- About Me:
- I am very thankful for all the blessings I have been given. A healthy loving family and great friends. I enjoy reading, baking and knitting. I enjoy running when I can. I have two grown sons, well almost, both are now in college. I live in the what some would consider mountains but here, we call it "the banana belt of Colorado". I have a small group of fellow knitters here; we laughingly call ourselves "the knitwits". We meet every Wednesday for sharing, fellowship and knitting of course.

I quickly and stealthy positioned myself to disembark next to her, so we could exchange a few words about knitting. Only for a moment did I hesitate to broach the subject. Imagine my joy when my new friend was as… Continue

Knitting....
To some it is a dieing art form, to others it is reminiscent of their Grandmothers; to me it is what my hands were created to do.
It is a peaceful solitary art, or the reason for a social gathering. It is a connection to my heritage, to all the women before me lovingly caring for their families. It is an expression of my creativity and demonstration of the love I have for someone. It will be how I am remembered by others, and a gift passed on to my niece; as it was passed to me by my Aunt.

I am a very relaxed knitter. I find that I need nine balls of each color for the baby blanket!! I haven't actually taken careful notice but I do know that the first blanket, with six balls each color, came a bit too close to running out of yarn. So, I've leaned towards over stashing.

Would love to try the sweater pattern, if you don't mind. It turned out beautiful.
I'm using Swish superwash for all of the baby blankets. The colors in the current blanket reflect my niece's love of sunflowers. I'm using Cream/Bare (A), Sunshine (B), Dublin (C) and Copper (D).
Hugs,

Ok, you just led me down a path of new mysteries!! I went to Amazon to check out the Laura Childs books and then got sent off to books by Mary Kruger and Maggie Sefton! Thankfully, I have already enjoyed Stephanie Barron's books so my shopping list is relatively short.
Thanks
