I have been sick, but still crocheting and knitting.

I have had a serious sinus infection and it has really been getting me down. I went to bed at 6 last night. Woke a couple times in the night, but didn't get up till about 5 this morning. Everyone that knows me, knows I am a Vampire, as Don calls me. lol. I am NOT a MORNING person in the least. I did watch the race yesterday and also the Bronco game till it was evident that they were going to lose by tons, then I couldn't take the torture any longer. So, I changed it and watched a little bit of Discovery ID channel and then laid down. I can't get rid of the darn headache. But now that I gave my friend her blanket, it was a surprise, I can post the pictures of it here on my blog.

What I have been up to.

My first fingerless glove knit sweater for Dante, one of Donnie's friends had a baby boy This pattern is available on Lion Brand's website.

Teddy Bear Parade Blanket for a friend---- From Favorites in Filet by Annie's Attic

Going to use a fall color, as all the leaves are changing colors here in Colorado. I love it. So, can you tell I have been a busy bee? I also have to find more pics of some other things I have done. I try to keep busy, but missed the last race here in Erie as I was sick. 8-( Now I have to wait till next Spring for them to start up again. I did get to go and see Mark Chesnutt again last Friday. It was great. I got my pic of he and I from last year signed. He even sang my song "Almost Goodbye" So, I will have to add some of those photos when I get them uploaded.

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.
