I knit. Some might say I knit a lot. I have a walk in closet full of yarn with some spilling out into 2 large cabinets in my craft room and a three tiered basket in my living room.I knit whenever I can. Riding in the car or on a plane. Waiting in doctor's offices and sometimes even in restaurants.
My knitting habits serves two purposes. 1. It helps me relax and keeps me sane. 2. My finished projects make great gifts or garments for myself.
Posted her are a beautiful pair of mittens I made for a co-workers teenaged daughter. The mittens are based on the ones worn by Bella in the movie Twilight. My friends daughter loves all things from Twilight.
Another recent project is a pair of fingerless gloves I made from a free pattern I found at knitty.com. These are the red ones. They are so soft. The hat above was inspired by a hat knit by a friend of mine that was on display at the new Green Mt Fibers in Rutland. I purchased the yarn on my last trip home.
I am now working on a sweater for Jennifer, a pair of socks and a Jacket for me. That is in addition to the sewing I want to do. I don't have enough time for my hobbies. I need to win the lottery or come into money some other way so I can spend more time doing what I love.
Other than that not much is new in my life. We are surviving the winter much like everybody else. I am very optimistic that soon the economy will turn around and people will stop losing their jobs. Lets hope our new president delivers on his promises. I would like to hear from all of you so drop me a line or a note. Call me, collect if need be. Love ya!
