Fall Fun

I went to my cousin last night for a party she had for the kids. They brought their own pumpkins to carve, after everyone ate, they started to carve their pumpkins. It was fun watching them, they had some very interesting pumpkins when they got done. I got to see a few before I had to leave, these old bones don't like the cool weather.

Now, what have I been knitting, not very much. I got alot of projects on my needles but it seems like I'm not getting anywhere. There is so much I want to knit for Grandkids and my kids for Christmas. Is anyone having the same problem as me. I am also behind on my KAL's, so after Christmas I will need to catch up.


Here is my Christmas mug rugs, I will be making more of these for Christmas gifts. They are so cute and fast to knit up.

I got one Christmas sock knitted, still need to finish putting name on there and two other ones on the needles, a kitchen towel, a hat, 2 socks, I guess I should finish what I started before I start anything else.

Finish Projects

Here is my Spindle and fiber I got at my LYS. I'm getting the hang of it.

I'm into recycling sweaters for yarn now, this is Lamb wool

My Dishcloths I have knitted, I'm still behind on a few will post them when finish.

Doctor's Visit

Went with my cousin to her doctors visit Tuesday and I took the purple scarf I was working on for my granddaughter, since I didn't need my row counter. There was a little girl there around 8 with her grandmother. She came up to me and wanted to know what I was doing and I told her I was knitting a scarf, she told me purple was her favorite color. She went off to play for awhile, then came back and ask if she could have the scarf. I told her I wasn't finish yet and that it wasn't long enough, she said that's OK my neck is small. So I bind off and gave it to her.

Family

Here is part of my family, We got together at my sister's house out in the country. these are our 2 youngest children, our son Tony and his wife Abbey in the back and our daughter Tonya (in the pink top) and her husband Mike and 4 of her children, Isaiah, Alyssa and Haley, I holding Allie and my husband John behind me, Brandon her 3 year old is the one that is missing, his dad had him that day.

Finish Alyssa's Hat

I got this pattern off the internet,(Raverly I think) it's called, Robin's Egg blue hat. I did it in Purple and made it for my granddaughter Alyssa, thats her favorite color and now working on a scraf to go with it. The picture does not show the true color.

my trip to the yarn shoppe

Greg and Suzan are the owners of The Yarn Shoppe in Herrin, IL.
If you live around Southern Illinois or driving through drop in and say hi to
them. They are so nice and helpful

and have about anything you would
need to knit or crochet and yes they

have spinning wheels. I went in there
yesterday to get a drop spindle and

filber,I guess thats what you would call it (I new to all this) , Greg took the time to sound me how it works
I just glad we have a place like that around here, that we have a choice where we buy our yarn, and other goodies. I know I will go back. I could just live there among all that yarn. sorry I got carry away.

This spinning wheel is on my wish list, I just love it, don't know how to work one but will learn one of these

days

.

Well next time I will put on here what I purchase at The Yarn Shoppe.

my first pair of socks knitted on 2 cir. needles

I have knitted socks before but this was fun doing 2 at one time. I guess this pair will go to my grand son Brandon.
