To Show You Size

Wanted to show you just how small and cute these little felted clogs are. This is Brooke modeling them for the blog in the 5 seconds before she headed out to school!

A Great Day

Me and Sandra Lee -- of Semi-homemade fame!

She was signing in Ohio today - so a friend and I went to see her.

It was great fun - she was funny and nice -- what a perfect day!

OH and I finished project # 32!

a pair of felted clogs -- tiny ones

The left is the finished knitted clog - the right is the other one after going through a hot

agitated bath in my washer.

I made one last night and one tonight. They were so fun.

Oh and the wool was free from a friend.

Now I am going to felt the other one and tuck them away for a

Christmas gift for a small girl, and get started on another pair!

What My Knitting Day Looks Like

Here is Lyn teaching Sam a cast on (I think).

Here are the gals and I headed down the block to Keltie's for lunch.

This is Pam - she always greets us at the resturant with a smile!

Here we are ready to eat Keltie's good food.

Left to right it is Cheryl, Rosanna, Jill and I.

This is what my knitting day on most Tuesday looks like!

Lots Going On - No Pictures

Sorry for no posts lately. Just regular old life for a Mom of 3 kids stuff going on. Wrestling season is under way. Yes the meets are long - but I like watching the kids and usually can get lots of knitting in during them. Our first meet is Saturday and I am planning what I need to take knitting wise to keep me happy.

Weather here has gone from balmy the first week of Nov. to down right cold this week. I believe winter has set in.

I will snap some blog photos today - so that I can share tomorrow.

Isn't She Cute!

Here is Miss Claire in her new hat.

She and her Nana came to storytime - so I gave her the cute

new hat. She really liked it and wore it all around the store.

And Another....

...pink hat! Miss Claire will like this - she is almost 2 - I hope to give it to her tomorrow.

This is finished project 31!

yeah

And if you look closely you project #31 is atop my current in progress project #32. It is a moss stitch scarf out of charcoal grey alpaca (do you know that I have a 'thing' for alpaca?). It will be a nice Christmas gift for a nice family member.

I am busy knitting -- especially now that winter weather has arrived in the Midwest -- man do I wish our fireplace was working. We need to get it all redone on the inside (it has cracks in the back wall) so now fires in it til that is done -- probably in the spring - bummer.

Internet Was Down - So Two Finished Projects

Here is a cute little girl hat -- think my 5 year old niece will like it.

Of course yesterday and today it is 75 degrees out there - so no hat needed.

And you don't need these (what we call) Muffeties - thanks to

Conner Prairie.

Brooke loves them -- you can call them wrist warmers,

I used 2 colors on both projects out of necessity - not enough of the main color to finish the projects. So I'm saying I used up leftover yarn from my stash!

YEAH!!
So these are # 29 and #30
-- hey 40 may not be so far away!
