Thank you, Son....

Thanks to my wonderful son I think I now can get my pictures from my phone to my PC.  He has helped me several times but I think this time it finally clicked as to what I am to do. (Forget about iTunes and go straight to photos. :) )  Well, I got them to the PC but they came over as little blocks and I can't see what they are until I try to upload them on here.  Drat.  Back to the drawing board.

The doggie above is my little mini dapple daschund.  She spends her day under my desk in her cozy little bed. She is a tad bit on the tubby side.  She scarfs down her food then goes grazing for the other 2 dogs and the 3 cats leftovers.  Poor baby, guess she and I need to start taking walks to thin her down a bit again.  She really is too heavy right now.  

 The two pictures above are some llama that I spun up.  It was fiber from pets that my kids had at one time.  When I finish I will have 2 BIG bobbins of it.  Not sure of the weight right now or the length.  When I put it on the niddy noddy I will count the strands and figure it out.  It is soooo soft. Depending on where you look at it it is between a sport and a worsted.  I am not totally consistent with my spinning just yet.

 These are a pair of fingerless mitts that I knit for a little friend of ours for Easter.  I'll be giving them to her this weekend when we see her.

 Socks made out of Sockotta in cotton, wool, and nylon.  Not crazy about them and the pic is really pretty lousy, but there you have it.  I made the toe bed too wide and I messed up a row (the stripe you see about 12 rows into the design).  I used the Decathlon Socks pattern.  An easy pattern to do but I was knitting them in dark brown in dark light and just messed it up  Decided it would be inside my shoe so not worth ripping back.  It will bug me forever now. lol

The fronts of the Cables and Lace Cardi.  It is all knit up now.  I blocked it last evening and am waiting for it to dry.  I'll probably be sewing it up on the road.  Oh, well.   

My beautiful little Coley.  Just playing with a dish scrubby that I just finished crocheting and he took off with. 

Mitts for another little friend.  They are sisters so the color is the same just different pattern and size.

Here We Go Again.....

Guess it is time to post something on here. I am sure no one even checks it any more but here goes nothing.

My last post I told of my beloved Saint Bernard passing. Later that same year I lost my beloved mother-in-law (still too raw to talk about, I loved her dearly) and acquired her mini doxey, Hannah. Hannah is a long haired dapple dachshund and has blue around one of her eyes, hince her name, Hannah Banana Blue. She is a sweetie. I kid that I went from a 165 pound Saint to a 25 pound mini doxey. What a difference. It was a difference that I really needed.

Hannah is a real lover and is my constant companion when I am home. I never thought I would love a doxey, but I do. She is my girl. She and Coley both vie for the prime spot on me which is on my chest so they can tuck their head under my chin. Really helps with the knitting. Haha.

I am about to embark on a new venture. A friend of mine had a yarn shop but it was rather far out in the country so I am going to take over the running of it and move it here to my place which is only about 2 miles out in the country. I had planned to open this past Monday, the 21st, but that just did not happen so I am GOING to open next Monday the 28th even if I only have two skeins of yarn in it. I need to get over to her house and pick up the shelves and get the rest of the yarn. I am running out of time to get things done.

At the present time I will not be online with the shop, just a brick and mortar shop. I hope to get it online at some time. For now I am just trying to get it all done here and open.

I plan to have classes and lessons available here. Tuesday night will be "knit" night but would more properly be called fiber night as we have ladies who knit, crotchet, quilt, spin, weave, and felt. So if you do any kind of portable needle work you are welcome to come on out.

That is about it for now. Hope to post again soon.
