The Cassidy sweater is coming along. Fronts and backs are done. Onto the dreaded sleeve.

It doesn't make sense, I love to knit but hate doing the sleeves. The pattern called for them knit flat but I'm doing them in the round on two circulars. No seams. Yeah!


Found a pattern for a Head Heel scarf hat thingy. Think that may suit me better than an actual hat. Ordered, yes ordered, more yarn for it and am impatiently waiting for its arrival. It is Malabrigo worsted weight. Will post a picture when it arrives.


Stash, yes I have stash. Let's see, there's enough for a red sweater, a denim blue one, another rust one (I have tons of rust) and I think a green one.

Plus there's enough for 2 laceweight shawls, 3 pairs of socks, about 5 pair of mittens, 2 baby sweaters and miscellaneous odds and ends.

Is it enough? NEVER

Oh, the agony. This is my favorite hat.

Yep, it was Maxed. I am defeated.

We have a new knitter.Christel (love the spelling) is winding yarn for her first sweater.


Oops, the ball winder ate something.
Must appease the yarn goddess.

My beautiful Buster passed away last week. Thankfully she went peacefully in her sleep. She was 18 and such a sweet personality. Always wanted to be hugged and kissed.
She is greatly missed.

It's been a long time since I posted. Days fly by quickly.

Trish is working diligently on Les' sweater. It is a bottom up with a fairisle yoke done in her own alpacas. We had Les try it on for size, she made one last year and it didn't fit him. But she shrunk it for herself.



Here is a photo of the alpacas:
