It's Me Birthday

A card from Hubby...

I've Lost It

I don't know why but this just cracks me up. Please don't hold it against me.

Doh!

I'm still a dope when it comes to how much yarn is in the ball and how far will it go. I don't know anyone personally who knits and being disabled I can't really pop out to knitting groups, and we don't have a local yarn store. So there you are, I'm learning as I go.

The problem is I'm 3/4 done with my latest bath mitt and it's looking good. I used Knit Picks Shine and at this point I can't ignore that I will run out of yarn. I really thought one ball of yarn should make one mitt. I just can't bring myself to crack open another ball for one mitt. Cheap I am! With a ball of Lily Sugar and Cream I've made two mitts and am now knitting a dishcloth. I just couldn't ignore the economics, even though the yarns are quite different.

So I bought some SandC and will try the pattern on the ball band since this yarn doesn't really do ribbing.

Jumping In

How do you start a blog? It's like merging on the freeway, eventually you just have to go for it. I was also motivated by my invite to Ravelry, hooray. I think it's been a month or longer since I added my name to the list.

Perhaps I should refrain from gushing about Ravelry until it is open to all. They posted how people are upset not receiving an invite. I think people get anxious because every prominent blogger and podcaster does have access and Ravelry has become a frequently used verb in their vocabulary. This can make one feel left out. I know that when I would here Ravelry in a podcast I would have to check the web page to see if they were open.

Well maybe I should tell you that I am a artsy gal and currently knitting is my focus. I taught myself a couple of years ago but this year really got into it.
