Good Times....

Halloween..... What a fabulous pumpkin!!!! Gregg is so talented!!!!

The Perfect Dress....... I'll block it tomorrow.....If it is chilly or hot this Christmas, Maggie will have a dress to wear!

Tulip Time..... It was chilly last Monday and the Mags arrived wearing her Tulip sweater and matching hat. So sweet! (The hat was off in seconds!)

It's About Time...... The Clara dress is finished.....and overall....I am pleased. Since I couldn't get gauge with the Isager yarn, I used Jaggerspun Zephyr held double. After blocking, it has beautiful drape and sheen. Now to find the perfect button.....

Gregg's Christmas socks (and one of Maggie's) are finished.

Days of Summer...

Although I haven’t posted in a while….I have been knitting. After watching Maggie during the day, I am usually too tired to knit at night, however, I do try to spend one day/week just knitting with small breaks for cooking, eating and an occasional load of laundry.


All three shawls were designed by Anne Hanson/Knitspot. I love that she provides written instructions as well as charts.

Although I posted the same picture twice (didn’t feel like starting over) the first shawl is Ice Fantasia knit out of my handspun. I am crazy about it!

Irtfa’a was next. Jackie had a fabulous weekend getaway planned and through the years has hinted, “Why don’t you knit me a shawl,” so I did.

I love the yarn – Valley Yarn Alpaca Silk. Wish I had it in every color! The shawl is soft and airy and has fabulous drape.

I just finished Lacewing which I plan to dye black for the holidays. There are plenty of purl 2 togethers through the back loop – a pain in the ass if you ask me – but – much easier to accomplish in natural colored yarn.


My summer of lace is now over….I have socks to knit for Christmas as well as Maggie’s Christmas dress.

The Maggie.....
