Boo!

Happy Halloween. Got these scarves finished for the Christmas pile. I love this chunky yarn. It
goes so fast!
 

Happy Birthday Susan!

For my friend Susan's birthday. A cake without the calories! Only lots of Sugar n Cream...

Christmas Cuties!

Could these be any cuter?

Christmas is coming people

I'm working hard at my Christmas presents. Have you begun? I wasn't too happy with the colors of this. I was hoping for a "red, white and blue" theme. The blue I chose was Navy but it was so dark, it looks like black. :-(

Baaaa

I arrived home today to find this! A super cute bookmark from Michelle. I can't wait to put it in my book that I am reading (Harry Potter 6 - I know, I know - I'm a little behind). THANKS Michelle. 

Projects and Works...

This is my new sweater project. Hmmm... doesn't look like much yet but ... if you look here, you will see that it will become something very pretty (let's hope). It's the sweater on the cover of the November 2006 Creative Knitting magazine.
Here are a few Mason Dixon dishcloths that I finished while on vacation. I finished two other items but they are Christmas presents and can't be shown on the blog. 

Long Overdue...

Package arrives from Singapore! Oh my.
Wonderful goodies inside including earrings, beads, two small purses, stuff to make green tea ice cream (yummie) and some very special yarn (see below).


All - I know that this is long overdue. This is the final package that I received from my secret pal. With things so crazy and our trip to Mexico, I was not able to post the wonderful things that Kessa sent to me. She is from Singapore and the most beautiful thing shown above is some yarn that she HAND DYED herself. WOW. I can't wait to figure out what I am going to make with that. I know that it will be something special just for me! 

Knitting in Mexico!

Does it get any better? Knitting in the pool. 

Vindicated.....

I just can't talk about it....

OMG... how did this happen?? My first sweater attempt. Look at it! I read the directions and thought that it was going well... "Dec 1 st at each end of the next 5 rows, then on every foll alt row until 10 sts rem". I assumed it was decrease one every other row. Well.... this is what I got.
