- About Me:
- I work in oils and watercolor (some of my original artwork is displayed on my blog spot under "Older Posts"). I play intermediate national tournament Scrabble. Knitting, gardening, crafts, sewing and creating fun knick-knacks are favorite pasttimes, and those projects are shared here. Life accomplishments include 25 yr. in health administration, the rearing of two adult daughters, living with several animals (currently two small, mischievious female dogs) and one most excellent husband who also writes a daily blog about living the Grand Life in Grand Junction, Colorado. I have a Master's Degree in Health Administration from The University of Colorado, and a B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. My pup Libby and I volunteer with Therapy Dogs International, visiting hospice patients and nursing homes.

Lace Knitting
In a previous post in October, knitting easy lace shawls was discussed. The pattern for knitting the shawl shown below came free from Knit Picks and can be found here.
I made two scarves from this pattern, and then got a bit more ambitious, using the same pattern, but repeating the lace row four times across instead of twice, resulting in a 16" by 83" shawl.

My dogs are all short hair, so I would never be able to save up enough fur to actually have it spun.
