The Panthers Game

The Panthers are winning the Giants game!
I have been busy this week knitting slippers for customers! I love to knit slippers. They are quick and to know that someone will love them for years is wonderful. Many times if you knit something for someone it is a 'fashion' item. And slippers are not 'fashionable' they are functional. And they are a wonderful! If you don't have a pair and need one let me know. If you want to knit it your self just remember to follow the pattern---don't think about why you are doing what they ask for just do it.

I am sketching a pattern right now. A cape! Of course. I love capes! You look amazing in a cape. You look fashionable and stylish. Let's just see if I can get the math worked out and actually get a pattern written.

Ok knitters. Call me if you need yarn. I have my stash at the gallery!

Knit on.

Snow?

And we wait to see if it will actually snow in Mooresville, NC. It did snow but now it is rain and the kids are out early from school! So we are off to a movie.
I finished the Cowl for Becky. Now I need to make something for my sister. I am thinking a cowl too but I don't know if she will wear it.
I will take pictures as soon as the sun peeks out again. I hate indoor bad lighting pictures.
Thinking about all my knitting friends and I am hoping that you are having a great knitting day!
Knit on,
Maria

Commission work

Personal projects are on hold right now. I am working on a hat and two pair of slippers for commission! It gives me a solid goal. I will have to hat done today and start on the slippers tonight...that is if I get off the computer!
Oh, the Tuesday night Three Goats group has decided on a KAL. We are going to do the Knitters Brewing Company Mystery Sock KAL. It starts on Jan 15th. We will be adding a topic on Ravelry under our group so you can keep up with the progress there too!
Knit on,
Maria

Three Goats Knitting Group

Thanks ladies for coming to the house last night. I know that we needed to change the venue for the 'open mic' at the shop. I would not have been able to knit with you if you didn't come to the house. I needed to knit with you ladies this week. Your energy is addictive.
A, I hope that we don't scare you off with all this divorce talk. I don't want that to be the focus of our knitting but sometimes it seems as though it is the only thing on my mind.

T, What color slippers do you want? I have one other pair to make first then I will get on yours.

Once again thanks ladies for keeping me sane!
