Grandson photo, couldn't resist!


This is me & my 5 year old grandson Ty. He's such a sweetie!!

Final item for this time!


A red t-top, just what I needed! This one was done in a Knitting Pure & Simple pattern that I've used many times for my sweater classes. I knitted it out of Queensland yarn, an acrylic/cotton blend. It was really nice to work with & the sweater turned out beautifully! Click on the photo & you can see it has some little blips of color that look like fuzz, they are all different colors, which makes the sweater quite unique I think!

Another t-top!



This little sweater is an Elsebeth Lavold design in her yarn "hempathy" which is hemp! It is so lightweight, it weighs next to nothing & was a dream to work with. It was done on size 4 needles & I thought I was never going to finish it, but I am so happy with this & get alot of compliments on it whenever I wear it. The color is also fantastic! I would definitely use this yarn again.

OK, a very long hiatus from posts, I know!


I have not posted since I finished knitting the shawl. It's not that I haven't knitted anything, just haven't posted. Well, I did sorta take off some knitting time over the summer. I was busy with selling Mary Kay cosmetics. Now I've gotten the knitting bug again & want to update with some items. This pretty lace t-top is done with an old pattern I've loved for years, in a cotton/acrylic from my yarn stash. I started it up at my mom's in May, just finished it late September. As I said, I didn't knit much over the summer! The fit is fantastic on this, it's a nice dressier t-top & I love it!
