So I have decided to attempt tatting. This is an art that I find fascinating and am glad
it isn't lost.
Also have started this really neat scarf using my telephone number. You knit the rows to
your number and then repeat. I'm using random pieces of all the feltable and fun
yarns that have been given to me (thanks Lou Lee & others). When finished I will
wrap sections tightly (so as not to felt) and will take loads of pics for all to see.
I 'm still making more slippers for the upcoming holidays (okay the end of the year).
Hopefully I can start the sweater for myself that I have wanted to make..Good Luck
to me on that one...
Peace,
Darla
ps: Thanks to all of my new followers and the great comments that you have
left. It means alot when a comment is left to read the next day...
How learning to knit has changed my life for the better. My personal spin on many subjects that I am interested in & follow. My wonderful life & sometimes bumpy ride through it.

KNITTING FOR ME
I was having a slow start up knitting this new year. I knitted a
simple pair of fingerless gloves for my daughter. She said her hands
get cold when she is at the research library late in the evenings.
So being Mom and having a request for something I can knit, I preceded
to grab my needles and some beautiful "lambs Pride Cotton Fleece", and they were in the mail to her... that was a great feeling.
Now with all the beautiful yarns I have collected and needles I have to use
I've decided to make myself a scarf. Not a complicated one with my
mink & cashmere but with an acrylic (but oh so soft) which I purchased
for $.50 at a thrift store that I love to shop at.
Oh nothing fancy in the stitches either. Just plain old reliable garter
stitch.
I figure with the new yarns I purchased the last week online I'll be
busy knitting socks and new gifts for everyone this year..
