A long lost friend

It has been such a long time since I have posted anything about knitting.  My world has been full of sewing and crafty things going on with the kids.  I understand the natural ebb and flow of these things.  The spurts of knitting then sewing then knitting then sewing.  Maybe it is time to pick up the needles again.  While I am STILL working on these for my hubby, something of a quick knit is on order.  I think that Shroom maybe the answer.  A way to get into the stash, create something quick, cute, and have some fiber therapy at the same time.  Right now I am loving Que Sera out right now on Knitty. 

  How cute is that sweater??!!  Of course I LOVE the entire outfit.  The sweater is MUCH more of a challenge and I think when I am back in full knitting mode, it maybe a possibility.  In the meantime, I will start slow with quick projects, try to finish up what is on the needles now, and get those sewing projects done.  Sounds like a crafty house cleaning project?!

Sipping and Knitting

We had a special Easter weekend this year. My sis flew in for the weekend and we had a gals knitting weekend. We hit the local yarn shops and then settled in to knit our day away. Actually we knit well into the night as well. Projects ranged from dishcloths, sweater, socks, and the clapotis. We worked on swifting yarns in the stash while talking and sipping cosmos. Anna and I worked hard on getting our clapotis projects started. I really love how the yarn is knitting up. Can't wait till this is finished!!

Swifting some stash!

How Very Fetching

I finally finished Fetching!! I have been meaning to get these knit up and sent to a friend of mine. Now they are DONE and I AM going to get these in mail to her. The pattern is from knitty and is very popular on Ravelry. This was a very easy knit. The pattern was easy to read and understand. I also LOVE the cable detail at the bottom. It always makes a pattern a little more exciting when you can add a cable.

The recipient is my Earth Mama Hero. She has an amazing green thumb and grows her own veggies, fruits and herbs, has chickens, cooks such wonderful meals that make you feel you good inside and out. She lives in the beautiful state of Washington (so jealous!) with her cute family. I am so glad to have her as a friend. I cannot wait to get her reaction!!
