It's been a while and no new pictures to show. I have been busy working on things. Have a slinky clown just about done, found the yarn in my stash that I needed to finish him. I decided to try knitting with beads and it is my Achilles heel. I'm not sure working on the 0000 needles are for me. Was doing okay, then didn't like how one stitch looked so frogged it, and had a hard time to get going again. So last night sat down with it again and worked on it, was going good and decided maybe would finish it, and then I missed a stitch and to correct that ended up frogging 5 more rows. So decided it was time for bed. Though I do like knitting on smaller needles than crocheting with thread. Have some straightening in the house to do, so will work hard on getting it done, so that I can devote more time to working on my crafts. Only a little over a month till Chataqua, my big show of the year.

I finally decided an empty blog wasn't going to do me any good, or very good reading for anyone who might run across it. So I either needed to close it down or spend some time on it. So we will see if I can come up with something to ramble about once in a while. I have been working on a few projects, and will post them as I go along. Right now on my needles are a scarf from the SASE group on yahoo. Still working on my first pair of socks, have frogged them a few times. Hubby had decided I'm making them for him, so once in a while he asks where his socks are. So should get at them. Am also about to start on an Adult Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann. I am trying to use up some yarn I have around here, so have to see if I have enough to cover this not so skinny body, but don't want to many stripes either. So might just make one and give it to someone it will fit later. I started another BSJ tonight, but was doing it in a bulky baby yarn, and didn't like how it was coming out so it was frogged. Have a baby bib to finish, and a couple of dishcloths to finish. The only picture I have of my work to post is my scrubbers. Always working on them, and I do have them for sale if anyone is interested. Just contact me and we can work out the details.
