Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I've decided to keep track not only of my knitting projects but my thoughts as I knit along.
I love knitting and discovered it only 10 years ago. It occupies a lot of my time and is my favorite "reward" for doing things like house cleaning or laundry.
I'm also an avid gardener and that cuts into my knitting time in the spring but well worth it as summer moves along.

My husband is an avid fly fisherman and will be in Alaska for several weeks...so it will be knitting +4. I made sweaters for all the guys going, like the one in my finished projects, fun but 3 of the small was a little boring.

I have 4 grandkids 2 of each variety and 1 wonderful English Springer Spaniel. I get to see my grandson on a regular basis since they live just up the hill, but the little girls are in CA and I don't see them nearly enough. My dog is a constant companion and when I visit CA my daughter's beagles make sure whatever I'm knitting is soft enought to sit on.

Right now I'm working in a lace sweater for myself, will see how long that lasts, as I always seem to give everything away. It is in Wool BamBoo in a wonderful melon color and the pattern is Drifting Dreams Jacket by Jill Vosburg. Great pattern and really fun to knit.
