Most Assuredly

Well, it looks as though I will not be able to finish that purple and white afghan in time for my grandmother's birthday as planned, which bums me out a bit. But since she is feeling better and is traveling, staying with my aunt in Boise, and is not likely to be at home for her birthday, I probably have some more time to finish her present for her.

I do remember days when I spent every waking moment outside of work with yarn in one hand and some sort of tool in the other, knitting needles or crochet hooks. Where has the time gone and when did I get to be so exhausted?

At Last, Some Pictures

The start design afghan is one that I made years ago and put up for a while. I recently finished it with the white border. The poor thing, I think it moved with me twice.

The purple and white afghan is done with a double-ended crochet hook, producing a similar design on each side, but with a different dominant color. This is a birthday present for my grandmother.

Tickling Time

So, the pictures are in the works, so to speak, and I am busily trying to figure out how to move them from my phone/camera to this site.

I am working on birthday and holiday presents right now, particularly the reversible blanket for my grandmother, which must be done in about a month, and the lace tablecloth for my mother, which is her intended Christmas present.

Trying to be ambitious, I am intending to finish a pair of socks, a crocheted hat, a knit hat, and perhaps even a knit scarf by Christmastime, or shortly thereafter.

Striving Again for Remembrance

I have found it to be quite literally true, I have no real pictures of projects I have done. Disappointing? Yes, I should have been more careful in (b)logging those pieces so that I could show them off to a whole new crowd.

That was then, as they say. I do have projects in the works, all very much worth my time and attention, and I have plans for more. These will be photographed, oh yes indeedy, these will be photographed. Or we'll have a seance and bring Shakespeare back to write sonnets about them, whichever works out more easily.

Taking Pictures

I didn't realize when I started out that I don't have much by way of pictures of my past work, only a few of some larger projects. Too bad, since many of those hats, scarves, blankets, etc. were made for other people and no longer here to be photographed (some went overseas too).

Since I have some wonderful projects in the works, a lace tablecloth, a reversible afghan made with a double-ended hook, socks, other Christmas projects, I will be better able to provide a few pictures here. That is my goal!

Lots of Work for Sure

I see that I will most likely have to present this site with some examples of a man who knits. What could such a man actually make?

Actually, he makes a lots of beautiful things for those who are close to him. You might be surprised!
