Here we go again



Hopefully this will be the last bout of arctic cold front, the high today was 17 with a wind chill of -3 and  in the morning the wind chill will be around -12.   
I did as little as possible outside, tended to the girls.
What I ended up doing was working on our taxes and we were able to get them completed and ready to be sent off.
And it was a perfect day also for a pot beans and ham, with of course a batch of corn bread. Now that is what I call comfort food.


So now it's some TV time, hot chocolate and knitting.
I figure I'm undecided and will work on two projects this evening. I have a scarf I started for a friend and do not have much more left.


Then the sweaters for the "little dudes" are also close to be being done but doubt if I'll get them completed tonight.

The first one is almost completed
I need to lengthen the sleeves and sew it up, as you can see I had just pinned it together so I could try it on the boys. Isn't Ben cute.
I had someone ask me for the pattern I am using to make these and this is it.

    Oh, what cute "little dude" sweaters. And a cute "little dude" too. I'm surprised he cooperated with modeling. How sweet is that!

    I love that pattern, have the directions and have no idea how to make it so it fits my grand daughters. Any suggestions? Did you just start with the pattern and knit away and then try on? And, he is definitely too cute for words!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
