Charity Blanket

Well, I have finally finished the blanket and a few other things. Trixie needs to be in all pictures she thinks. So, she of course is trying out the blanket to let everyone know it is soft and comfy.

There are also some of my cloths I have been doing as well.

It's September already!!!!!

hello again. I have joined a test pattern group on Ravelry. I have tested a knit cardigan, a skirt, and now I am testing a dress. It is taking awhile for the dress. I will show pics of what I have been doing. I also made a sweater vest from Suzie's blog pattern. The star is a dishcloth, the burgundy is the beginning of the test dress. They skirt is available on Ravelry. Will post more when I do more of the dress. I am on row 25 now. I have to have it finished by the end of the month, and I also need to make a blanket that someone requested and sent me the yarn for. I will work on that this month too.

More stuff.

How is everyone doing? I have been bummed out for the last couple weeks, my tv quit on me. Yes, I have been mad. It is a newer tv, and shouldn't break on me. So, I have been doing alot of things, but sleeping alot too. It has been so freaking hot, I was beginning to think I lived in AZ and not CO. But hopefully fall will kick in soon, not the snow of winter, just the coolness of fall. I love the leaves changing colors. Adding some pics of stuff I have been working on and doing. I have lots of plans for stuff. Just a matter of getting them all figured out and done.

New things on the horizon

I tested a pattern for the Swing Cardigan. I like the way it came out. I am also testing a shawl/stole pattern for a new designer. It is so pretty. I am on the second half now. I will be finishing the 2nd half and then starting the edging soon, this is what it will look like when done, except mine is done in crimson. The pattern is wonderful and beautiful. here is the link to the designer's blog site.

From there you can get the link to the Ravelry pattern. Try it. It is kind of a pattern you need to pay attention to at first, but once you get into the second pattern repeat it gets much much easier to fly thru.

here's what mine looks like so far. will post more pics when I am done.

Test pattern for girl's cardigan

I am doing a test pattern for a lady on Ravelry. I have the cardigan all finished except for sewing the pockets on. I need to get some straight pins to do it. Here are some pictures. I will put a link to the cardigan once the designer has put it up for sale.

I worked it in Colonial Blue Vanna's Choice yarn and it is knit. Once I get the pockets on, I will be sending to my niece Elena.

Cal Doily

This is before I weaved the ends in, I am trying to download the other pics. Just not co-operating with me. Will have to add them later.

I have been working on a few things. I will add pics. I did a CAL in one group I am in and it was a pineapple doily. You may like it. For some reason, I lost the blue thread I was using, so I did the border in pink. I think it looks good. I am in the process of making a hoodie again. this one is for my older niece. So, when finished it will be an adult size. She wants me to add a pocket on the front, so we will see. lol.

Today marks the anniversary of Don and my first date to go and see Travis Tritt at the Greeley Stampede. Oh what a fun day that was. I drove all the way from San Antonio to meet Don and go see my Travis Tritt. We have seen Travis a few more times since then, but not in a few years. He needs to come back to Colorado soon. I am having major withdrawals.

Not been doing much. Too hot

Hello. I haven't been doing much. But I will add a few pics. the blanket is blue baby bernat boucle yarn and very soft. It is for a friend who will have a grandson really soon. The dolphin cloths are knit from a pattern off of Ravelry. The doilies, one is yarn and the other in thread are the "I love you" pattern from a Crochet magazine.
