About Me:

I love to knit and travel. Everytime I go out of town I have to check out all the knitting shops along the way. My boys tell me I have enough yarn to open my own store. Socks is a weakness for me. I can't get enough sock patterns. I have 2 jack russel terriers, 1 cat, 3 kids and a wonderful man. I have been knitting for 3 years. I taught myself how to knit. I read alot of books. and called my sister alot. Thanks for big sisseys

At 8:51am on September 5, 2009, ice said…: Thanks! Got your message. Did you have a good time traveling? Do you travel in a motorhome as we do or the traditional way? This summer we have gone NOWHERE. perhaps after the wedding John and I will try to get out by ourselves. Before that we have out of town family( 4 of John's 6 brothers, and 3 of their wives, are coming to help celebrate the newest couple! His younger brother, Barney is handicapped and a bit slow (mentally he is 12) will stay at our house as well as my brother whom came over from Belgium. Olaf is known to the grandkids as "Uncle Chocolat". Barney's greatest joy in life is eating! He lets me know what to cook ahead of time.....
We have been pretty busy here with 2 new babies and a wedding in 2 weeks. Right now I started to knit a cover for my scooter in the Simply Cotton. In the planning stage are 3 dresses + dress socks for Kathrine 20 mts, Abigail 2 1/2 and Erin 3 months, but I am knitting it for 6 months. Basically the same basic pattern but each with a different skirt.
The little boys, David 3 1/2 and Matthew ( 2 months) are getting a hoodie, socks and mittens.
The older boys, Xander 13 and Cody 14 hat, mittens and scarf. And our oldest granddaughter Erica 12 has not yet decided. Perhaps a shrug or legwarmers...in cashmere. The kid has good taste!
By christmas it should all be done. Of course the Rv blanket and the scooter cover probably will go on the back burner, as usual.
Once the kids go back to school next week I hope to have a bit more time to devote to Knit Picks Community. I think I posted 2 of the Summer dresses sofar. Got to get back to work cooking party fare. We have the Labor Day party on Sunday and besides our clan (23) we expect another 40 or so.

It's been a long time! Have done a lot of winter knitting: socks, hats, sjaals, mittens & sweaters for the grandkids. Alas, I forgot to take pix.
Finally started a wrap for myself,
I choose to use up my stash of Alpaca Cloud in Horizon ( KP has discontinued this wonderful color!) Starting in the center I picked an old Swan Wing pattern. I want to get it done for our youngest daughter wedding this September. I have a Navy gown and the wrap will complement it nicely. This of course will be interrupted by knitting baby blankets! Two more of the girls are expecting babies! Krissi(daughter in law) around May 28 and Niqui(daughter) by June 28! Since Niqui's will be a boy that blanket is started in 100% Cashmere from Hunt Valley Cashmere. That is in Estonian Lullaby Lace. Krissi has not yet decided on color( deciding between a pale pale celadon green or Natural) nor pattern....
That \'s it for now. Have fun at your spinning. did you post any more pix? I have not been on KP site for a while...and Ravelry is too confusing.
Bye and Happy Knitting

Sorry to hear about your shoulder replacement! does it involve a long hospital stay? And rehab? Thank goodness for swimming pools! I do all my rehab and excercises in the pool. It feels good and I feel light as a feather! The only thing is, coming out I feel like i weigh a TON! LOL.
I "scribble" my patterns down in my own handwriting. Most of them as i go along. I am not much of a structured knitter. After the 4th, when it will be quiet for a few weeks ( i hope) i write some out. Just let me know which ones.
Keep up your spirits!

Sorry to hear you were sick on your travels. I hope you are much better now. My brother arrived from Belgium, also with a nasty cold! We had our June Birthday Bash on Father's Day. Michael, our youngest AND gourmet chef, prepared a scrumptious brunch of Belgian Waffles, with all possible additions + eggs, bacon and sausages. Then later on the day, by 8pm, our other sons, Christopher and Rob, cooked BBQ chicken, bratsburgers and hotdogs. John and I had a ball with the grandkids. We were totally tuckered out when the last ones left! All in all a very good day! And this Saturday we will repeat this with a BBQ at Rob and Krissi's house with a lot more people. From his backyard we have a grand view for the Fireworks.
As "tradition" prescribes on the 4th our gang and then some will gather at our house to swim and BBQ. That night we all pile in the motor home to go watch the fireworks at the military base where Rob works! After this round of parties John and I NEED a break.
I have finished Davids Summer Sweater and am almost done with Abigails Bolero. Last night I started a Sleeveless dress for Katie.
Did you see the "new" sock yarn on Knit Picks? Gorgeous! I will be doing a lot of knitting, or at least, adding to my already substantial "stash"!
Let me know how you are doing? Okay?

At 8:46am on June 5, 2008, ice said…: Oops forgot to tell you what i'm knitting on right now. Finished Erica's pink cashmere "heart" wrap (Karabella Superfine Cashmere). And working on a summer top for Katie in Shine Sport, Sky. It is a pre-curser for summer sweaters for the other babies. I like the Feel and shine of the Shine Sport, although i was hoping for a thinner strand. For David it will be a front button sweater in SS, Leapfrog, and, for Abigail a short sleeved bolero(dont know if this is a word?) in the SS Orchid. Will post pix when finished. Now i am going to have coffee with my husband and brother on the back deck!
Have a fun knit day!

The little pix i post and change regularly are just watercolor sketches. I have never done commercial painting. I used to exhibit and sell for charity in our local hospital, but even that became quickly very cutthroat. So rather than the constant "bitching" i stopped. You had to belong to the local Artist Guild to be able to exhibit.....and i just did not like the way most of the "ladies" operated. The paintings i had are either in our house or in the children's homes. Once in a while, when i do "paint" they go directly to the kids, since...duh! most are quick sketches of the grandkids. Feel free to copy them of the knit page and reprint which ever one you like. something pleasing such as pix, paintings, knit and craft items as well as recipes should be free for all to enjoy!

At 7:02am on June 5, 2008, need2knit said…: Hello! I hope you get the spinning wheel as well. I know I love mine. I just get into a zone when I am spinning. I need to up date my pictures. I have more to add. I found a pair of socks my grandmother made for my grandfather - these need to be posted and shared with everyone. My daughter just got back from a 2 week vacation. Boy did we need it! Now to get back into the swing of things and enjoy more knitting time. Let me know if you get the wheel!
