Beautiful Fall Day in the Ozarks

Today is a wonderful fall day in the Ozarks. The highs are barely going to make the 70s today. It has rained for the last few days, so the grass is greening again. I so hope that aren't anymore 100. I should have my camera back this weekend and will post some updated project pictures.

Scarf Exchange

So I did it, I signed up for the Scarf Exchange #3. There are several people from KR that signed up. D*** KR, why do I go and read all those friendly emails and find these exchanges. Shame on me! I'm sure I will like it but I always get behind. I will try to be better this time.

Knitting web ring

So today, I joined my first knitting web ring. I know that once the KR webring is open again, I want to join it. Congrat's to me.

Knitting Quiz

I took the knitting quiz and I'm a knitting guru. Who would have thought it? Here is the link Quiz. I got the quiz from CraftyBernie, who got it from another blog site.

Here is what a Knitting Guru is:
You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While finishing a piece is the plan, you still love the process, and can't imagine a day going by without giving some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation involves leaving ample space for the stash and supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn ends and you begin.

Tote exchange bag

Decided that I should post a picture of my bag for the Tote exchange. This is called the Sparta Bag and it was sent to Chrissie in Singapore. I hope she likes it.

Socks from my class

Here is a picture of my socks that we knitted in my sock class at Hand Held Knitting in Fayetteville, AR. They are from Cat's book and I like them. I got ambitious and learned to knit 2 socks at the same time on circs. The class was only for knitting 1 sock on circs but thanks to socknitters.com, I was able to finish 2 socks at the same time.

Update on my cable sweater

So thanks to the Knitter's Review, I fixed up cable issue. Here is a update on my progress. Thanks for all of your help

Thank you LInda

I received a bag from Linda from the Tote Exchange. It came a few weeks ago but I have been in and out of town (going back and forth to California), so I'm finally getting a chance to post a picture of it. I love this back.

Having a problem with my cable on my Knit Picks Weekend Cabled V-Neck Sweater. The cable on Right Side twist is not twisting the same as the left side. Hopefully someone from KR can help me????

First Sock

Here are some pictures of my first sock ever. Not to bad for my first try. Now I have to make a mate to this sock. Off to knit some more.

Knitter's Review Back online

After several scary days without my Knitter's Review, it is back up and running. I'm no longer have paniac attacks. Thanks, Clara for fixing the KR.

Knitter's Review

This morning I tried to go to my favorite message board and it was coming up as the URL is expired. BUMMER! I need my knitter's review? Where is it????

Buddy

Here is a picture of my dog, Buddy. He is almost 1 1/2. He is been a lifesaver, living in Arkansas without my husband. Please pray that our house will sell SOON so my husband can come back.

Got Buttons & Progress Updates

Wow, this has been difficult to learn and I'm not sure why. But after many many questions to my friends on the KR, I now have buttons and Progress updates that work. Thankfully the KR is a patient group!! Thank you!

Learning to blog better

Thanks to some help from my friends at KR, I learned how to add links to my blog. I know it's not much but it is a step. Next I need to figure out how to add pictures to it.

Signed up for tote exchange

Yesterday, I signed up for the knit tote exchange that I saw on KR. I can't wait. I have done cross stitch exchanges in the past but never a knitting one.

Knitter's Review

I have found a wonderful group and have learned a lot here. They are so very friendly and helpful with all of the knitting questions. The only thing I don't like is the enabling. I want everything that I see; tools, gadgets and know I want to learn to spin.

Sttich N Bitch

I forgot about my Blog. It has been a tough week. My dad had surgery and had 3 pins in his arm. He is a really bad patient. Yesterday, I got my mom out of the house, left Gene with Dad (sorry honey) and we went to Stitch N Bitch at Carrows. My mom never even picked up the needles but she did get to relax.
