Precious Book

I received another knitting birthday gift yesterday. It was from a knitting friend, Martha. This is a beautiful precious book. It is so much fun to look through. There are many old pictures of people knitting. The articles are great. This book will give me many hours of pleasure! Thanks Martha!!

Birthday Gifts!

Today is my birthday! When I came downstairs this morning to get some coffee, Mr. McGuyver left some gifts for me before he went to work. I'm very excited to get the sweater wizard. Since I have to adjust patterns this will be a big help. My niece sent me a gift certificate from Patternworks. It came with their spring update catalog. I spent some time at the lake this weekend looking through it thinking of what I'll get. I will spend it wisely!

Sam's Scarf!

I'm just finishing up Samantha's scarf. I just have to finish the border and put on the fringe. This will be a surprise for her. In January, I made her brother a cable scarf that he wanted to take to a skating party. He sent me a picture of himself wearing the scarf. He looked very cute!

I promised that I would knit at least two scarfs before December and I have to keep on track. I usually have more knitting time in the summer since we spend a lot of time at the lake. Well, Memorial weekend is coming -- the official start of summer!

Dermatologist Approved!


I was knitting this hat at the Dermatologist's office the other day. My doctor came in and looked at it and said "That hat is dermatologist approved!!" This was a free pattern given by Bobbie at the Knittapalooza retreat in March. I have made three so far. They will make great little gifts.
