Good Times

 We have had a special visitor for a few day.  I am trying not to over do it, but of course I am failing miserably.  We are having a great time.  I am sure we will pack as much fun as we can into this time. 

In other news. My feet have made it down to a medium width.  No wonder I was sliding out of some old favorite shoes.  I found a pair I was looking for in an independent shoe store in Massachusetts.  They are a discontinued shoe from the manufacturer. So I was very lucky to get a pair in the color and size I wanted.

I am revisiting my Handspun Sherbet Shawl pattern and knitting it in a lace weight yarn. On US 4 knitting needles.  Yes, I am actually enjoying knitting with this yarn from Queensland.  I am actually very mindful when knitting with this yarn. I picked up the yarn on LYS day at Grandmas Spinning Wheel here in Tucson.  I will release a sister pattern when I am done.  I am so far behind in getting new patterns out of the house.  

Please remember that Monday is a solemn Day for many people in the military and Gold Star families.  This is a day to remember the sacrifices of many good men and women so that we may enjoy our freedom.  Please be extra kind this weekend.  

Finished

I finished 3 knitting projects today. Pictures and row counts will follow when I am more awake. The 2 new patterns will follow once the items have been blocked, photographs, data collected and the patterns typed up. I also started working on a new UFO and it should be ready for summer.  I am using the Hand Spun  Sherbet Shawl pattern on Raverly with 2 zourballs of yarn.  and US sized 4 circulars. Don’t be afraid to try my patterns with different yarns and knitting needles.  Just use the right size knitting needles for the yarn.  Have fun knitting.
