Well I really have been knitting - I have been working on the blanket below - I call it the never ending baby blanket although I think I see an end soonish...
I am teaching myself how to knit in several colors so when the new Knitty came out
Center Square caught my attention - I had the Paton's Wool in the perfect pirate colors so here is my red and black Center Square - I had to take a little sanity break in the never ending baby blanket and this was perfect - methinks more of these will be flying off the needles in different colors...
For those who know me know that Fun Fur and other fuzzy yarn is usually not on my list of must have yarns - I love the classics - good old wool, Lamb's Pride Worsted, etc - well the yarn below has been calling my name for some time - it is
Prisma in color way 400 - it is rainbow - well in my world rainbows trump fuzzy - at least this time - I am learning the ins and out of knitting with this type of yarn - "ripping" it out is virtually impossible! Blargh - I think I am doing ok so far though! The scarf is a super simple scarf pattern I got from the yarn show where I got the yarn and I think it is perfect for showcasing the fun nature of the yarn...
and last but not least I have been teaching knitting and crochet at my local Michaels Arts and Crafts - I made one sample for them so far but need to take a picture of it - it is like the bulky cabled purse I made way back in January of last year but in Brown Wool Ease Thick and Quick - it looks pretty good too - the teaching is fun - I make a little money getting to do something I enjoy and I am helping others learn a new skill - all good things in my book...
All packed in this wondeful felted bag - I love everything! Thanks Sue
