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.
Also I started to make the buttons for my pillow and that will be another project done.
I have a few lace shawl patterns which I want to start next. I also must work on my socks.
I also won a book called Cowlgirls by Cathy Carron at Shear Bagatelle blog and there are a few cowls in there I want and need to make. Sounds like the cold weather is leaving and we are going to have a nice weekend. PS about time. Take care see you soon nannyjean

The morning glorys really did good this year but last week they were over because of the dry weather we were having so I had to take them down but next year they will be back in full force since they seed them self. The dahlias are still doing good as long as it doesn't frost.
Since the railing was bear now then I got another job to do Paint the railing which I did the next day. Now the floor is next when the weather is right to do that.
I must make bottons for my pillow and then it is done. The color is really for fall My eyelet hat is coming along too I am on the ribbing and have about 2 inches done and need 6 inches more. As for my socks i am ready to start the foot so all I need is time and maybe tomorrow while I am watching football I will get some knitting done.
Going to Allisons on Monday for Knit In and will get some Knitting done then. It will be a nice drive to see the changing of the leaves now . Take care Jean

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.
We are having our Guild workshop in October and we have to do some homework for it.I just got my yarn ready today to start the famous swatchs. I think we are going to have a good time and learn a lot. We did'nt have Knit In today because of the holiday and it just seems something is missing today.
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. Hope to see you all next week.

A few new projects

I been a little busy and not blogging too much lately but hope to do better. Started a new Eyelet Hat for my granddaughter for Winter also a Baby Blanket for a neighbors granddaughter who is expecting a baby. I am going to trying to do a pair of socks at one time. I put them on a circular needles. I hope it works. I will try anything ONCE But I must also finish my pillow which was interesting and fun to do and I will take a picture when it is finished. Because we all used different yarns they turned out different and very colorful. Allison your idea was a good project for the guild and everybody enjoyed doing it
We all had a nice KNIT IN on Monday at Janice's Sun Porch and the weather was great" perfect"weather for relaxing and enjoying each others company and ideas. We do get some knitting done too and also have time to have a little lunch which we all enjoy.
We are looking forward to and planning for our workshop with Melissa Leapman which will be held Oct 16 2010. More later .

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.
