On the Needle-19 Oct

I started a new scarf pattern called

"Organic Scarf" by Chalice.

You can find the pattern on Ravelry.com

 

The Yarn is Simply Soft by Caron in grey.

 

As it turns out, the pattern designer

is in my local knit group, which is

doubly nice, since I needed help

with her pattern.

 

From this pattern, I learned how

to "make one" stitch, which increased

the scarf cast on from 240 stitches to

480 stitches.

 

Loving this pattern!

Free is good!

I was cleaning out a box my

sister-in-law gave me of items

from a antique store.

 

And in said box, I found a scrap of fabric...

 

So I made an apron.

 

And everyone can always use another apron, right!

Change is a comin'

I am ready for change...

 

Real change...

 

I have felt like I am stuck in a rut for

way to long...weeks...months...a year or more!

 

I need to make some drastic changes

to move towards the life I really want,

instead of the life I am existing in...

 

I decided to list the important things in my life:

 

1.Family

 

Spouse.

 

Daughter Elizabeth (with her spouse Brandon)

 

Son Marc

 

and daughter Victoria.

 

I also have a daughter-in-law and 

5 grandchildren (with #6 on the way in 2013)

 

My parents

 

(Early photo of them with my brother)

They are no longer physically with me

here on Earth, but eternity in my heart.

 

2. I am a member of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Most people know us as Mormons.

My religion is very important to me.

 

3.My creativity:

I need create constantly.

I feel like it is almost part of my

very physical body and I need

to be able to let it out..express it...share it!

 

What does this list tell me?

I'm not sure right now, but I am

going to keep coming back to this

little list to help me figure out

who I am and what I want!

KCWC-Day 1

My first day of sewing as part of the

kcwc Fall 2012 sewathon.

 

I started sewing flannel jammie bottoms

for the grand kids for Christmas.

The blue pair are for my Grandson.

 

The pink and striped flannel blanket

behind the jammies is for the

newest Grandchild...she is due in 2013!

 

I made the blanket from a video

tutorial on YouTube. It is a

self-binding blanket. Very easy

and very quick!

 

Tomorrow...probably more jammies!

Give me the fabric...

and no one gets hurt!

 

9.5 months without purchasing any

fabric...I am having with drawls!

On the Needle

I said I wasn't going

to start any new projects

until I finished knitting the

Sinful Scarf, but...

 

I need something new to inspire me!

 

I am going to either start this crocheted cowl

 

 or a knit cowl,

(that I do not have a photo or

website link too)

 

Either way, it's not going to

be the Sinful Scarf today!
