Eyelet Hats

Hi, Everybody hope you all had a nice Christmas and are getting ready for a Happy New Year. Its hard to believe another year has passed so quickly. Have you ever thought of how many projects you got done in the pass year and how many you are planning on doing this year ? Think about it sometime.! ! That would be interesting to take a poll sometime. I am working on fingerless gloves and a few different cowls now for the rest of the winter. With another snow storm coming I guess we will all get a lot of Knitting done again. These are my hats I did for Christmas Presents. Now I have a request for a Afghan from my granddaughter because she outgrow her other one. So there is a project to start the new year out and many more to follow I"m sure ! ! Happy New Year nannyjean

Still Booming

I finally got my computer up and running which meant a new one which my son hooked up over the weekend.This picture was taken Thanksgiving weekend and is covered with snow now but still blooming. Since the weather has been bad I got a few new projects going like 2 pair of socks, a pair of fingerless gloves and a skull hat for a boy and a baby blanklet. We do get a lot of knitting done when we can't run right ! ! plus it is time to get the baking done for Christmas. I baked my FruitCakes last week plus dropped raison and nut cookies and going to do Sandtarts tomorrow. We are getting another storm this week so that means a lot more happy KNITTING.

Yarn Cupcakes

I haven't blogged for about a month because my Computer has been down off and on. My granddaughter made these cupcakes for our Workshop that we had in October from 9 to 5 with Melissa Leapman. She taught Celtic Cables which was very interesting and enjoyed by all. Some of the ladies got her new book Continuous Cables. She had a lot of sweaters with her cables and she modeled them all.We had a group of 30 plus attending the 2 classes , one in the morning and one in the afternoon . With a light lunch at noon. Everybody had a enjoyable day of knitting and learning and visiting with friends. I also think Melissa had a good time as well especialy when Tammy and the girls had the aution. Fun for all.

A little up date

I just wanted to get a little up date on our workshop which we are having on Oct 16 2010 at the Laruel Arts in the Georigan Mall with Melissa Leapman. Jancis and Allison are on top of everything and I am sure we all will have a good time. We have a nice sign up list of 30 plus. Has everybody did their Homework ? ? I am still working on mine. We also have Knitting Guild next Thur at 6;30 .
My eyelet hat for Andrea is coming along great I only need less then 2 inches of ribbing. She will be home this long weekend and maybe It will be done for her to take back to school.

My Barrel

They keep on blooming but a little rain would help. That is one plant in the barrel a vining petunia. This morning when I went to get my morning paper a rabbit was sitting in one of my baskets eating my yellow Daisy's. I didn't sit them up last night on my glider.

Today was Knit In at my house and it was a nice sunny day.Everybody had their projects to work on and chat about the latest yarn that they saw and got to add to there stash. We also talked about knitting with beads and want to start a Bead Project.

Which means a field trip to Pittsburgh to some yarn shops. We are working on our homework for the Workshop coming up in Oct 16 which sounds interesting. When the ladies left I had to show them my dahlias and my mums. My flowers really all did good this year.

My Pride and joy

My dahlias are so pretty and big again this year of course the morning glorys are in there too. There is just something about flowers in the summer time. Enjoy them now because you know what is coming around the corner.
Been working on my pillow all I have to do is make my buttons and put then on. Started another Eyelet Hat for my granddaugther ready to start the band knit 2 purl 2 for about 8 inches.

Hope you all had a nice Holiday

My felted knitting bag

Just thought I would have to finally take a picture of my Knitting Bag which I use all the time. I just love it. I guess you can tell my favorite colors

Our Knit In on Monday was in Shanksville at Wendys House. And it was a nice day to sit outside and knit on her porch or in the sun in her yard. We had 12 ladies there and also a little one( a granddaugther) of one of the ladies. Of course Wendy had a nice little lunch for everybody and then back to knitting and checking what everybody was working on and solving some problems we were having like me and my socks right Janice but that is the nice thing about our Knit In's there is always somebody there to help.

Traveling Woman

Its been a while since I blogged but I was under the weather a little bit. I guess it was a bug. Or maybe because of too many picnics over a long weekend. I finished my shawl The Traveling Woman and now I must block it tomorrow. I put a crochet edge on it all around which set it off. I also have been working on my Pillow plus also my socks. I finished a helmet liner and a kemo hat. Just trying to caugth up on a lot of unfinished projects. So I can start a few new Patterns I have my eye on .

Our Knit In group went to see the alpacas at a local farm . They have two mamas ,a year old female and two babies. They were very friendly because the family have 2 girls ages 5&7 who play with them all the time.

