Back from yet another brief vacation

What's New...


still charity knitting.



FINISHED book #7, read it very slowly to enjoy as it is the last one. So good.



And most exciting of all...I am almost there on Ravelry.

I am #9188 and there are actually only 72 people left to go still in front of me.

AMAZINGLY, there are 16,917 people now still waiting behind me. I can't wait........


As for the short row socks, I turned the heel, this is a horrible picture, but a quick scan just to show you yes I figured it out. they are taking forever as they are on ZERO needles, but I heard there are actually Triple zero needles out there. YIKES.

Meanwhile, back at the knitting ranch, so to speak, I have gone off the beaten path yet again. the apple is crocheted. oops...sorry fellow knitters, I took a walk on the wild side, but then I crocheted long before I knitted, so I guess I'm going back to my roots....

the other project, is actually quite large, and when finished, I will film with a camera and not quick squish it into my scanner, as I do for fast photos....I am trying for a knitted basket in basket stitch of course....pattern does not exist, when finished I can print the pattern for anyone wanting it, as I have written it as I go.....there will be an I-Cord basket handle, not attached yet as basket is still being knitted. and of course the green apples fit into the basket. There are mucho lots of parts to this project. hope to show a few each week. So be sure and stay tuned to see what crazy things I am knitting yet for this project.............................
