I have been trying to get this cardigan finished but throw a trip to Kansas in there and a couple of busy weekends besides the pneumonia, and you have slow progress!
I have been working on it though and all that is left is to pick up the stitches up the fronts and neck and create that awesome looking band. This has been a fun knit but it looks a little wonky to me but the Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-32443435821795296882014-03-20T11:47:00.004-06:002014-03-20T11:47:49.790-06:00A Day Late Yarn Along
I'm a day late posting my progress on Blue Honey.
It's coming along nicely. I wish the edges didn't roll so bad while knitting so progress could be seen better but I'm at least half way there then I get to Block!!! Can't wait!
On the reading front. I'm sticking with my Knitting Cozy Mysteries of course. I'm reading A Deadly Yarn by Maggie Sefton Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-19486646969864111152014-03-05T08:10:00.002-07:002014-03-05T08:13:56.782-07:00Yarn Along March 5Participating in Ginny's Yarn Along: Books and Knitting!!
Hopefully this won't be my only Yarn Along post for March.
I've put my Lady Marple sweater to the side after going to my local yarn store (actually not so local, it's 35 miles away) and finding the most beautiful Malabrigo yarn! There was a sample knit of a long sleeved Blue Honey. I fell in love with it!!!!
So, I bought the Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-47975118593463395182014-02-12T08:10:00.003-07:002014-02-12T08:10:34.365-07:00Yarn Along This Week
Join the Yarn Along over at Small Things!
I've started a new sweater and am finishing up a pair of fingerless gloves. I've also been reading a cute cozy mystery "Died In The Wool" by Mary Kruger. I love a simple read especially when I'm concentrating more on my knitting.
The sweater pattern is Lady Marple by Nadia Crétin-Léchenn.
And the fingerless gloves are really just my versionMarilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-26315440426409402022014-02-11T16:07:00.000-07:002014-02-11T16:08:21.226-07:00It's been awhile.....since I've posted.
My knitting is usually the priority and yet I'm not sharing much of it on here. And not very often. I hope to do better in the future but no promises.
My current projects have included another pair of Monkey's (the best sock pattern in the world), several pairs of fingerless gloves and I've just begun a sweater.

It seems like I've really been in the mood to knit lately. I finished both sweater for my granddaughters.
Top sweater is actually a shrug style for Avery and the bottom one is a waist length for Emma. They fit them so perfectly. I can't wait to deliver them this coming weekend!!!

I love participating in Ginny's Yarn Along!
I've been knitting all week! My dishwasher went out and my hubs and I decided not to get one for awhile. It's not like I don't know how to do dishes or anything after 37 years of marriage and two children and two grandchildren. I actually prefer to do dishes sometimes. It brings back memories of my childhood which Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-3028202650155673742012-12-05T07:46:00.004-07:002012-12-05T07:46:43.852-07:00Yarn AlongI love participating in the Yarn Along but I haven't done so in such a long time but today I change that! Good to be back! Thanks, Ginny, for such a great opportunity to share projects.
I'm still working on the little sweaters for my granddaughters and the cable socks I started so long ago.
In the meantime am actually finding some time to read Super Immunity Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614320545991610275.post-32299662152024297922012-12-04T10:18:00.003-07:002012-12-04T10:18:52.359-07:00Some Knitting for the WinterI've been trying to finish some projects started last Winter/Spring.
I did finish the "green" sweater that I wasn't sure about because of the yarn but I do have to say it turned out great. I had made it for myself but my sweet daughter is a 'green' fan so I couldn't resist just giving it to her.
This was such an easy pattern and a joy to knit (just not in the Summer, too hot).

It's all ready to go with just a few tweaks here and there still needed. I can't believe how beautiful our weather has been so we've been spending every evening on the porch enjoying the hummingbirds and little house finches while away the hours with flutters and song!

The pattern is Serpentine from "Socks from the Toe Up" by Wendy D. Johnson. Loved the yarn which was a discontinued Sanguine Gryphon Kypria colorway: Leda. I loved working with this yarn and wearing the socks. So comfy.