Hope everybody is enjoying the nice weather finally.

Meet Saucy Sam

Meet Saucy Sam which some of the ladies are making as some of their other projects. We use Peaches and Creme yarn and I used color Fiesta (mexcian) on the one on the right side. I used sock yarn on the middle one. I like the Peaches and Creme better. Some of the ladies made dishcloths to match. Which makes nice little gifts. The bottles are Red Hot sauce. Just another way to use your left over yarn. Have a nice day

Knit In today

We had our Knit In at Allison's today and sat on her screened in porch which was a real treat. It was so relaxing with the birds flying in for their treats and waiting for her friend to show up a (squirel) who enjoys the treats too and her backyard is full of flowers and her ponds with the water lillies.
Everybody had their present project with them and was working on it while we was all chatting about different ideas to do. And we decided on a Field trip which always is fun. That means we need some more Yarn for our stash.
And then we had our snack which was the best part of the day. Allison always come through with something different and good.
I think we all had a good time because 2 oclock came before we knew it.
Thanks Allison.

Rainy day

What kind of weather are we having lately ? A beautiful day yesterday to mow the grass and clean out the flower beds and just be outside then today it rained all day a good rainy rainy day to knit and knit to get caught up on some projects waiting in the baskets.
We had a nice Knit In at Jugutis with 10 Ladies this week on Monday, Some was working on the f irst lesson for the pillow because we get the the second lesson on Thursday night at Guild Meeting. I think it is a fun project to do and the different yarns are really showing up so nicely.

I got my garden planted on monday with tomatoes peppers,squash and cucumbers and onions.
Also my flowers garden is in full bloom. I planted my baskets and put them out one day and that night the rabbits ate all the flowers off and all that was left was the stems. But now they are coming back because I put them on the porch at night . You win some and you lose some.
Hopefully I will have some pictures the next time.

Knit In

Just a little note about knit in today. Betty was the hostess today and seven ladies showed up to day. We are working on a Pillow Pattern as a group which is interesting. Five of the ladies was working on theirs today. We all have different yarn and colors and can't wait to see them when they are all done.

Also one of the ladies had a story to tell us about a baby deer that she discovered in her back yard while weeding her flowers

over the weekend and how the Mother came back for it later. She took pictures of it on her cell phone.

It was another relaxing day of Knitting and friendship.

HENNETTLA

I told you I had a picture. O.K. girls here is Hennettla a chicken and she lays eggs too.

What a nice day we had today and for a nice ride to the Amish greenhouses for my flowers today. One greenhouse had all flowers and they were really pretty and lots of them. and don't forget the vegetables too they were in another greenhouse. Everybody had the same Idea because they were really busy. Now the fun begins planting them but I like to do it and enjoy the results. I plant most of them in baskets and sit them on my porch and steps and sidewalks.

Hope everybody enjoyed the day and hope it is the same tomorrow.

Bad Weekend

Had to have the big snow blower come in and get rid of all the weeks snow again out of my driveway and this morning it was about the same again. I give up. I hope March comes in like a lion and goes out like a LAMB

I can't shake this bug I have had now for a week. not to much knitting getting done except I tore out my heel on my sock again. Second time maybe the third time I will get it right

I hope you all had a better weekend than me !

Have a good night ! !

This is my car in the driveway this morning and all that I could see was the windshield and the top. Also my door was snowed shut with about 5 ft of snow and I didn.t get it opened until about 3 oclock this afternoon when the man came to blow my driveway open. The only good thing today was I got a lot of knitting done. I worked on my hat and the yarn is so nice to work with. And guess what we are getting more snow tonight. I hope your night is better than ours.

Stay warm

Snow Bound

This is my living room window this morning . Snow up to the top. My car in the driveway was covered all I could see was the roof and windshield.

Close Up

Here is a close up of the Victorian Lace Shawl. It is really pretty and different. I haven't been doing much this week because I wasn't up to it and finally went to the Doctors yesterday to get something for my cough and head cold. I never had anything like this before what a bug! ! I am feeling better tonight .

I did cast on my Eyelet Cap Sat but thats all.

Maybe I will get some knitting done tomorrow because we are getting another 12 inches of snow between now and Sat morning. So when is it going to quite? ? Stay warm. Nanny Jean

Victorian Lace Shawl

It blocked out to 25 by 62 inches. It is a nice size for me. I used Rowan 4 ply soft yarn 100% merino wool. I got the flu bug over the weekend so I havn't got much knitting done until today. Now I must get busy on my socks . Also I started the Eyelet cap from Vogue Knitting Fall 2009 with ACERO wool and silk yarn which I got in Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet. Enjoy and stay warm.

