Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms.

Knitterly Thoughts

I knit with such a frenzy in the last three months that I'm almost *gasp* knitted out!  In fact, my brain's been so fried the best I can do at the moment is a dishcloth and that is taking me more than a week!  But there is light at the end of the tunnel - after the dishcloth is finished, I'll be designing and knitting my own version of a pony tail hat.  I've researched patterns and haven't found anything I really like so I thought "why not!"  I have a friend whose daughter wants one in bright pink.  I have the yarn, Full o' Sheep in Peony.  I can't wait to get started!  So I guess I'll have to finish that dishcloth soon!

After the hat, I'll be starting a neckwarmer using Reynolds Caviar yarn in a gorgeous purply blue with a gold thread.  I'm hoping it will be stunning!  So this is my plan for January so far...  I'm also hoping to learn how to spin a little bit later this month.  A friend let me know of a beginner's class that is a one night only thing and I'm pretty interested!  Even if it's only to learn something new and I never do it again, at least I will have tried something different!  Yay, me!

Ok, keeping this short today - the wild man is patiently (not) waiting for me to play Donkey Kong with him :)  LOL!

Be safe and happy knitting!

  3. I can't wait to see the sweater on him either. Thanks for the table runner love. I'm thinking of making another in different colors so that I can change things around for the different seasons/holidays that come around. Glenn's sweater is being made in sections with the pattern I'm using. Not so bad being I learned how to seam things together the right way now. Can't wait to see how your pony tail hat turns out with the gorgeous pink you are using. :) Love your snowman in the other post!
    Awesome!!!
