Working on afghan for Rich in Kentucky and pair of slouchy socks for grand daughter in Washington. Ordered up a couple of the lace kits from KnitPicks to make scarfs for Christmas and the boys get hats! Figured I'd post one of each when I get them done.
Well, miss you lots. Take care and God bless, Donna

Took a look at it and decided I'm going to tear about the back I got done and make the one you suggested, February sweater. However, no alterations since I like the basic original patter I think. I think of you and my old knitting friends often, and I really miss your and my visits. Joe is ordained now. Took classes the last 2 years and studies in prison. Dont' remember if I told you or not. Oh, by the way; could you please email me a copy of your pie shawl? I lost mine on vacation while I was finishing up my sisters shawl. Sooooo please tell everyone I said hi and I really really miss you! Take care and God bless Diana. Hope all is well with you and your family. Donna

At 12:02pm on May 22, 2009, rosiedlp said…: So be sure and tell me where I find the pattern for "your" mid sleeve lenght sweater" and the February Lady sweater. Well be back in touch............. will give you call at work tomorrow, hows that? What time is best??? God bless........

At 8:16am on January 22, 2009, rosiedlp said…: Well, I've finished a few scarfs and got off to the ex daughter in-laws so they didn't feel forgotten. I've finished Ezakiahs sweater and such and even made Elias a scarf so he didn't feel left out. Made a scarf from the book I bought at the Knittery for Rich. He's coming home from Afghanastan this coming Monday and we are driving up to Tenn. to see him when he gets off the plan. Still working on my shawl. Got my sisters their gloves off for Christmas and now working on 3 speciality yarn scarfs for a Chinese auction I'm heading up for charity thru our Welcome Wagon group I'm in. My sweater has gone to the wayside and if I get started back on it I'll probably need "alot" of direction from "you know who" long distance! I'm thinking about checking around and see if I can find a 3X basic pattern I like and use it so I don't have to mess with the alterations, since just knitting a larger sweater is going to be a challenge on it's own....... Still have a shawl for Vicki (my sister you meet) and one for my sister in law. I'm using the pattern I got from you, the 7 sectional. When I finally get back to the heart shawl I'm almost thinking about tearing apart what I've done, since I have flaws I've noticed off and on and I know as well as you do; practice makes perfect and I've been doing lots of it (knitting of course)! Other than that it's running Jim to dentist and doctor, but he's doing well. We go to a game room that has penny machines a couple times a week. I got a bike for Christmas and I ride about 5 miles 5 times a week. And then my neighbor and I got to Bingo on Mondays. So keeping busy.......... Oh, a lady about 30 mins away emailed me and I guess at a coffee shop near her (about 25 miles away) they have a group of ladies that meet a Panaeras (a coffee/deli shop) for 2 to 3 hours on Wednesdays. The closest yarn shop near me is about 50 miles away, so I'm thinking of trying out the drive and check out the group. Love, miss ya and God bless! Donna

At 9:16am on July 17, 2008, Kelley Petkun said…: Oh, your shawl turned out even better than I had imagined!!! Are you planning on re-working your wardrobe so you can wear it every day!!!!

What's next?

Hugs,
Kelley

At 10:18am on June 9, 2008, Mandy said…: The shawl is looking really nice. I look forward to seeing what the remaining charts look like knitted onto the shawl.

At 8:41am on June 9, 2008, Tina said…: I like your thinking! :-)

At 8:20am on June 9, 2008, Tina said…: I haven't tried Fair Isle dyeing yet, but I love the idea. But, I keep telling myself I need to knit what I've already dyed before I can dye more........it's a losing battle.

At 12:13pm on June 8, 2008, autumnafternoon said…: Isn't creating and dreaming about your next project fun? I've always got something in the works too. And whether it's in the garden, or reorganizing my stash...I always feel so accomplished when I'm done.

At 1:06pm on June 7, 2008, autumnafternoon said…: Hey, love your blog...and your work is so beautiful. You are one busy lady!

At 12:29pm on June 1, 2008, Mandy said…: Thanks that is a very generous offer of a pattern. I was particularly taken with the white bag - it just looks so delightful. The others work so well with the bag handles. Did you knit these to fit, having chosen the handles first?

At 8:43am on May 31, 2008, Mandy said…: Thanks for your comment about the sweaters in my photos. I enjoy knitting cables - rather a satisfying pattern to watch as it grows.
By the way, I do like that cabled bag in your own photos. I'm not surprised it was well received.

At 1:07am on May 31, 2008, Mandy said…: Hello there, I do hope that you don't mind. I have sent a request to add you as a friend. I love the projects you are showing on your photos section. I am also fascinated by the work you are doing on the Arctic shawl. I would really like to follow what you are doing on that, since I would like to knit a second pi shawl at some stage. My last one came out a little too small for my liking.

At 4:43am on May 20, 2008, Rebecca Mills said…: Hi! I enjoyed your webpage also. Nice bags, I am just now learning to knit lace and cables. I made a book mark with cable stitches to learn how. Being 50 is not so bad after all. It doesn't seem any worse than 40 did. So far, it's been fun. Looking forward to my senior citizen discounts!!!

At 8:06am on May 9, 2008, Tina said…: How fun! The socks are looking good!

At 4:24pm on April 22, 2008, cynstitch said…: DA,
Ok, you've got to tell me who you are! So you're not Georgia or Ruth.....hmmmm. I'll have to go check my tatting books and see if I can figure you out if you won't tell!! :-)
I buy tatting books all the time so I'm bound to have at least one of yours.
My email is >cynstitch4@yahoo.com< if you'd prefer to be discrete.
You will love Hector by the way, some really great vendors including my favorite, the Lacemaker. And Georgia, Ruth have been there, also Jaquie Teal and Sue Hanson have taught as well.
I meant to ask if you taught at Spokane and if so what was it? I love meeting tatters from everywhere. I'd love to go to Palmettos sometime too. Maybe I could drag my hubby along and he could do his own thing while I do mine! sounds like a plan to me!
Well, time to practice......write when you can, Cyndi.
