The Devil made me do it, honest!

Well, lookie here....and I just couldn't wait to test drive this new yarn and "bee" pattern. I love the shading in the wool, from http://www.woolywonkafibers.com/. I just had to wind it off and dig in....Lovely pattern and lovely wool..more to come.

What would you do?

Well, knitters, I was waiting for my "Bee" stuff and started on a sock from "Socks Two" and almost had one sock done !!! Aaaak. Now what do I do?

This book can be purchased at http://www.amazon.com/ and has some really wonderful sock patterns to try.

However, my "Bee" stuff arrived and the patterns are just wonderful and the wool is to "dye" for. Very upscale and I can't wait to wind it up! Think I'd better finish the other sock before I begin these???? I'm still not done with my "Shetland" yet....what to do????

It's finally finished....

Well, it is done, really, really, done! This shawl was a joy to work on. The pattern was very easy to work with and I found nothing amiss. Thank you, http://www.knitspot.com/ for your wonderful shawl! I'm looking forward to more of the same wonderful patterns. This shawl was done with a size 6 needle from http://www.knitpicks.com/ and Zepher yarn on a cone. I think I have enough to make another one!!!! I'm happily awaiting my "Bee Shawl" pattern and "Bee Stole" with very yummy yarns from http://www.woolywonkafibers.com/ especially dyed for these projects.

Ready for the finish...Corona pattern, here I come!

Well, knitters, I'm excited now. I've reached the "Corona" border and 17 rows to go and then block the little darling....This shawl has been a real treat and I can't wait to see it completed. Yippee. Was informed today that my bee shawl/stole is on it's way via the post. I'm hoping I can finish this one up before I start something new. It's going to be "buzzing" here soon. More to come.

I'm still morphing.....

Well, I'm still "morphing".....and it's been a great trip! I've finished the first section of the Morph and ready to begin the second adventure. I love how the Zepher feels...More to come on this. I recently ordered the Bee Shawl and the Bee wrap. More to come about this.... Happy knitting.

It's time to morph!

Well, knitters, I left my "Shetland Isles" for a while. I did get up to another section and it's going great! However, I found this shawl (pictured) that I just about went nuts for, called "Wing-o-the-Moth" and it's a humdinger! I used size 6 needle and Zepher yarn and the directions you can order from are at www.patterns@knitspot.com , check out her great blog! I'm almost at the second section before I put on the border. It was a lovely read. The pattern is very friendly, thus far. I have my fingers crossed that I can do the next set. The first set is called fir cone and the next one coming up is a twin leaf pattern. If I run into trouble I think I may just continue with the fir cone pattern until I need to do the border, which is the kicker. How lovely is the Corona pattern? You can refer to this pattern in Barbara Walker's knitting book. I also ordered the "Bee" shawl pattern and the "Lacy Shawl" pattern which I will write about when I receive both these patterns. These are knock-out shawls as well. Happy knitting.

Well, knitters, it has taken me quite a while to get to this point. Only two more sections to go. From that point, who knows? I did notice that when I kept switching from bamboo needles to Knitpick's circular needles there was definately a difference. So now I'm staying with the bamboo straights at the moment. However, I'd really like to see this shawl in Knitpick's alpaca, so I'll need to purchase some more wool. I need to make three more of these by Christmas! I should have all the bugs worked out by then, don't 'cha think? I'm not that good at this, but I'm trying.....Explore http://www.knitpicks.com/ for some wonderful wool and bargains.

I also recently purchased "Artic Lace," by Donna Druchunas from http://www.schoolhousepress/ and found a wonderful way the Alaskan knitters block their shawls....using a cardboard blocking board!!! How neat is that? So down to http://www.joanns.com/ to buy one. This is so cool for blocking rectangles!! Well, I'm going to keep at this; who knows I may make my deadline! Happy knitting.
