Woo Hoo Knitting!


I spent 4 glorious days in Florida with my sister-in-law from New Mexico and my mother sitting by the poolside catching a tan and knitting! We had so much fun! It was a riot to see us relaxing on beach chairs in swim suits knitting away.

My sister-in-law hadn't knitted in a long time, but she picked it back up in no time. Of course, she keeps making little mistakes, so she says she's editing the pattern! She is so funny! She is knitting a sweater with the self striping Noro Silk Garden in beautiful blues and greens. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!

My mom is working on a lace wrap in a soft cotton yarn by Misti International. She's almost done so we've selected a nice cotton blend (Touche I think it's called) from Berroco that she will make a sweater out of.

For my project, I have several going, but the most interesting is the Lizard Ridge Afghan. You make 24 squares of self striping yarn and put them together in the color fashion you desire. I'm using 24 different colors of Noro Kureyon. It's going to be a loooooong project!

Talk to you soon!
Keep knittin!
