And so really I'm embarrassed to post my spoils from Shindig. Not because I bought an enormous amount! Because I choose to buy one color across three bases!!!! I guess I really loved it Here ...

Back to where we were last week! I was worried it would be short so I blocked it to see where we were. It is now perfect! So on to sleeve island! Now for packing!! I told Jess I wasn't ta...
So I did get Rye done and it is perfect! Here is an unblocked shot since I haven't done a photo shoot of it blocked;-) However, Birkin,although it would have been done will not be. I thoug...
I can't believe tomorrow will be two weeks to Shindig!!! I'm not mentally prepared! The house is upside down and I'm still getting back into the groove of kids in school! We are painting the ...
Rye is ready to join the sleeves in 4 rows:-) Birkin has a few more inches til I split for front and back but I'm definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!! And she did! ...
So here is Rye!!! So much fun to knit and I should be able to join the sleeves by the end of the week which would put me on track for finishing by Shindig. I'm not sure why I'm thinking that it...
I skipped a day because I was knitting!! Birkin is growing! I cannot sing the praises of Oxford enough! It is sheepy but soft and a heavier fingering weight which is my favorite weight! I'm ...
Yes! Goal met! Looks messy but two sleeves and half of the ribbing done:-) And... Birkin has some lace action! Now that I'm into the lace I just want to knit Birkin all of the time! ...
And almost two sleeves done:-) Now the ribbing had not grown so much, although it does look doubled to me! Today I would love to get the body cast on for Rye and maybe the ribbing done on...
Two steps forward, one step back! So I made the decision to rip the ribbing back almost to start. It was striping like a zebra!!! I thought I could get away with not alternating in the ribbi...

So I decided to resurrect my blog for multiple reasons. The last two years have been rough but so strengthening. I'm ready to come back here and post some thoughts and celebrate life. Now ...

1) What was I doing 10 years ago? 10 years ago my oldest was one. I was chasing him all over the place and having a lot of fun with that. When my husband would go out of town it was just Zak and ...
I got a new camera for my fortieth birthday:-) So I'm trying it out. Excuse the sheepy pajama pics! yay!! I finished Tangled yoke. It still needs to be blocked but this is going to get worn!...
I'm pretending like it's not here! I'm just really busy and trying to sort things out. Hmpf! I should be getting on Ravelry by next week. How will I deal with that!?! I'm knitting lots because it...

This is a poor picture of a lovely shawl. My friend Vicki of Simple Knits created the pattern and it is for sale on her website. I love this leaf pattern it is very open and rounded. I plan o...

I have so many lovelies to show you but haven't found two minutes to rub together!!! This weekend is Michigan Fiber Fest so I won't be finding any until next week. The kids started school Weds. s...

I'm sorry I didn't post pics. This week wound up to be too busy. My Secret Pal sent me the most wonderful box. I'm happy to say the chocolate is all gone so the pictures of that won't tempt you a...
I feel very bad that I haven't posted. It's not like I haven't knit. I just don't have the energy to deal with camera issues while the kids are around. I will try next week with the camera. They ...
I am such a luddite but I think one of our virus blockers is not letting me sign in on the computer I can download pics. Wahhhh!!!! So, I finished the Lavold shell and I love it. I started and ...

I'm getting there with the shell:-) I've got two more projects lined up. I want to do Audrey from Sophisticated Lady by Elsebeth Lavold and I bought some Knit Picks shine sport in Apricot fo...
I get a bug every year. Some type of knitting project that I must do. Lace was it, then socks, back to lace, a bag fetish here and there. It is finally sweaters!!! I all of a sudden am obsesse...

This is just a taste of my two weeks. We are Baha'is and we went on a pilgrimage to Israel. Our Prophet Baha'u'llah was sent in exile to Akka to the famous prison there. They basically...
