Well, ok I know it has been awhile since my last post.... Life gets in the way sometimes. Son had to work yet again on my laptop - where I keep all of my pictures. I can safely say it is now fixed. He upgraded the RAM and it cause a world of problems. I was getting error messages right and left. Come to find out, the chip was bad. He contacted the company, they were very helpful and sent a new chip to us, no questions asked. New chip in - laptop now works great. I recommend this online company to anyone needed puter parts. I won't post the name here, but if anyone is really reading my blog and is interested - leave me a message and I will give you the name.

Great news! My second oldest is engaged! I am very happy and excited for her. We now have a year and a half to get everything in order - good thing is, she has been planning for a year now and has quite a bit of it all figured out. Also she found this wonderful place in Annapolis for the wedding and reception. Hope to have an engagement picture soon to share - they are having those taken on Saturday.

On to knitting - I finished a practice dishcloth. Since it has been a while, I did not want to risk ruining a project, so I practiced my stitch on a dishcloth - nothing exciting - just the purl stitch. So now I have moved on to a shawl. So far so good - have about 7 inches done - simple K3-P3 pattern. The yarn is Red Heart Plush in eggplant - it's purple! My favorite. Already looking into what my next project will be - I know my hubby would like me to start working on sewing the living room drapes. Yeah, will see....."But honey, the fabric hasn't aged enough yet" *snicker*

That is a problem I have - I love to many different crafts - it is hard when you have a creative mind.

I will get some pictures up for the shawl once it get a little bigger.

Ok, so here is the scarf - I guess I still have some things to learn about this blogging - I had already wrote my post then did the picture - I guess that was wrong because I have to posts now - Meh - what can I say? My daughter has this same yarn but I got my scarf done before her. She is knitting across - short end - I did mine long ways. Not sure I will do it that way again, twas a pain!
Nice fluffy scarf

Adventures in Knitting...

Yes, I know, it has been a while. I have had some computer issues with my laptop. I keep all of my pictures on the laptop and I wanted my next post to include my first finished project in 15 years! But first, I met some wonderful new friends today - I met them on Knitting Forum, and they are a very talented group of women. I learned that I was purling all wrong - Do'h! Well, I think I have the hang of it now, at least the dishcloth is looking more like the picture in the book. Thanks Lissa!

Ok, now I need to learn more about this blogging thing - I have been looking at everyone else's and they are so fancy! Give me time, I will figure it out - mark my words!!
