travel well! I will post pictures soon! Knit On, Maria

New project

I have talked about it for years but I must embark on my 'new' project....my burial shroud. I am not sure the design. I have done research to traditional designs and I think mine will be different. It will be more like a sack. Slip in cinch at the bottom, having a closure at the top. Almost like a cocoon sleeping bag. I love new projects! New goals! Transitions in knitting!

Rainbow scarf for Sidney

Just a quick pic...

Dec knitting

Ok I busted out five pair of gloves, one hat, two washcloths and started another scarf! Not bad for half knitting! Of course I don't have pics of three of the gloves, they were comission pieces. I will photo two of the gloves, the hat and what I finish this week.

Last weekend I was in Cherry Grove and went to A Stitch in Time in North Myrtle Beach----GREAT SHOP! Helpful staff and cheery customers. What a wonderful experience, my kids hung out, my boyfriend slept in the sofa in the sun! I only made one small purchase?!?! Of course I must purchase at each shop I visit, at least this time I remembered I am on a strict budget. I hate budgets. I heard one lady say that her new years resoulution was to knit all of her luxury yarns that she has purchased over the years. I like that thought but some yarns are just best left in their natural state---in a ball or skein to look at.
