Priscilla

Meet Priscilla, the newly adopted sheep for Jenna. Looks like we all will be wearing some beautiful white woolens in the winter. The only problem with this sheep adoption stuff is that I'd really like to have one, not just a vertual one. Oh well. Not practical. For now I'll have to be happy with looking at their pictures and knitting with their wool. By the way, if anyone is interested in the Adopt - A - Sheep thing you can have a look at the web site.

Razzle

Jenna has a new puppy. He has joined the family of pets in the household. Razzle is a 6 month old Pomeranian and is absolutely beautiful. I only wish I could have some yarn spun out of his fur!

T G I F

It's FRIDAY and I'm OH SO glad. It seemed to be a very long week, don't know why. I've been working on my 3rd pair of socks. I can't believe this pair is going so quickly compared to the other 2. Could be that I'm knitting them Toe-Up and with the short row heel. Thank you Claudia for showing me how. I love this yarn and yes, I'll take a picture & put it up here so ya'll can see too.

SUNDAY!

Today Jenna & Morgan are off to Orlando to celebrate Morgans' Birthday. What a NICE present! Arlene & Bent woke up at the crack of dawn and got the sleepy girls up for their journey. I'm home enjoying a lazy Sunday with my furry charges, my Granddog Toby and 2 Grandcats Princess & Rocky. I'll be getting alot of knitting done today, no doubt.

Adopt-A-Sheep

I've adopted a sheep. This is So cool. You pay a certain amount of money towards the care & upkeep of the sheep you choose and when the fall shearing happens the wool is sent directly to you to do with as you please. My sheep's name is Orpha ( at first I was pronoucing it Oprah!) and she is a beautiful blackish gray. I'll be getting a picture of her as well as updates on things she is doing.

Back In Florida

I'm back in Florida for "Spring Break" although I really don't get a spring break. Arlene & Jenna (Daughter & Granddaughter) both do since they teach and attend school, respectively. I came down for a visit and to celebrate Passover & Easter. I celebrate ALL holidays. I'll celebate any holiday that has good food.
I finally finished Kim & Gerry's throw that I knitted for them as a house warming gift. Had to hurry up since they've been in the house since December. Hey...these things take time.
Knitting definately has become an obsession for me but the way I figure it I could have picked something much worse. Having tubs of yarn around makes me feel all warm & fuzzy. What can I say.
I'll post pictures of my completed projects and those in progress as soon as I get home.( I forgot to bring my new camera.)
Happy Day To All.

My 1st Pair of Socks!

My 1st Pair of Socks!

Well, I finally finished my FIRST pair of socks! They took so long to complete. Could that possibly be because I've been working on too many projects at the same time? NO.....
Anyway, I wore them and all day long I kept looking at them. I'm actually working on my 3rd pair now. Pair #2 is finished all except for the dreaded kitchner. I'll do it. I really will. I have to be in the mood to concentrate.
