The Skirt

The skirt:

yarn has been bought -- Hempathy by elsebeth lavold in celery/sagey green and natural
gauge swatch has been done (it is a skirt) -- #4 needles won
first part of lace pattern has been started -- slow going but easily memorized pattern

I'll try to take a picture of what I've got so far sometime this week. I'll also try to take pictures of the hats (this and this) I've finished and the mittens (just need thumbs) and whatever else I've finished and haven't shown you all yet!

New Year, New Picture for Dogs on Thursday

I think this shows Ella's grey muzzle really well!
Took with my new camera two days after Christmas (see date stamp).

Oh, and I decided to start something new--
this skirt!

I still like all the others I listed before, and will probably get to them some time (at least I hope so!).
Happy Knitting and Happy Dogs on Thursday!

A New Year!

Thanks to all who wished me a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and are having a great New Year! The kids went back to school yesterday after their two week break! I think we were all ready for them to go back!
I took a couple of weeks off from blogging just because I needed the break. I didn't even check my e-mail until now!
I have been knitting. Still working on my mittens! And some snowflakes from a pattern book my aunt sent me, for the LittleOne's class (they study snowflakes this month). I made my Hubby a helmet liner in blue on a road trip to Sedona! (will post pictures once I figure out how to upload them from my new camera!).
Now, I'm trying to figure out what to knit next. Here's what I'm deciding on:


  1. The spiral lace hoodie from the latest edition of knit.1
  2. The flirty skirty pattern I found on Ravelry
  3. The garter yoke cardigan from the latest edition of knit.1
  4. The mud flap girl tank
  5. And several various hats that I've taken a shine to

I'm leaning towards the tank, hoodie, and some of the hats! In the end, I'll probably try to knit them all! Such is the life of a knitter! As always, way too much to knit but too little time to get it all done (and there's always something new to tempt)!
