About Me

My photo
I'm married 40 years, and have 3 grown sons, all of whom live in other states. I miss them all terribly. I've been crocheting and knitting for about 38 years now. Nothing fancy, just baby stuff, afghans, and dishcloths. I'm hoping to learn some new techniques, especially felting, using circular needles, and maybe knitting socks. I became a grandma for the first time, and so far only time, 3 1/2 years ago. My granddaughter's name is Lucy and is absolutely adorable! Due to living so very far apart, and a one month hospital stay in 2011, we've only seen her once. I hate living so far apart!

IT'S NOT MINE!!!

In looking back over on comments on my previous entries, I noticed there were references to an online store by the name of "Sleepy's." This store does NOT belong to me. It's NOT mine. I have no connection to it whatsoever! Please take note of this fact. I do not want anyone to think I am ignoring them when they want information about this store. I have NOTHING to do with it!

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Making Progress on Lucy's Sweater

I'm still working on the sweater for Lucy. I did decided to use the Lavender for the ribbing and the Plummy for the body. It's looking pretty good so far. My procrastination gene did kick in again, though. I started the sweater just when I said I would. However, I made a mistake and somehow ended up with an extra 6 stitches by the time I was about a quarter of the way done with the back. So, I had to frog it and start over. I was very disappointed with myself and lost interest. I've picked it back up today and plan on sticking with it this time. I HAVE to stick with it now. If I don't Lucy will outgrow it before I even finish it.  

This is where I am as of right now. The colors are really much brighter than this photo shows.
I have about 3 or 4 more inches to go before I can start the armhole shaping. Once I get to the shaping it's all down hill and will progress quickly. 

I'm really loving this yarn. It's my first time using this variety of Red Heart® yarn. It's nice and soft without having no body to it. I think this is going to be my go-to yarn for garments for Lucy whenever possible.
