Funky Scarf

I have finished another one! This is out of one of my fun yarns from a previous post. Was not too fond of the needles, they were pretty slick and make it hard to keep even stitches. I will keep practicing with them. I have a couple of others started...don't know how long this knitting fetish will last but at least I am getting something made and having fun! Staying warm also!!

Fireplace Finished!

The fireplace makeover is finished ! Just need to get a cover on the outlet and my decorations on the mantel and this room will be back in order. I was taking the first picture when hubby pulled up with an insert. He got the insert in and we have a nice roaring fire. There is a blower on in insert and it makes the room warm and cozy but, It is not heating much but the room it is in. He hoped this would heat more of the house then just the one room. He is going to have to do some tweaking and maybe this will heat more. Rosco likes laying in front of the fire also!

I need help!

O my! I think I need help. I seem to be very addicted to fiber right now. Maybe because it is so cold and colorless out right now. I long for lush texture and bright vibrant color. I paid a visit to a yarn shop down town and I should stay out of there. I think I could buy one of everything! I have also been buying some different size knitting needles. I can't wait to make something with this cool yarn and new needles. I have two knitting projects started right now! I don't know when this addiction might pass, maybe when it warms up or my beads or dolls start calling for me to create with them?
 There is a fiber fest in March that I am planning on attending. Who knows what I might bring home from that....maybe a fiber producing animal! Stay warm!

Knitting Again!

I can't stop knitting! I made another wrap for a gift. I could not find the colors in one yarn so I used two different yarns together. While making it my daughter loved the colors and ask me to make her a scarf. So I got them both finished today. I have a doll I need to do a little work on and hope to get finished and listed soon. I might even make a scarf to put in my shop. Enjoy

Just like crystals!

I woke up this morning to this beautiful crystal looking wonderland. Mother nature does some amazing work at times. I am getting a little sick of winter but this is hoar frost is just breath taking. I love the sparkle of crystals and this makes me feel like I am living in a crystal wonderland. Some of my pictures a not the clearest, if I would read the directions to my camera I might be a better photographer! LOL!

I am dreaming of...........

I am dreaming of this

And this...

This....

and one of these........

So I can make some of this !!!

This is my new craze I would love to add these wonderful animals to our family so I can make some of my own wonderful yarn. The funker the better....I love fiber that is multi textured like this and is my new dream!

Wish me luck on this one! I think I will have to do some real sweet taliking for the goats and alpaca. The rabbit might not be so hard we already have two. Just an extension on the rabbit condo. Wish me luck!

Stepping out of my confort zone

I am so excited, I taught myself something new in knitting! I am not any kind of expert when it comes to knitting. I make simple things with using the knit stitch. One of my goals was to learn to read a pattern this year. I was looking a some way cool scarves and wondered "How did they do that ?" " What kind of stitch is that?" After searching and searching I discovered it was a drop stitch. I did not give up and found a pattern. Since I don't understand patterns real well I could not quite grasp what the were trying to say to do. I searched more and found a video showing how to do it! Bingo! I can do this. Went to my yarn stash and found some half used skeins of yarn and I was off on a new adventure! I tried it with two yarns, just because I like to think outside of the box. I wished I would have had a bit more yarn to make it longer, I was just experimenting. I love the out come I will be making some more of these. I will also be learning and trying some new stitches. I am so in love with fiber right now......I can't get enough of it. This is also turning wheels for what I hope is a new adventure soon to come. Stay tuned  Enjoy
