Pinkness

-
To those of you who have an aversion to pink--and you know who you are--I apologize for what I have done to your brain.

To those of you who love, love, love, pink--and you know who you are--enjoy!

I said that this was the brightest pink on earth. It doesn't look all that bright in this photo, but trust me, it is bright.

It was a good price at an estate sale and enough for a sweater. Worn on a rainy day, it could just brighten someone's day.

Pink looks really good on some people. I believe you are one of those people.

Think it's brightness even shocked the camera lens because the pink looks so tame here.

I went to craft stores in Oct. Pink was all over the place. Breast cancer awareness month. So, pink is in. Enjoy!

Thanks, catspec, for the compliment.

When will I actually work on that yarn? Who knows? (Think you understand that. LOL)

Measure, measure, measure

http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/multi-directional-striped-cardigan For those of you asking to see the cardigan I'm doing in Light Rose--and you know who you are--there will be a wait. Why? Because I didn't heed my own advice of measure, measure, measure. I was knitting the front bands when I realized that the two upper front portions weren't the same length! How in the world did that happen? This sweater is knitted from the left cuff over to the right cuff (basically), so the upper right front is the last knitted for that portion. Usually I do compare and don't know why I didn't this time. For some reason I was knitting more loosely than I normally do; usually, I tend to knit more tightly as I progress. There might have been a way to knit the band and ease in the right side but it probably would be obvious, plus I would know that it was not right. The bottom portion is done by "picking up stitches" and knitting them to the upper portion. For you non-...

A Quilt--My Contribution

Several years ago my SiL got the idea for us to make a quilt for my MiL.  It took us two years before it was completed.   She would do the actual piecing and quilt; I would do the crossstitching of angels.  She handstitched a heart around each angel.             Each thought the other had the harder portion.  LOL. My MiL had been a quilter for decades; my SiL was quite new at it.  I thought she did a great job!   My MiL was quite emotional when she saw what her present was.     The quilt was now in a box in the garage of my FiL's house protecting some serving platters.  A few weeks ago a connection to a hose to the clothes washer split and caused a minor flood in the garage.  I was certain that the box had been out of danger but decided to check it.  It was dry, but upon checking the quilt I noticed that it must have gotten some water damage as the colors had run. ...

Easy Fun Dishcloth

This is a simple fun stitch pattern designed by dfr http://sewingmissadventure.blogspot.com/2012/01/variegated-washcloth-pattern-and.html who is not a professional designer. She's done some very nice items. Dfr made this as a washcloth. Since I wanted a dishcloth I chained 2 more and did more rows as I get fewer rows per inch. Since I noticed that half way through the directions, I wasn't halfway in the size, I added two more rows of the hdc rows in the center. I used an H hook and Peaches & Creme in Shaded Pastels. The finished size is 9 1/2" x 10" including one border round. Give it a try. I would have posted this earlier this week, but I was having trouble with the new digital camera--well, not with the camera, but the operation of.
