Manos Vest

This vest was fast. All stockinette and reverse stockinette. Not crazy about the curling on the edges but love the color and the yarn. Bought the pattern at Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins in Boulder last year and finally dragged it out of my stash to knit. Called for 4 skeins of Manos and the pattern is called Super Quick and Easy Vest by Roxana Designs. It turned out okay and I may like it better if I was 20 years younger and at least ten pounds smaller. Never gonna happen.....alas....sigh

My 3 Feline Buddies

These are my feline friends, Bailey, Paddy and Shamus. Shamus is the gray one, and the oldest, seven. Bailey is the blonde female, six. Paddy is the mischief maker, five. They are my dearest pals and watch every knitted and painted project come to life. What would we do without our pets..........

I love this scarf. I used the pattern from the book titled "A Fine Fleece" by Lisa Lloyd. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn, in colorway South Shore. I have been looking for a lace scarf pattern that was simple enough yet pretty. I love this one. I may make my next scarf using this pattern and a solid yarn. I bought two skeins for the scarf of 215 yards each. I used all of one and just a bit of the next skein. It turned out much longer than I thought it would after I blocked it and pinned it to dry. I would highly recommend this pattern and especially purchasing the book. It has a ton of great patterns in it.

Paul's Caught Cable Vest

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! A promise to knit up that box of yarn from Ireland that was a late Christmas present.....finished. It was really a fun project and after knitting all those cables, I am so glad it doesn't require sleeves. Best yet, it fits him perfectly and he wore it work today. Always a good sign. I love the Black Water Abbey yarn, and the colorway, Jacob, will go with everything. He better wear it a lot. Despite the crazy photos, he really was happy with it.

I have not joined a Cult

This is my hooded cabled scarf. Sorry if you cannot see the cables that well, as I knitted it in black wool yarn from my stash. Although I look like I may be a scary woman from a demonic cult, I assure you that the only cult I belong to, according to family members, is a kntting cult. Yes, that is what one of my dear daughters describes it as. Anyway, a woman has got to keep warm....

Noro Scarves Done

Two instead of One

Another finished project. Loved knitting these Noro Scarves and seeing the color changes. Made the first one with bold colors and the second one with softer shades. After wearing one for a Village Girls outing, I had all the fellow knitters onboard. Now we look like an elderly Harry Potter group.....strange.
