Summer begins!

Summer begins for me with a feeling of freedom and time. This morning I woke up at 6:30, and after breakfast felt I could afford the time to knit a little bit while watching GMA. How pleasant! I am knitting on a blue and white baby sweater for my friend Rose's grandson-to-be. I think it's turning out nicely with 8 rows blue and 4 rows white. I'll have plenty of yarn for matching hat and booties too. I'm liking this pattern a lot. www.jimmybeanswool.com was where I found the free pattern. It calls for Lorna's Laces Worsted, which I'm sure would be beautiful but I'm using Plymouth Encore from my LYS YARNS in Salina, at half the price. I may try to use up some Red Heart stash for charity giving too. I think guage would be about right. Picture when I can get computer to recognize my camera....long story....

Mom sent back the Halloween vest so I'd have it for the fair. I need to start a nice dishcloth pattern too so I have one to enter. I think I have a Kansas Wheat pattern that would go with the yellow sugar and cream I have.

I'm Back

Haven't posted in like 5 months as I have been 1) incredibly busy with substitute teaching and the studio and 2) I got a new camera that drives me nuts and I have been so frustrated with it that I haven't posted any photo's.

The Halloween vest is done! Yay hooray!
