Project Spectrum.....

Here I come...with some minor modifications that is. I swatched for the lace leaf pullover, and there is no way it will work. So, I have decided to try another sweater pattern with some other reddish yarn. Okay, I seriously need some help. I can't get this whole button thing to work. Can someone Please help me?

New beginnings...

Have been busy with lots fo things, I knit a sleeve for the baby cardi from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, only to riiiipppp it out because it was slightly different in color. So, I did what any other self respecting knitter would do, I got revenge and made it mad by starting another project. What else? The ever popular jaywalker socks by Grumperina. I am using a fortissima sock yarn that has all of the colors of the rainbow in it. Whenever I find my camera I will take a photo. Talk to you later....

Tres Sexy, no?

You're Betty Grable!

Sweet anticipation...

I have joined the ranks of the knit-a-long cyber-knitters! I have to admit I am kind of proud of myself, I am not really a computer person. This has and still is a great learning experiance for me. Project Spectrum....I actually think I have yarn in almost all of those colors. I went out and bough some wool-ease chunky today in a purpley kind of color today. It was on clearance, so I had a hard time saying no. They are clearancing out a lot of stuff over at Hobby Lobby. Did any one else see the wool put out by Lion Brand? It doesn't feel as soft as their other yarns. I do not know if I will end up getting any or not. It is really hard to get good yarn around here, there is only one yarn stire in town and her business hours are from 10 to 5 and guess what I work? 10 to 6. There is it....no chance. She does not have any Noro as far as I have seen, and I really like the look of the hourglass sweater in last minute knitted gifts. I really do not want to substitute yarn for everything that I knit. Anyhoo, one of my friends had a bead shop here in town, and she just went out of business today, so sad. They did not seem upset about it though. Everything was 50% off by the time I got there. I should have bought more, but i knew I wanted yarn too, so I scrimped by with $21 dollars worth of beads and findings. I always want to join those secret pal things, but getting to the good yarn store is a daunting task, I would feel upset if I could not get a better yarn than what Hobby Lobby sold. I don't want to let anyone down.
As for pictures of my two darlings,(ha, ha), I think I have a couple that I can share....

The dreaded sweater....

Here is the boyfriend/husband sweater in action, and believe me this sweater did not come without it's consequences. Some of the things that happened during this sweater are the reason that my husband and I are separated. I wanted to forgive, but something inside me says no. So, here is part of the demise of my marriage. Sorry about the flash reverb.
