Life just doesn't get any knitter than this

This was TOO funny! It's been awhile since I posted. why? Well, some lucky Tea Swapper just got her pkg sent and I'm glad that's done, although I had a blast hunting and gathering. I can't wait for her to open it! Wahoo!

The scarf saga: Continued

I made my first ribbon scarf. I was thrilled with the results...until...until...well, until I took a picture and realized that there is a subtle difference in the dye lot. Well, apparently not subtle ENOUGH, since I spotted it in the picture. hahaha joke's on me!
8/13 Addendum to the ribbon yarn story: I went and got a matching dye lot today to try and salvage this project w/o frogging the whole darn thing.. Oy Vey! I have even figured out something to do with the mismatched dye lot part of the scarf w/o throwing it all away. Stay tuned for my brilliant idea...Let's see if it works!
8/15/07 I got the scarf redone and I am so happy. The rest of it (the wrong color) is going to be played with and hopefully it'll work. We'll see....

8/27/07 I redid the scarf and sent it to Devon, my darling daughter over at knitandrip.blogspot.com Maybe I can sweet talk her into posting a pic of her modeling it. It was fun...stay tuned though, the piece I cut off is going to be something else.

Felting 101

Another project I am happy with: A felted tea cozy...maybe my Knit 1 Tea 2 buddy will get this one or one similar to it. This was a lot of fun and I learned a lot!

First Project: Done!

Has it only been about a month since I started knitting? I finally completed my very first project I ever knitted. It will soon be on its way to Amy along with 6 more scarves. I would have finished it a whole lot sooner, but I kept getting sidetracked making other things. I gotta say: I am proud!

A Plethora of Scarves

All I can say is WOW. Cousin Janie was put to work making...you guessed it: Scarves for Amy's project. What better kind of visit is there? Knittin' and Gossipin'. We had a ball! CeCe is modeling our handiwork and these will be sent off to Amy this week. What a blast. Janie, you rock! Thank you so much!

Son In Law surprises us

Our son-in-law Jason (Devon's hubby) was in Oregon helping his folks when he surprised us with a pop in visit. We we thrilled to see him, even though we knew he was coming home to see his folks, we knew we wouldn't get to see him as he was going to be a couple of hours from Portland. So there he was on our door step. We were so happy! I also talked hime into taking home a big ball of yarn for Devon! hahaha
We got a picture with our other son-in-law Rob, daughter Vicki (parents of the beautiful girls: Kaylynn 7, Kira 4, Camryn 20 mos) CeCe, Arielle, and son Aaron and you see Roni and Steve...the man who puts up with all my knitting foibles. Gotta love him! Wow! What a great night!

The Knittin' Gals

We have had our cousins Stu and Janie visit from California and when I found out Janie (in the middle) knits, well, I put her to work knitting for Amy's Warm Up Winc project. The sweetie pie on the right is CeCe my 16 yo, who is learning to crochet and me on the left, knitting up a storm. Amy...you're gonna get a ton of scarves! We're having a ball!
