Retirement.....

I took an extra day off for this holiday weekend and really, really liked the "at home" lifestyle.  I need to retire and work part time.  That way, I'll have the time to bust through my stash!

First Sweater Ever!!

Been knitting for a year.  Have made many projects.  Have worked my way from size 11 and 15 needles to working with 4's and 5's.  So now am attempting my very first sweaer.  I am almost finished with the back.  And soon will start the two front ends. This is the easy part. In fact its been a bit tedious...all that stockinette stitching. The fronts will be more challenging, since there is a lacy bit.  However,   I am not looking forard to sewing the pieces together, but "hey, it's all a learning experience," she said, aprehensively.

Hmmmm

Apparently, I started a blog.  News to me because bloggins is not really my thing.  So here I am facing a blank page, the second entry will be short.  My first was announcing a giveaway from Sandra Singh.
