Off Playing in Ravelry.com

If anybody's out there....

Thank you Redhat Knitter for showing me Ravelry.com (link in right column). On the 1st I received my invitation to join and I have been having sooooo much fun over there. If you knit, crochet, spin, etc. this is a place you have to get hooked up with! And if you are an avid blogger, it doesn't take the place of your blog, but it will connect to it. The downside...

IT IS ADDICTING!

So, because of my new addiction, I have most of my FO (knitter's lingo for finished objects) photographed. So here are few more of the stuff I have been doing. Remember, knitting helps me keep my sanity. With out it I become:

Mr. G (below left) wanted me to knit him something and he picked this pattern out himself from some books I had laying around. It was easy to knit, but 1) I don't like the yarn & 2) I never want to have to put a zipper on a knit again! UGH!

MAM (above right) thought a custom hoodie was her hearts desire. Above is a Wallaby Sweater. I was nervous to take this on, but the pattern is really well written. With the help of a few knitting buddies, it was a breeze. She says it is comfy.

Good Night!

Lazy Saturday

Isn't it nice when a Saturday comes along and you don't really have anything pressing to do? That is how today felt. The whole family just 'vegged'. Ok, I guess my kids and dh were a little active - they went rollerblading. Dh felt pretty out of shape when he came home. My ds runs in the house and tells me to be nice to him, he had a tough time - kids! We even had time this evening to learn a new game called Dutch Blitz. It was fun and could be played by all (8yo &up).

Some of the relaxing could have been
some blues - Jaz leaves tomorrow, but
I think everyone knows that this is
truly best for her. During my down time,
I continued work on my Wallaby
sweater. I have the arms complete.
Yesterday morning I created the pouch and last night I was able to attach it at the top. I have learned that knitting for big folks take alot more time -not just yarn.
Hope it will be worn!
Good night. Deb
