Giggles, Grins, Knitting, Spinning and Hooking!!!

Ok so does this look like a proud little boy???? He is walking NOW!!! Oh my goodness is he ever happy with himself. We laugh non stop, he is a dancing fool! Hard to take pictures of that though!! Oh goodnessjust when I think I have 3 too many kidlings, they all do something sweet and make me smile and melt my heart.......this was that moment today........without too many details it was a horribly LOOOOOOOOOOONG day. Nothing serious, just kids being kids at thier most interestingly, worst!














So my therapies have been as such! Spinnnnnnn Spinnnnnn Spinning!!! This is some Merino that Miss S wants a hat or mittens out of. I plan to 2 ply this when I am done the singles! Notice the other full bobbin on the lazy susan!! WOOOHOOO......BUT yet I hav a whole nother ball of it!!

















See how much more even they look. I love it! I can feel my technique evolving! Even without a guiding hand! Although if anyone has any
advice I would be happy to hear it!










This is the finished hat. I am not exactly happy with it. I am going to be done with it, cause it is kinda yummy but I think it needds to be deeper or something. It is just not how I sort of saw it as I was planning it. I could rip it back but I just really don't feel like it!!












This is what I am starting. I sw one of these in real life and they are TOOOOOOOOOOOO cute and I have to say I think it is going to be easy peasy!










Ok so wednesday night I was told that I am a natural hooker!!! Hmmmm now since when is that a compliment to be proud of?????? Well when you are talking about rug hooking of course. I have so many ideas! This is done with wool and the finished priduct is hierloom quality. They say it will last 100 years. I absolutely love it! And it is easy!!!! This is a 10inch round pillow and I am ALMOST done/........More so than this picture shows!



This is another hat to be. It is bound to make me unhappy. I am never happy with anything I create on my own, but I guess we al have to start somewhere!










This is a pair of toe up jaywalkers! I am adjusting the pattern so they can be knit on size 5's and toe up so it is a bit different but so far they look pretty good!


Can you tell I have a bit of start-itis? It's all good though cause eventually it will lead to finish-itis when I get overwhelemed with how many projects I have going at once!!!!

Does anyone read blogs anymore? Since Ravelry I find myself in a blog rut!!!

Wow the spinning looks great. I wish I could offer some advice, but I'm not the best at it. I tend to overly twist everything, even though I try (very hard) not to! Little B looks so pleased with himself!

I turned on the messaging thing in Ravelry (I think) but haven't had a chance to get back to it. The weekends are always too short for everything that needs to be done!

YAY for Little B! He's so darned adorable! Will you mail him to me? Just for a little while? :)

The spinning looks like it's going well. I can't wait to see the pretties you make with your very own yarn!
