Portland!

I am going to Portland with some knitting friends on Friday. I am very excited to get away for a few days and I will be able to knit without worrying about Gracie eating my work. See you when we get back.

Embossed Leaves

Embossed Leaves

I started Embossed Leaves using Filatura Di Crosa Maxime in the brown color way. I love this pattern so far. As lace goes, it is very easy to knit. And believe me, I am lace challenged. The yarn is also wonderful and purchased from Main Street Yarns in Mill Creek.

As long as my dog does not eat my knitting like she did the last project I started, I think I will be very happy with these socks. I am careful to keep yarn away from her as she tends to think it is wonderful to snack on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I've been knitting, Really!!!

I've been a lousy Blogger this past year. It seems I am always too busy. I have been doing a lot of knitting, and I am hoping this weekend I will have a finished sweater to show! With my online store and my car breaking down every other day, I have been focused elsewhere.

The auto dealer is being nice and they are going to give me a new car tomorrow. Hopefully it will be nicer than the one I have now. I'll try and post a picture.

Remedy Tea

Last week Cast Off met at Remedy Tea. It is a wonderful tea house on Capitol Hill that literally has hundreds of teas to choose from. The atmosphere is very contemporary and it is a great place to meet friends.

Lots of knitting was accomplished by all. Kat and Amy were working hard on their projects. Kat is making a sweater and Amy was finishing a hat.




















I am working on the sleeves of my blue striped sweater. I will be wearing it soon! Here it is in a giant pile. When it is done, there will be better photos.






















My indoor photography could use some work. I think my next class will be lighting.

Don't forget to visit my new online store.
10% of all sales will be donated to PAWS.

Cast Off

Thursday we had our first meeting of Cast Off at Caffe Vitta. Fun was had by all, it was great to see old friends again. Kat brought some yummy fries.
