here is the sweater I made for little Shelby. She is so tiny I had to do a lot of adapting. I sure hope it fits. if not, they can always give it away.

Yeah, I know I'm slow. Now that winter is almost (hopefully) over, I knit a wimple. I have had the yarn for a long time but couldn't decide what to do with it. Then I ran across the feather and fan wimple pattern on the net. Perfect!!

newest knit

I hope to finish up this sweater before church tomorrow only about 10 more rows and its finished!

lace

 

I decided to lace and bead the bottom of a shawl.

almost done with the green and white sweater. will put up a pic when its all sewn together. i think i may get to sit out on the deck today. its supposed to be in the low 50's. woohoo! I need to get some bible study done and go to a dental appointment and today is monroe's grandparents day. so the afternoon is filled. There is a new bible study starting on tuesday nights and i have been thinking of going to it. soooo this could end up a long day for me. i may not get that sweater finished today after all.

here is the left front, so far. not working too fast because the hands and fingers are hurting some. we were snowed in this morning but larry dug us out. crazy boy!!

 

 

mary, here is the yarn for the sweater i told u about

 

Here is the 3rd sweater I made. I got a new magazine the other day. Maybe I will be able to break away from this style of sweater. (It was all Mary's fault. She is the one who pointed it out and said she was going to make one). Anyhooo.... I will try to find something, anything else to knit.

I will try to be more faithful to blogging. Maybe doing it first thing after bible reading and prayer. Well.....sounds like a plan anyway.

This year should be a very interesting one for Christians. With all the unrest going on in Israel. For all the believers it is a very exciting time.

looking forward and upward, glenna <><

All done!
As you can see there is a dilemma in where to start with any certain shading. But I am happy with the outcome. May even wear it tonite at church. Larry had a lot of computer work to catch up on and listening to several sites. so I took all that quiet time and finished my sweater.

can you believe I have started a third. the thing is I bought this yarn and could never decide what to make of it. I did have to buy a second skein with the yellow but Larry found one (the last one) in the same JoAnn's. Whew!! wouldn't that break your heart to get all that work done and not have quite enough to finish? well pick up your pointy sticks and knit.

yesterday we finished watching the Inspector Lynley series. by the time we watched the final series (6) I began to like it. hahaha

Oh man!

here's a preview of the blue sweater.I didn't like the way the right front was coming out kind of weird, so I frogged it. I rolled the yarn out until I thought it would match up with the left front and started again. It's ok though because I like the way it looks now. the fronts match each other and the sleeves match each other. just dont ask me to turn around. lol

I hope you like the new blog look. it was fun to pick out a new background. woohoo!

oh yes, today is my little sisters b-day
and her best friends b-day is saturday, making her three days younger as she is fond of reminding her

tired

I am so tired. Larry has put in an enormous amount of hours this weekend. I am now scared for his health. He said he may be finished by the time i get out of bible study and we may go catch lunch together.

I have almost finished the blues sweater. the fronts don't match up as far as the stripping goes. I may not like it at all. but now i know how I will start the fronts and sleeves at the same place on the wine/camel one. It is a different type of stripping so it may be easier to match. I will post a pic once i get it finished.

And Mary, where are you??? Have you been under the weather?

way early

Im going over to the Hobblits house this fine a.m. and yes its way early. i almost have the sleeve done for the sweater. this is one of those subtle stripe yarns and for some reason, the sleeves are turning out identical. wonder if I can do that for the right front? oh well, its just weird.

 

I finally finished the pale yellow sweater. I put the black shell under it for definition. It turned out pretty good. I am making one of varigated blues now.

sweater time in indiana

I now have both sides sewn on at the shoulders and the band attached at the neck.
the weather is threatening rain and i wish it would just do it and blow away.

For all who know and love precept bible studies, we are in 2nd Timothy. For such a small letter it is packed with so much instruction, and warning for the church. Wow!

well, i guess i had better straighten the house and finish knitting the sleeves. I will post a pictur when it is finished.

by the by, see my beautiful new wood floor? I LOVE IT!!!but I do have to be careful to not slip on it. (wouldn't want to put my new hips out of whack!)

Have a blessed day
Maranatha!

Sweater wear

 
Hey Mary!!
here is the sweater so far. around 7 inches or so. I haven't been knitting anything since you left i started on a shawl with this yarn but when i got my magazine and you said you were making the sweater, i decided to knit the same one. i had better get a move on. winter is creeping in like a lamb.

hope gary is well, as well as the other lesters.

larry and i are fine. work is dribbling in. i may soon be on a forced diet. hahahahaha

well, the Lord provides, as always. no frets.

Sinfonia

Has anyone else tried this yarn? It comes in some awesome colors. (Socks is what I am making with it ;) 

remembering? who will ever forget

I have been knitting as much as I can on this poncho. It is almost ready to be cast off, and sewn up. It helped having that 5 hour movie on television remembering 9/11. Who could ever forget?
