The Internets Win Again

So problem solved! I want to thank TECHknitting for the answer to the separating stands issue. I did a random Google search with the hope that someone else has had the same problem I had and had the solution for it. To say I found a gold mine in the TECHknitting blog is an understatement. For any knitters new and old I highly recommend this blog. There are excellent written instructions and wonderful illustrations that actually help. I could write and entire post praising this blog... It's going to be my go to for any issues I have in the future Thank you TK!!!

Knit Crochet Blog Week Day One

Day One (Monday 11th May): If You Were Yarn. If you were a type or brand of yarn, which would you be? Are you a classic pure wool? Is there extra tension but a bit of bounce in you because of your high twist? Would you be more like a high-maintenance, strictly hand-wash fluffy angora or a ‘bring it on’ acrylic, bravely heading into the world of possible baby-sick laundering disasters knowing that you will always come out bright and unharmed? If I had been asked this question back in January of 2014 I think my answer would be very different from the one I'm about to give today. Since that time I have started my second new job and have moved my entire household to a smaller city. Granted the move was what I wanted, but there has been a transition period for me after leaving everything I'd known and become accustomed to behind after 12 years. I've made new friends twice, gotten used to different policie...

Year of Projects: Week 45

No post last week as we were all down with a nasty stomach bug. I finally started feeling better on Friday. I didn't get very much done because of it. I didn't even get out of bed last Sunday. I was able to finish the Sunset Hat . I think it turned out nicely. I was worried the Glitter and the Sunset colorways would be too similar, which is why I put the English Rose in between them, but I think the combo works pretty well. I finished up one more dish cloth; another Star Fish type so I won't post another identical picture. I've made one more dishcloth since the Nerdopolis tournament ended on the 30th. We're in a break month now. I had hoped to get a few rows done on my Holden shawl, but that didn't happen. I'm going to try to get it done this month. There is a fiber festival in June, the CNY Fiber Fest, so I'm starting to plan for that. I went last year and it was very fun....

YOP: Week 30 Lewis County Fair 24

I wanted to do a quick update about the Fair. We kept it really low key this year. I entered 10 items into the fair and we only went one day to just look around. We refrained from rides and excessive amounts of fair food. So, onto my entries: I entered: a sewn tote bag, which I think I blogged about a few weeks ago. It got first place then went on to win Best in Show. Sewn Tote with Best in Show ribbon I also entered the beaded shawl I finished in June, that also won a blue ribbon and went on to receive Best in Show. Beaded Holden mixed among other Best in Show items Six of my other items also won blue ribbons: Liara's socks Mandy Cowl Killer Queen Cowl Clean Windmill Dishcloth set Sacket's Harbor Mittens and Drops of Spring Fingerless Mitts The second place ribbon I received for my Hum Beanie is also in this picture. Then I received third place for Sunset Hat. The first and second place entries for this class are in this picture ...
