One Week

In the past week, I have seen a funny movie with one of my sisters, taken some family photos for a friend, gone wedding dress shopping (not for me, of course), gone to a wedding, finished some socks, witnessed a hit-and-run accident, gone to a play, gone out to dinner with my mother-in-law, gone downtown, lots of weeding, lots of laundry, gone to knitting night, sat in on a podcast (sans microphone), picked our first pepper, lots of piecing, picked some more beans, made a horrible dinner, and pulled out a tooth!






Whew! We've been busy. I hope you are enjoying your summer!

    You have been busy, but it all sounds like fun-except maybe the pulling of the tooth!

    My, you have been busy. I love the new banner picture - very patriotic.

    Wow - what a week, Karen! You need a break - I think I would do some more fishing! Take care.
    Cheers!

reasons I knit

I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years.  Not much to say about it but I still knit.   I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable.  I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.

modular knitting

On the plus side, modular knitting gives one interesting options for colorwork and color blocking.  Sometimes the dye process can give the yarn its own commentary, like this changing of scales. However, there are often many more ends to weave in.  This one is not too bad, but there's at least four ends on every row - 14 rows.  Still, interesting to try something new! Details on my Ravelry page , if you are interested!!  Have you tried modular knitting?  Thumbs up or down??

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
