Getting Busy

Well Hello everyone I do hope the start of a beautiful season of sunshine and flowers has you all looking for some exciting things to knit while outside. I myself have been getting busy knitting a few hats for some that have asked. A baby hat for a darling little girl who lives down the street she looks adorable in pink or did I pick pink because it is one of my many favorite colors, the pink I speak of is not just any ordinary run of the mill pink this my friends came from Leading Men Fiber Arts and can I say WOW!  The other yarn I had purchased from them was a purple so dark and lovely and so soft in my hands. I had to wait to see what these two amazing hanks wanted to be they both were a little jealous of each other so to make them happy I made them each become something of the same the Mairi Tam by Wendy D. Johnson. The one was for the adorable little girl and the other went to a woman named Mary and both were extremely happy with what they received. Thank You to Leading Men Fiber Arts for dying wonderful colors. I stated I am making myself busy knitting  but I had also taken to hand quilting a blanket for my grandson Spiderman and also Batman that little boy loves his super heros . I had also made him pillow cases to match. I am going to crochet a baby blanket as well as knit up another scarf all lacey fun. I love lace the fine yarn intrigues me. Estonian Lace is something I want to master there are 5 cakes of yarn purchased from Estonia sitting waiting for me to take hold of. Poor things just sitting there saying put me on your needles run me through your fingers as we magically become a wonderful shawl. They say they want to become a long shawl full of nupps and open lace work but so light and airy for all to admire. Oh the choices the many yarns I have speak to me wanting me to pick them so yes I am getting busy this year. I have started knitting outside enjoying the sunshine the breeze the sound of the birds singing as well as the children playing in the park. I can hear the cars and trucks go fly by but I block that hustle and bustle out and just enjoy my coffee and knit away to the sounds of nature. I hope you find a way to enjoy your knitting it's a peaceful relaxing way to either start or end your day. I love nature and all it's creatures so there for I KNIT.

My TV Services

Well hello everyone I had to go ahead and change my cable service just couldn't stand having such a cost. Well I went and called Directv and spoke to a great little girl named Britney. She was so nice a fast talker but got me everything I needed and @ a super low cost. Now I have the NFL package as well sooooo excited about that one I was so delighted with they way this girl handled everything I had to go ahead and ask to speak to her supervisor Daniel. I asked him to please make sure she gets a certificate for awesomeness!!! this girll was on POINT people. It's always a good day when you can

Knitting and More

I have finally decided to start talking knitting again video casts as well as things goin gon in life. I have been busy with many things in my life good bad and some ugly. I have found that it may be beneficial for not only myself but you as well. I have knit a few scarves still trying the sock thing which has yet to come to me to finish. I am so happy to say I have a sweater just about finished. I have the sleeves and then collar and trim and its done. The sweater is one by Hannah Fedig (forgive my spelling) The Effortless Cardigan which can be found on www.ravelry.com a wonderful site for all knitting and crocheting crafters alike a great community of love and passion for crafts.
I will be podcasting again starting May 1, 2013 with much to show and chat about. Hope to inspire you as well as share with you the many other casters out there.


Much Love

A Menapause Minute

Someting else for Menapause

I thought I should also mention some products out there one you may have seen the commercials for called  Cool- Ezz ? not sure if that's the name anyway then there are products that came out that you can put in your pillow case and something or the bed but if you ae like me and have a man that suffers from being so cold because we need to stay cool to sleep the pillow case would be best. I also take that cool pack to the bed with me to help me sleep when the a/c and fas are just not helping. Good Luck

On Friday myself and a few friends went out for a drive decided to go to one of our local libraries and to my surprise we came across Yarn Bombing right there at the Library. These yarn bombers whoever they were, were very clever little buggers they knit around each stop sign in green making them look like flowers even went as far as putting leaves on them. Loved it I will have to go back and take photos and post here. This my friends of the knitting and crochet world was my very first yarn bomb visual other than seeing it all over the net. Was so funny I yelled ohhh look YARN BOMBERS were here and just about everyone in the car and parking lot jumped and said where? where's the bomb? LOL I had to then explain all ab out the idea of making things beautiful and well then of course everyone took notice and thought ohhh what a wonder idea. I hated to leave there without giving a littel touch of my own but needless to say I did. Melbourne FLorida is now becoming a yarn bomb location and I love it!!! Yarn with so many colors and textures and ideas just think of the many ways to bring people together. A Bomb that never hurts anyone only makes us smile   Just imagine if everyone could get along like crafters do.

A Day At The Beach

Today was National Knit in Public Day so I went to the beach here in Melbourne Florida along with my beautiful new bag from Lois of Knittings My Bag and had the greatest time. My LLSS{LaLa Simple Shawl} was so happy to be out and about meeting all kinds of people she almost didn't want to come home. I told her we had to go soon because of the dark clouds that were rolling in. She wanted to cry but I told her not to worry we will come out again. I made her this promise that she can come out with me again and when she is all grown up she can go out as much as she wants. We had a great time together she even had some fun looking at the ocean enjoying a Liptons Brisk Tea. Photos will soon follow.
