Yarny works...

All,

As promised!! A couple of the projects I've been working on...

A baby sweater for Mimi..making it out of Cupcake yarn in Pink Lemonade from Lion Brand






Then another pink sweater I crocheted in a dusty pink for one of the girls at work...Just have to sew in the label and a couple of snaps.

Then a sweater I knit for myself (it only took me all summer!) yarn is Rowan Tapestry. Unfortunately I started it before Weight Watchers so it is way big...I lost 25 pounds Wohooo...I didn't take that into consideration when I was working on the darn thing. It is big, but I will wear it in the winter...I don't want to pull it out.

Here is my new knitting bag...love it! it has lots of room for projects and needles...
Of course no entry is complete without a shot of Mimi...yep..those are her first two teeth..too adorable!

Well that is all for now...It is nice and sunny out so I think I am going to make a warp for the loom....some tsumagi silk is calling my name!

Next time...I'll share a bit of info on a knitting group I've joined...

Enjoy the great weather!

Hugs

Marie

Weaving project in the sun

Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie

Thoughts of family

Here is a picture of Princess S at her 1st Birthday. The lovely auntie holding her is my sister the Artist. The Artist and I have a lot in common. We both love museums, traveling, and exploring the city. We are peas in the pod. My other sisters are terrific as is my brother, Dad to Princess S. We are a pretty tight group. My mom taught me how to crochet when I was a tiny thing...I think she taught me so I would stay out of her hair for a while...poor mom! Mom was a master at creating Halloween costumes out of ordinary things. No plastic masks for us. I remember being a gypsy, a country singer, a 50s style girl and my favorite a flamenco dancer. In the summer we spent a lot of time in the library and the zoo. We spent so much time at the Bklyn. Botanical Gardens we knew the security guards by name. The Brooklyn Museum was our home away from home. So many great memories. With that Happy Mother's day to all of you out there. Spend time with your children and give them...
