Bad Knitter--BAD...not posting for months. Well now I've been working on many socks, my Apres Surf Hoodie, & a little ditty here & there. Awaiting pix. They're a comming. Stay tuned

Mohair Shawl

Here's a shot of my mohair lace
shawl that I made recently.

Stef's new hat.

Here's my sweet Stephanie modeling my latest beanie using a Cascade varigated wool! How cute!

Amy's Graduation

I normally don't go into details about the family much on this blog cuz it's meant for knitting, but I just couldn't resist posting a blurb about my daughter, Amy, who just graduated last week Magna Cum Laude from Emerson College in Boston, MA with a B.S. degree in Marketing & Communication specializing in Advertising. We're all so proud of her! Now we have our fingers crossed that she lands a job!! One of her graduation presents was to see a Red Sox game, and that we did! Another fun experience crossed off of that "Things To Do" list. LOL.

Yikes!! It's been literally months since I've posted last. My only excuse is being preoccupied with my back issue & all the legal issues surrounding it. I haven't stopped knitting either. I just finished 2 baby sweaters for Marie (longtime girlfriend from St. Luke's - her handsome bro is expecting his first baby girl in a few months). Pix to come (my cameras out of batteries).

Also, we just finished Wildwood for the twirlers. Unfortunately, Central Mountain kicked our butts (first time in 15 years that our girls didn't hold the championship. Stef did win the Most Outstanding Twirler Award. I did get a chance to get to the Alpaca Farm in Cape May, NJ while I was there....love that place.

Additionally, we just returned from Boston after attending Amy's (my oldest) graduation from Emerson College (Magna Cum Laude). Our truck got towed while we were unloading stuff into her apartment, then the truck died the night before graduation and it cost $1,000 to fix. We made it home, luckily, & it died again completely!! Not a fun time in Boston, but Amy has graduated & does have a job interview in NYC next Friday for a huge advertising company. GO AMZ!! Kick butt!!

At any rate, pix are a-comin'. I've also been working on my Mom & Dad's throw, sox, scarves, & I have a request for a shrug & a puppy outfit! So, I'm a busy bee. I'll post again soon, I promise!

Cascade Aran Cable hat

Here's my current creation, the Cascade Cable hat using Aran varigated wool. It's pretty, but a little scratchy. I should've used it to felt with, I'd bet it'd turn out beautiful. Anyhow, I need a hat, & these colors will go with both my winter coats. I'll be moving on to finish my Mom's sweater using Kraemer's Summit Hill. Knit On!!

Jasper Finglerless MItten

Here're a couple pix of my newly finished fingerless gloves using Berroco's Jasper from the book "The Knitter's Bible - Knitted Accessories." They're super, warm, soft, & fluffy, although the pattern was written a bit tricky. I even had to seek out a bit of professional advice from Pat @ Knitwitz, but she got me on track, & here they are!!
