Knitting on Ship

What's a woman to do with a little extra time on ship? Why, of course, knit socks. I think the other passengers were intrigued with my knitting. I took it on bus excursions or port talks. How sad for those watching, with nothing in their empty hands......

Sock yarn in Germany

Alas! I hunted my way through Germany, the Netherlands, parts of France, only to find many little shops who carried sock yarn. Oh well! I came home with 4 skeins of it, but many happy memories of Europe and all it's charms. It will have to be back to the good old USA for yarn choices...... Took a photo of one of the yarn displays in Germany, yes, sock yarn......

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!

I have some of the dearest knitting friends. Today my dear friend, Judy, (aka Fiber Experience), took me to a lovely lunch at a new restaurant in Littleton by Cottage Yarn. We eagerly consumed pork schnitzel, mashed potatoes and carrots, followed by a scrumptious apple strudel sundae. Needless to say, not a diet day. Then we perused Cottage Yarn, and also went to Posh. Judy gifted me with some lovely fingering weight yarn, a book of clever craft stickers ( to be used on knitting gifts, and a wee kitten to sit on my window sill. A lovely day with a wonderful knitting friend, (the best kind of friend).
On Tuesday night at Knit Knack, Christie, (aka Crittie 42), gave me a beautiful wrap in my favorite colors. I don't think the photo does it justice. It looks like it is handwoven and is a perfect light weight, gonna take this on my trip this month.
All in all, a great birthday, made ever so special by these two special friends. Thank you, Judy and Christie.........

Happy Birthday Cameron
