Welcome!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit!

It is cold and snowing outside today the perfect day to sit inside and knit!

Yesterday was my birthday and I had a couple friends over and one of my friends was the gal who taught me how to knit and spin! We had a very nice visit and she taught me how to cable while she was here. I can't show you any pictures of my first cabled project yet as it is going to be a Christmas present.

I have been knitting like crazy to try and get all the things I had planned as Christmas presents done. I had someone ask me to make them ten Christmas dish clothes. I loved how they turned out. After Christmas I will have to try and get some pictures posted of all the gifts and things that I made.

Here is a picture of the Christmas dish cloths! Aren't they pretty??

The one on the right is made from cream and sugars mistletoe yarn. I love how the colors turned out! 

These ones I had to switch colors very 8 rows. There was a lot of tails to weave in but I love how it turned out. 

Here are 2 of the patterns I did. The other patterns I used was a checkered stripe.

And here is the spindle I received for my birthday from a dear friend. 

I also got this beautiful yarn with the spindle. Isn't it lovely its called violet dawn.  

It is Merino Wool and it is hand spun and hand painted. 

And I received this marvelous hat also. It has hand spun angora in it! 

And this is the marvelous cake my mom baked me! It is dark chocolate mocha cake with dark chocolate mocha frosting!

Well thats all I have for now I hope you enjoyed your first visit!
