Houston .. We have landed

7 1/2 hours

1/2 way done with 2nd end

Need sleep

It shrinkded

Let the felting begin

oh well ..

too tired to stay up & finish the strap
guessin' i have about 3 ft to knit

felting will wait till after the sun comes up

ideas

i have toooo many things in my head DEMANDING that they be knit

will probably knit 2 mini duffels ( to test the patterns ) in the old high school colors

can carry one (& gift one) to the reunion in Oct

ALMOST

not sure how far up i need to go for the top
i can always cut it after felting
there is i-cord up 2 1/2 sides - one to go
theoretically, it will help the purse hold it's shape
contrary to Sarah's belief - this purse belongs to MOI!!!

stuggling w/ shaping but i LOVE IT!!

progress

first tier = smoke triangles

2nd tier = rt leaning colored rectangels

3rd tier = left leaning smoke rectangles

gonna try entrelac

12 stitches is too many

gonna try for 8 st

ripping out & trying again

24 st on the ends & 40 on the sides means all colors are used twice per tier

Both ways

How I sppent my sit in denver

BOKU

Bought this yarn from Stiches n Scones when I lived in Indy prior to June 2007 .. Time to do something with it

Doin the math

So, the yellow bag is 8 1/2" across & 13" around
42 stitches = 8 1/2" AND

nails

Bad nail tech .. Nails didn't stay on .. Gonna use nutra nail .. Sat Ap 10

New hair

Got it cut & colored today .. NO MORE GREY .. And the red is gone too

DONE!!

so

Im prepared .. Bought anchors .. Whoda thunk .. I hit a beam

So I want the bracket 3" down from the crown molding & 17" in from the edge of the wall

well

The wall is bare .. Needs SOMETHING!! The space between the book shelves is 43" .. Wanna hang something 5«wide .. So I gotta hang it?? From the edge

math

1/2 of 43 = 21 1/2 = center of space
Bookshelf is 25"
Item to be hung is 5' (60") wide
Center of item is 46" from edge of bookshelf .. So one bracket goes at 16" from edge of bookshelf

st pat sox

in 2005, i made a pair of st past sox
i lost one - now i gotta reknit them
got 2 weeks (more or less)
got yarn, needles & basic idea

ST PAT's SOX

around 2001, Bethany Lankin created & posted this pattern
for a pair of St Patrick's Day Sock
she even tells what the patterns represent
however, the pattern is NO longer available
So, I bought the pattern from her when i was in Indy
3 years ago - can't find it NOW

today i found the copy i printed off the web a while ago
it's missing the chain pattern above the toes and the snake pattern - so today i played with the wayback machine & i FINDED the pattern :)
glad i found it on the web so I can NOW make the
sock as she designed it
yeah, i will probably knit it in oatmeal, but i don't think
i want worsted / sport weight sox


Sharon knit a pair for her friend Kath
her pattern is slightly different

YIKES!!!

According to MY scale, I weigh 183 pounds ..
Dr scales add 10 .. Gotta start hitting the treadmill .. Wanna fit into my Spring Jeans

pop tab purses

a few years ago, when i was still in Indy (or maybe Fort Wayne) i planned on making one of these. I am sure Debbie Barisa had a hand in getting me to try to make one. After i became a Flight Attendant, i kept saying i would try. Moved to Atlanta where clutches are sold @ the Coca Cola Museum. tried to make one - think i would be better to do it in crochet OR wire - to simulate chain mail ..

there are some websites up now that were NOT up when i first got the idea

1 purse

mostly crocheted

how to crochet one

chain mail - very kewl

IF i make another - it will be more along the line of chain mail than knit
