Lovely Kitty Pi



Wow



The kitty pi is so cute! I hope Cleo loves it as much as I do! Otherwise...it'll make a great knitting basket! That's not an idle threat, Cleo! Herre's the foto -- as soon as she hops in, I'll share another picture.

Thanksgiving - such an appropriate name





Thank goodness for Thanksgiving holiday and school break. Anastacia arrived just in time to set me straight on the Wyvern socks pattern. I had been slogging along, not even caring anymore, about following the pattern. I was really "flummoxed" (word of the week.) Hopelessly lost. So, here is the status of Wyvern, with all its flaws -- and I'm going to work on them today. I hope they coordinate nicely with my new fleece top. Mi hija -- how much more should I knit before turning the heel?

Thanks, Carloz, for loaning me everything (I'm not worthy!) ... the laptop, the camera ... the professional tech help. What would I do without you? Thanks for your big heart.

I'm a member of the group who LOVE to have the cold weather start!! My only issue is "popsicle toes" and ankles. The rest of me is waaaay overheated! But now...I only want to put on the Wyvern socks ... so I better get to it!

It was so much fun to see Anastacia make stitch markers!! They're beautiful!! I just wanna keep 'em all to myself! But, maybe some friends would like a few also. 'Tis the season after all. Well...maybe we can sell a few of them...and hoard the rest!!

I discover socks!

Have discovered the joy of knitting socks. The work fits in my purse, I pull it out and surprise everyone! I've given up the thought of knitting the pattern perfectly. I'm not connecting with the instructions... yet. I'll get it by the time I'm done with the first sock. The second one will be beautiful and quite good, I'm sure!

Check out the link on my listing of works in progress, to see what a beautiful sock pattern this is. I'm knitting it in that cute pink color...see a previous blog.

It's now time to think ahead...what will I knit next? Check out these most precious pugs with their custom sweaters! I don't have a pug, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to knit a sweater like one of these!! http://marniemaclean.com/words/images/1105/villagenews.jpg

Mar de SueÑos


I stole that title from a movie that´s just been released in México.

Still in Sta. Rosalía. Here´s the completed Kitty Pi -- lovely ¨Mexicana¨ color eyelash yarn decorates the top.

Am now diligently working on the Wyvern socks. Picture another day.

tejidos en el mar


Well, finally finished the Kitty Pi, while gazing upon the Sea of Cortez. The color is great -- sea-wise and kitty bed-wise. The eyelash yarn is ¨mexicana¨ -- how appropriate! I forgot to bring the picture with me. Meanwhile, here´s a picture of me at La Pinta Hotel in CataviÑa, Baja California Norte.

Next, must gather strength to continue work on the Wyvern socks! I won´t give up.
