I'm a Follower

Huh, I just figured out how to follow the blogs of friends and family. There is a place on my blog where I put in my friends blogs and VOILA, all I do is click on them and read the latest post.
I'm not too Internet/blog savvy but every once in a while I get lucky.

Earl's Christmas hat


We have a grandson that loves everything Pirate, sooooo, I made him a winter hat.
Paul was good enough to model it for the picture.
Not bad for a first attempt!

Paul's new Sweater





With all the time we're spending in Las Vegas, you'd think I'd see some shows or Do something else more interesting, NOT so!!!


Paul has only enough energy to go to the doctors office everyday. So, I've gone to the local yarn shop and knit a few items.


Here is the biggest and most time consuming item.


I know it looks like a Fair Isle knit but it's the print of the yarn that makes it look like that. It took 3 weeks of concentrated knitting.


I've also made a sweater for me and a Qiviut yarn cap for Paul to wear in the Alaska winters (that is, if we ever get home). Qiviat is the musk ox yarn that is the warmest wool anywhere.

I'm having trouble with blogger uploading more pictures right now. I'll have to see if I can post the other sweater and smoke ring I made at another time.
