Santa is getting ready

Wade Hamilton has tried on his Santa suit getting ready for the big day...................

A Finish at LAST

At long last I am able to get into the studio and finish something...............  When I first started this dress I had problems with my pleater and that rather put me off the project...........

Last week my dear sister called to say that she was a proud grandmother of a darling girl.......... This dress is a six months so I wanted to get it done and in the mail.  The last two girls I planned to send it to have outgrown it already......

Now to make a couple more in a larger size for them.

On The Needles Friday

 Some progress has been made on one sock........  Maybe I can finish it this weekend... Then on to sock two.

I did take a break and make a couple of pairs of preemie socks.........

I would have more made but inattention caused a problem.........  On this sock I decided to turn the heel twice.............

While I was making socks Rebekah made preemie hats...............  She is staying with us for awhile...  It is good to have her here..............

Check with Judy Laquidara HERE for other things happening in the knitting world.

Catching Up

This year I got behind while getting ready for the holidays.........  So what else is new........

In anticipation of being able to blog frequently again I am posting a few things that happened before Thanksgiving...........

These Prayer Shawls were made by my friend Marilyn.............  Several of us starting meeting each week at her home and knitting or whatever caught our fancy.............

For one of those occasions I made a Pumpkin Cake.............  Not having a full size bundt pan I used a small one so I ended up with a little pumpkin...........

Also during that time a dear friend came by with a gift..............  Isn't it lovely?

And look at that glorious bloom............I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends..........

Tomorrow is On The Needles Friday and I will even have something for that occasion.
