Creative blog titles are alluding me today....
My new found love of knitting has seriously impinged on my stitching time lately. I am sure it will balance back out eventually.
I have discovered that collecting yarn and knitting paraphernalia is just as much fun as stashing stitching stuff.
I have made a few rookie projects. (Don't look too closely... they are definitely beginner projects and have mistakes).
My first knitting class project was a shortrow watch cap. I actually made two but the first one was quickly adopted by Jake and seems to have disappeared.... It looks just like this one except it is orange.
A dishcloth for my aunt in Texas who celebrates a birthday tomorrow....
A pom pom scarf with a fun yarn called Pomp a Doodle. This knits up very fast...
And a Wedding Washcloth and a Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth...
My next project for my knitting class is another shortrow watch cap except this one will have a cabled brim. I have started it and ripped it out about five times so far. I do fine with the cables, but seem to get in a hurry in the other parts of it and end up messing up.
My next goal is to learn to knit socks and to make a felted bag. I am loving knitting, I tell ya. :)
I have done some stitching. Right now, I am working on the BBD Anniversaries of the Heart piece. I am on the third one (can't think of the name right now...). I decided to suck it up and do the counting between the second and third design. I counted a dozen times. I hope I have done it correctly....
I am thinking I might start LHN's Simple Joys after this. I have it kitted and ready to go.
Here are some of my favorite flowers in my yard that are in bloom. My husband Michael is the green thumb of the family. If it were left to me, we would be lucky to have grass growing in the yard.
Black Eyed Susans and Coneflowers...
Stargazer Lillies (probably my most favorite flower....)
Scout enjoying the shady front porch...
That's it for today....
Have a good one. :)
