I am FINISHED!!!!!

The baby blanket is done! Thanks to Mom for helping me with the backing. I am so thrilled with the end result. This has been my biggest project yet.

New Project

Hubby got me this book so I can return the libraries copy. 2.5 squares done only 61 to go!

The book is inscribed To Ruth with Love from Bill Christmas 1974

Hip to be square

I have started my new project the sampler afghan. I only have one color of yarn right now but, the others will arrive soon. Cranberry, tan, olive, and white are my color combinations. I will be posting these as progress continues.

The Beach

Today I went and wandered around at Vilano Beach. It is unusual to see giant rocks at the beach in Florida. This is a very quiet beach and made for a great walk.

The perfect day

So yesterday was the perfect day. I slept late and hubby drove me to the yarn shop in the a.m. I there picked out my yarn for my next project (More on that to come later). Lunch at Mojo's a blues kitchen -very yummy. I went to a bead shop. We then came home for some down time aka knitting. Followed by going to the symphony to hear a Celtic rock band and the symphony play together. It was fabulous! The bagpipes, fiddles, and the drums were amazing. The perfect day!

The picture is part of a knitting project I have going and will finish soon.

The River City

On my lunch hour today I went to the library to check out a new book. The goal of my trip was to plan my next knitting project. I have decided it is going to be a large project and just for me and hubby. Ok mostly me. On my way to the library I had to take a few photos- The first picture is what I see out my window at work. The Main Street Bridge - or "the blue bridge" and the St Johns River. The second picture is where I ate my lunch on a patio on the story of the Library overlooking the fountain & garden area. The third picture just makes me laugh. There are a bunch of the big cats around town that will be later auctioned for charity. I love the Elvis Cat- he has tons of rhinestones on his jump suit and is on the prowl.

I did decide on a new knitting project it is going to be a sampler blanket in white, tan, navy blue and ??????. I need one more dark color let me know your thoughts. My email address is parrotheadchic@yahoo.com.

More to come soon : )

A quiet weekend morning

Hubby is out of the house and I finished the booties. The rest of my day is dedicated to laundry and taking down the Christmas Tree. Thought I would post pictures for of both. Have a great weekend!

Fun with 2 sticks and yarn

I am new to this whole blogging thing, but I am excited about my knitting. I have been knitting for only a couple of months or should I say addicted for only a couple of months. Here are a few of my recent garments. My current project is a smaller pair of the baby booties the ones in the photo turned out to be for a 1 year old. More to come.............