Its Blocked

Its blocked my curved shawl and I am really satisfied because it was a very hard pattern for me until I got the hang of it. It is a pretty Pattern and The first time I saw it I wanted to do. Lace always turn out nice I think . And guess what ? we saw the SUN today but still cold and maybe the same tomorrow.But then another storm coming Sunday night with freezing rain and snow. Back to square 1. and maybe all week again. Sounds like a good knitting week for me. I am going to start my hat with the yarn I got in Pittsburgh. Maybe I will put some pictures up tomorrow. Have a good night.

Knitting Basket projects

Just wanted to show you a few of my knitting projects Baskets. As you can see I like Baskets The white one had the shawl in which I just put the border on. I have one for my socks and the other two have shawls in. I like to wear shawls in the summer if it ever gets here this year. We had another bad day of more snow and more coming tomorrow. So what can I say except I hope you had better weather than we did.

The Border is done ! !

I finished the border this afternoon of knitting because we are having another snow storm and blowing winds with 6 m0re inches of snow. The schools are closed again tomorrow.The name of my shawl is A curved shawl with diamond edging in the Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. I enjoy knitting Lace and her book is great. I also made her shoulder Shawl in cherry leaf pattern and it turned out real nice. Now I must block my curved shawl tomorrow. Hopefully I can take a picture and when my granddaughter comes up she can help me put it on the blog. I am just learning how to do that. So tomorrow I will put another Shawl on the needles. Summer is coming soon I hope and I like to wear Shawls.

Well What can I say enough is enough snow that is. We sure have had our share this year and getting real tired of it. But guess what we are getting another 3-5 inches as if 31 inches is not enough and it is only Feb 14 another 6 weeks until spring. So I guess we will grin and bare it. I had a nice trip yesterday.Ten of us girls from the Guild went to the 6 Annual Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival. Some of the girls took classes while the rest of us shopped.
They sure had a lot of yarn to pick from. They had over 50 booths of yarn ideas and every thing else to go with it. I think we all got our share of yarn for our next projects. I know I did. I got 4 sheins of yarn for 4 new projects . We had nice weather all day until we got about 10 miles from town and it started to snow and blow and they got a couple of inches to blow. But we are home and safe after a long day of fun. Hope everybody had a Happy Valentines Day.

Another one coming!

Will guess what more snow and now high winds coming.. So no school again tomorrow which I am sure suits a lot of the kids until when spring comes and they have to make up the missed days. They didn't get to me to blow my driveway until after 4. I couldn't get my front door open again until they came and removed about 12 inches of snow again. They say we are getting another 5 - 8 inches over night and it is light and will blow easy. I have never seen the snow piled this high since I lived here. Hope the weather brakes tomorrow Had a another good day of knitting to pass the time and work on a few of my baskets projects. I also mixed up some cookies to bake tomorrow . Have a good night !

More snow

We had a sunny Monday and a good time to go grocery shopping for another week of bad weather coming which I did. They are calling for another 12 inches and I don't know where they are going to put IT. They dismissed the schools 2 hrs early today and tomorrow a lot of them are closed. Another good day to get a lot of border done on my shawl. I also started a eyelet cap in Vogueknitting fall 2009. I am using merino wool on size 3 needles. You start at the crown on this one. I seen one done and it is different and cute. I am so glad I am a knitter to keep me busy to pass the time this winter. Hope your weather is better than ours.

Clean Up Time

What a snow storm and now it is time to dig out. We did get 31 inches total. The regular Hand snow blower came and cleaned out about 2/3 of my driveway and had no where to put the rest . That was Sat but on Sunday my son brought his tractor with a bigger blower on and really widen out my driveway. making more room for the next snow arriving Tuesday and wednesday. Isn't it soon spring time ? ? By then it was time for the football game to start and get to knitting some more of the border on my shawl while watching the game.and I did get a lot done. Maybe tomorrow I will finish it. And then the fun of blocking it. I would like to have it done by Thur for knitting guild. Hope the football game went the way you wanted it too. Have a good night ! !

Records broken !

We really got that storm and then some. All kinds of records where broken. The airports were shut down and the turnpike was tided up with 150 cars and trucks between two tolls gates and shut down over night. The snow was waist deep in my driveway this morning and my door had snow halfway up the door. I couldn't open it until someone shoveled it open. And it sounds like we are getting another storm Tuesday and Wednesday. So guess what I did all day ? I knit & knit.and got a lot done .Also we only had a few local TV stations Hopefully we get full cable tomorrow and it will be a better day. Hope you all had a better day . I am so glad I'm a Knitter.
