Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my Ravelry friends!

Cold Hands....

My hands are always freezing at work.  So, I decided to knit a pair of Mitt Envy fingerless gloves.  They were quick and easy to make and I just love the cables.  Might just have to make another pair.

My First Quilting Attempt

Always wanted to learn to quilt but was afraid I would end up with another stash crowding up my house.  Well I conquered that fear and learned to make a log cabin potholder.  They are not perfect but I will be using them.  Now I'm looking to make something else.  Not too big, maybe a placemat. 

My First KAL

I'm going to participate in my first KAL.  I excited and can't wait to get started.  This KAL is the Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL 2013: Color Craving by Stephen West.  It will be a while before I post any pictures for this shawl.  Don't want to ruin it for the others in the KAL.  I'll just include a picture of the yarn I plan on using.

The Shawl

Just finished a shawl for myself.  The air conditioning at work gets so cold, so I decided to make this and keep it at my desk.  I got a little daring and put a few stripes in it.  I love how easy it was to make this Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West.

Rested.....

Just came back from a 7 day cruise to Mexico, Belize and Honduras.  It was good to sit back, relax and read book.  Left the yarn and needles home because it was too hot to knit.  I usually knit less when it gets warmer.  Maybe I'll pick up sewing again.  Gotta clean out that sewing room first.  Ugh, that's a big chore that has me procrastinating.
