Such an exciting moment
when you come to that
last stitch
on the needles
and shout out with joy
I'm done!
All that's left
is weaving in the ends
and trying them out.
Such a soft wool
and
such a needed pair of
fingerless gloves.
Sister Tina
made me a pair years ago
(we were talking and it has been more
years than I thought...yikes!)
I wore the heck out of those
gloves
they started developing little holes
near the thumb
which proved to be
my driving force to get these finished.
Because
once you own a pair
it is hard to turn back
they see you through
those cool fall nights
right until
Spring chills
I wear mine all winter too
for quick trips to the store
and
well
just about every day.
The big daddy's are reserved
for shoveling
and
sledding
only.
With that sense of accomplishment
grabbing hold
I turned my attention to
Kierstin's Slouchy Hat
which will
have to wait until her birthday
to be put on her
cute little head
Those blues
are going to really make
her baby blues
sparkle
the pattern is reversible
with a slight variation
in the design
here's the flip
side
don't look too close
there are a few
unique stitches
that I have come to embrace
with memories
of
mimosas.
I've learned to
knit responsibly!
I may not be the
fastest knitter
or
the most proficient
(alcohol or not)
but for some strange reason
I enjoy having a project
on the needles
maybe it's because
when the snow falls
and oh
how it has been falling
and the guys are happily watching
another movie
I get antsy
and
need to keep busy
doing something
I think I've decided on
my next something.
Thank you
Tina
for sharing.
I'm heading to
Vintage Yarn's today
and who knows
*warning*
you just might get some company
to get me started on the right road
to this bias loop.
Did I mention...
Tina is the proficient knitter
of the family
(no slam intended, Susie :)
and
it's always a good excuse to
stop for a visit!
Once yarn is in hand...
I'm gonna say it,
Let it Snow!
;)
Would love to see you!
