Washcloth Sunday?

This was a quick little knit, great for a very hot Sunday.
The heat index today was 111. I needed something cotton to knit today.
I found this pattern on Dave's blog. I have been wanting to try entrelac, but everything ended up being an investment in money and time and I just didn't want to spend it on an experiment.
This was perfect and I think it was a lot of fun.
I pulled out my Brittany's and some Super 10 Butterfly cotton that I had picked up on sale and I'm a happy camper!

Saturday Sky

It is only 98 degrees today.
I think the forecast for tomorrow and Monday is 100!

The sky looked threatening, but the cloud cover didn't help keep the heat away.

I was in Wyoming, MN to help my niece with her knitting. I took these pics on the way there. I was hoping for better sky than what we had in Maple Grove, but the sky looks like this all over the place.

Yes, I am knitting, no, really!

This is my Leaf Lace Shawl.
It's still on the needles, so it's hard to spread it out to take a picture.
I'm using Schaefer's Anne and #5 Addi Turbos.
I like them, but now I want to try the Knit Picks Needles.

See, I am knitting. Just not enough ;-D

Saturday Sky

This was about 9:00 this morning.
I tried to take a picture of a great thunderhead this afternoon, but I had left my camera in movie-mode and I don't know how to load that to this page.
I'm going to work on that, but I really like this one too!

Here's a fun quiz for you!

What Kind of Knitter Are You?

You appear to be a Knitting Goddess. You are constantly giving and are unconcerned with reward, you simply want others to love knitting as much as you do. If someone wants to knit miles of novelty yarns, you are there for them. If someone wants to learn short row shaping, you can help. There are no taboos in knitting, only opportunities to grow. Everyone should have friend like you around if they want to learn to knit, and there's a good chance that your passion has rubbed off on a few others.http://marniemaclean.com

Saturday Sky and a Hat!

Here is my 100 degree Saturday Sky Picture.
I had pretty much forgotten that it could get this hot in MN.

The sky is clear and a beautiful shade of blue.
And I finally finished the Harlequin Cap.
I made it from two Regia Sock yarns that were leftovers.

It must be Saturday!

This is my morning sky.
I managed to get this just minutes before it started raining.
They say we will have scattered storms today.
I can't wait to see all the SKY pictures.
Check them out on the Saturday Sky Blogring.

Bummer!

Good grief! Another wonderful chance to finish the Summer Braids Cardigan
and I haven't done it. I have started up the back and then I will finish the two fronts and then the sleeves ...

It really does look great, just not complete ;-(

Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

Saturday Sky

Sandy has shared her button and we are planning on posting a picture of 'Our Sky' on Saturdays.
It just sounded like a fun idea.

If you want to join, please steal the button (don't link to it). Thank you!

I thought I should include some chocolate ;-0

What cute animal are you?

I'm sorry there isn't a picture of my progress, but there is no sunshine.
Just a HUGE thunderstorm.
So here is a fun quiz for you.
Can you believe that I'm a cute frog?

You Are A: Frog!

Independent yet still part of a large community, frogs are unique creatures known for their distinctive sound and ability to hop. As a frog, you spend your days sitting on lily pads or climbing trees, searching for delicious insects to eat. While there are some frogs that aren't exactly cute, you are certainly not one of those!

You were almost a: Parakeet or a Monkey
You are least like a: Lamb or a BunnyTake the Cute Animal Test!

My Plan for "Knitting World Cup"

I have decided to jump onto the "Knitting World Cup" bandwagon. I will continue with my project that I started for the "Knitting Olympics".

I am knitting with red Butterfly 10 Cotton. I think I am up to the point where you split the fronts from the back.

I'll try to get a picture of my progress tomorrow when there is some sunlight.

Nuff said!

Knitting World Cup

First the Yarn Harlot started the Knitting Olympics and now we have the Knitting World Cup!
Casting on June 9 at 11 am. CDT and continuing until the final whistle on July 9, 2006. I think I will just knit the sweater that I was working during the Knitting Olympics. Maybe I'll get to wear it this year!

If you are interested, you can find the web page HERE.


And if you are a spinner, there will be the
Tour de Fleece starting on July 1, 2006.
You can get more information HERE.

Leaf Lace Shawl

I finally finished and blocked the Leaf Lace Shawl. It is a Fibertrends pattern and I used 8 ply Wool Pak from Babajoe's. I have already used it. I always take a wrap to the movies because they keep it so cold in there.

If you have heard of podcasts and would like to listen to one of my favorites, click on the button of the spinner with the iPod. Brenda Dayne talks about her knitting and plays independent music and I really do enjoy it.

Quiz Time!

Which Spindle Are You?

Love the Grandbaby and her Grandpa!


The hat is from Li'l Sunhats by Chris de Longpre (2003) and I used Clip cotton by ? (oops, don't remember).
