January bliss

By -


This is my dog's January bliss. This is mine: Marie found the blog and asked for my shawl pattern. Sure I'll share.

I used:
2 skeins of NORO that I love
a 29 inch circular needle to make gauge.
I used 11's.
Gauge: 10sts/4inches

I modified a simple shawl pattern found at frugalknit12330.goeserv.com/homepage/shawl.htm
Or search Frugal Knitting Haus Free Pattern

I followed the directions with this variation:

Every 5th row or so, I did a row of:
K1 *YO, K2Tog* to the final K1.

I had enough yarn to finish the shawl with the following measurements:
15inches at its tallest, and 67 inches wide.

I hope if Marie decides to use her Noro, she'll send me photo: harpnut@gmail.com. I'd love to post it.

Love the picture!

Missed you at GROUP tonight. It was just Lynae and me. I think the weather frightened people off maybe -- since the next meeting lands on Valentine's Day we were thinking of meeting on the 1st and 4th Tuesdays next month. What do you think?

OK, so which shawl is that a pattern for??? The christmas, put in the freezer for an hour, shawl? Or is it a different one? Is there a completed pix?

y'know, you can't be tempting the knitters out there without a pix of the project! (tee hee).

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the photo. Your puppy has the HUGEST smile on his face. He does! You see it, right?

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
