Mini Finish

Okay, it wasn't really a lot to do, but I feel like I have finally finished something, this is a miniscarf done in Tonalita Color2348 by Trendsetter Yarns. It is 52% wool and 48% acrylic, but it is GOOD....like chocolate good.....addiction good...I can see myself buying way too much of this already.....Pattern: mine, 15sts, seed stitch, knit until there is about 15in of yarn left, bind off in pattern. Normally $9.50 a ball, I got it at my LYS for 50% off because it was the only one left it its color. Woohoo!

MMMmmmm....perfect.....

Do I really have to say anything about it, except this is how I am spending me evening?

Busy Busy Bees

Some bees were very busy over the winter, and I know, because someone gave me these as a gift...that was a week ago and they are still doing okay. (That would be my daughter behind them...) However, the person who gave them to me will not speak to me anymore. Apparently he had hopes that we would get married....but even the thought of another marriage is scary. Not to mention the fact that he was really rushing things, he only knew me for a week. Oh well, my brother came in from Florida, and I didn't even get a pictue to post. I will have to download one from his website. We don't look related so much anymore. He is two years older than me....but today he turns 31. Happy Birthday to my one and only big brother. Last Sunday was my Dad's birthday, the reason I am knitting crazy german mittens.
Wow, my kids are having a connecting moment, they wanted to sit next to eachother on the arm of the sofa....so cute. I have the other glove to finish and I can't wait because these gloves are dragging on forever. Hope Dad knows I care....lol.

Chinese Torture Anyone?

I have been working on this glove for a while now....the same glove, for about 6 months. I have knit, and ripped, knit and ripped, and knit and ripped. The crazy thing is a pattern from a german manufacturer, that has been translated to English, or a resemblance of. It has driven me crazy from the moment I started it. There are directions in over three different places, and none of them match up. There are only partial directions in each spot. I would not recommend buying their patterns, but they are so darn cute, if you can figure them out. Anyhow, I have to get back to work, I need to finish this glove in time for the mail, it is a present for my Dad. His birthday is next week. 52 years old.....hahaha....but he's my Daddy. We did not get along until I was 15, but after that we were like two peas in a pod.
