Remembering how to Knit

Let's see, do I remember how to knit?
I feel so bad, it's been forever since I have felt like holding those needles in my hands. I have been foundling my fiber, looking for the perfect recipe but nothing has peeked my interest enough to get me started.

Well, you know what, I'm tired of waiting and wondering what to make.
I'm going to just jump in and do SOMETHING!

Ok, I'm starting out small, I got this great yarn with a gift certificate from my kids and I'm making a scarf...check out the colors, can you tell how pretty they are?












Here's one of just the yarn, with the tag so you can see what it is. It feels really great, I love it.













And I also have a sock started (I can never have just one project at a time)
Here'a what I have so far:







And, as you can see below, the pattern is "Jaywalker" and I got it from "Grumperina"
The yarn doesn't really show off the pattern, but it's easy and beautiful when done. I saw a girl wearing a pair she had made when I was at the "WWKIP" day.





Well, I finally managed to post about knitting on my knitting blog...YIPPY!!






On another note, today was the first regular season football game and my team lost :(
I'm pretty bummed about that, but, that's ok, next game.

I am leaving next Friday for vacation, I can't believe it, vacation!! I can't remember the last time I did that.
Granted it's only California, but still, it's a week off of work and lots of visiting with family I haven't seen for years. It should be lots of fun. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the drive, it's about 12+ hours.

Last night my daughter in law made her first No Knead Bread, I just supervised :)
It came out wonderful!!














Well, I think I have gone on and on enough for now.

Thanks for stopping by

Day Three

Day Three, and I am still blogging :0)

The weekend went by way too fast, but on the bright side, with the help of my beautiful and talented daughter in law, I was able to make much progress on the quilt. All that is left to do is the hand sewing which I will have done in the next few days.

I really need to get some pictures. I am going to work on getting my knit projects together and posting some pics, I promise.

I gotta say, after spending the last few days reading other people's blogs, I'm a bit intimidated, I am nowhere near as good as most every other blog owner I have read.

However, I shall continue to plug along, knitting and blogging.

Well, it's off to bed already, the evenings go by so much faster than the work day :(

I wish someone would actually visit us and post some comments.

Good night moon

My very first post :)

I have no idea what I am doing.
My daughter in law and I LOVE to knit and wanted a way to share our projects as well as seeing others.
Our hope is to bring together people like us, people who love to knit but just don't have the time or the means to make it to conventional knitting circles or the patience to wait months to be invited to an online knitting group with tons of bells and whistles.
We will share our hopes and dreams and projects and hopefully others will join us and make this a great place to visit.



This is one of my favorite projects:
















Marinda (my daughter in law) and I are most recently playing with Entrelac, it's so FUN

Here is a picture of my first attempt:
