Birthday Knitting

Dark Illusion Scarf

Nephew is a nut for HP and when I found this scarf posted in Ravelry, I knew that I had to create it for him. The pattern was free Storm Moon Knits

I had a bit of challenge starting it but I've never done Illusion knitting before. After a bit of starts I have gotten to this point. He is going to flip when he sees it. I am using Cascade 22o in the suggested colors on the Storm Moon Site and it's perfect. I am finding family members walking back and forth past the knitting to see the illusion change. What they won't think of next.

If there are cat lovers out there we had a cat emergency. Some vile BOT FLY laid larva eggs in my poor cats neck when she escaped and now I have a cranky kitty with a big lampshade on her neck. Thank goodness we noticed as it could have gotten worse but as it is, she has one cheek laid open. Playing hospital attended to cat is easier than sick hubby;) Well off to finish grad school work. The bain of my existence, then to knit!

Back from the beyond

I spent about 6 months trying to get my blog hosted on another server and I QUIT! There is something that is so frustrating about not getting help working these things out. So I am back to work this one. I have been doing alot of knitting, mostly socks as I joined the STR Rocking Sock Club. I have done 3 so far and will post the first two when I get the camera up.

I finished my peekaboo mittens today!

I went to the midwest fiber and folk art festival and bought Totally tubular spin kits. This one was the browns. I had to buy the red and blue also. (shhhhhh) Don't tell hubby. The yarn is a blast to spin and super warm. For some reason I cannot post the picture but will do as soon as I figure it out.( I'm a total dork and have figured it out)!

I discovered the wonder of our public library recently and have taken home a bunch of new books that allow me to peruse them before I lay out the money. I am now working on the Gnomy Hat by EZ Almanc. I have a suprise for it. You'll have to wait to see.

Im Weaving !!!

Darling husband bought me a rigid heddle loom for Christmas. Following are the photos from the first project.

Feel free to offer feed back on this.

These are my beautiful girls at my fathers Christmas Party. They get more fabulous every year and I want to run away from home!! We helped my father celebrate the holidays this weekend. My Step-mother passed away in April so this one was alittle tough but it will get better.
