When you are taking pics of your self in the mirror in the bathroom you can't necessarily expect them to look great--but I think the shawl looks wonderful. I love the size of it--and the color is so striking--one of the colors that look the best on me. I am sure I will get a lot of use out of this shawl that I won in a contest on Grace's Blog "Lovin' Comfort Knits".

Grace has a wonderful blog. She writes about life and knitting. Joy and Sorrow, Sickness and Health, just life in general. She is a very regular poster--a downfall for me right now--but such is life. I try. Thank you Grace for being who you are and allowing us to share in your life. Happy knitting to all. Oh yes--thx for the gorgeous shawl Grace. I will think of you every time I wear it.

Crafty Corner and a Contest

Run on over to Knitty Sue's for a great contest.

Here is my knitting corner. It is at the end of my couch on the coffee table and on the floor beside the couch. On the coffee table you will find much. A container with needles--7" wooden needles--dpn's--some circular needles. A smaller container with notions--row counters, stitch holders, crochet hooks, darning needles, scissors, tape measurer, and God only knows what else--pens index cards etc. Some dishcloth cotton for that instant gratification knitting. A finished scarf--a coupla finished dishcloths. Beside the couch are project bags with wips--and some with needles and crochet hooks--and some with sock yarn. In the space under the coffee table are knitting books and knitting magazines. Also lots and lots of patterns on the top of the coffee table--and a crossword puzzle book for when I need a diversion. I certainly don't have to move to keep myself knitting or crocheting. Thx Knitty Sue for the fun contest. What is in your knitting corner? Happy Knitting.

Prize and Let It Snow

Well, here it is--the prize that I won from the contest on Jane's blog. I love the book and the yarn and can't wait to use them both--but it will happen after I finish my Einstein Coat. I am not sure yet what I am going to make--but I plan to use the yarn with a pattern from the book.

And in the weather--Yikes!! We are now on our third major snowstorm this season. We are expecting at least another foot of snow. The last 2 major snowstorms dumped about 14" on us. That was each snowstorm. And we have had lots of 2-6" snow storms in between. Ah well, lots of time to knit. Not going anywhere, and very grateful I did not pick up at work today.

Happy Knitting!!

I Won!

Run on over to Jane's blog and check it out--then you can come back and congratulate me. I very rarely enter contests anymore--but I really liked this one. Jane is thinking of retiring soon--and I am sure will make the right decision for her. I will post pics when I get the prize.
