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.
