does anyone blog anymore? or for that matter, knit any more?

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!
A COUPLE OF GIFTS I RECEIVED AND ONE NOT SHOWN BUT COMING SOON, CAUSE IT'S ABOUT KNITTING.

more yarn.............

well did i listen to me when i said "no more yarn" i guess not.
last month i was up in michigan, boy was the color change beautiful, went up for R and R and just got lucky with the colors.
long story short, found a wonderful heavenly LYS in Petoskey. fell in love with this shop along with some must have patterns and yarn. Berroco and i have a love affair going.
So now my yarn stash has some new, many, many new friends to hang with.
working on a pair of socks from the book " favorite socks" the book we all own. going slowly cause of my hands, but going never the less.
the yarn i bought is berroco's vintage for a sweater in their vintage family book along with some berroco comfort yarn for an afghan pattern i found on line.
I promise if i ever knit it i will post a picture.
blogging mostly for me is my journal cause nobody reads my blog.
Oh and by the way, i registered yesterday for an oil painting class at CLC the local community college here in town. i'm looking forward to getting a brush back in my hand.
happy knitting to all my blogger friends.

Beautiful.........

AMAZED

yes, i'm amazed at how many people don't read my blog and how some blogs have zillions of followers. i know i'm boring now for sure. do i care, yes, wimper, cry, sob, wine and so on. LOL!
NOT!!!
So just for that i'm going to aqua fit class and i'm not going to knit. so there!!!!
JUST KIDDING AND I'M SURE ALL OF YOU ( 1 OR 2 ) KNOW THAT.

AGAIN.......

Well it happened again, I lost the pattern I was knitting ( the pink flamimgo) down the slats of the gazebo floor. It was in a plastic page protector and just hit the floor just the right way to slid down. Now it can join my knitting needles that are down there.
Hope they like each other or else there just might be some trouble down there.
Happy knitting all

PICTURES, BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

Colors, I love colors........

hopefully a shawl one day.............

HAPPY KNITTING TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD DAY!!

Pink yarn...........

Not knItting but.........

Sitting out in the gazebo while it rains softly and lovely. I should have brought my knitting basket out with me. Working on a shawl, not a lace one, that is next I promise myself.
Will I post a picture, I'm not sure, case who out there cares. LOL!!!! And it's work.

HELP!!!

I want to knit a beautiful shawl like i see on other knitters blogs.
i start, i buy the yarn, i try, i want, i don't
it's difficult when one has AHDD!
Ok, I'll try again, don't go away.
LOL,LOL!!!

BAKING BREAD

this is what i've been doing as well as knitting and playing with my ipad 3G.
Oh, and playing on line poker, so not much time for blogging.

At the lake villa library

Hello all I'm knitting with a great group of local gals. I have my iPad with me so I thought I'd say hi to my blog friends.
So, HELLO!!

FEBRUARY 26TH

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!

ANYONE?

HI ALL, IS ANYONE STILL OUT THERE? IF SO RAISE YOU HAND.
I HAVE NOT BEEN KNITTING MUCH LATELY, JUST GETTING OLD AND LAZY.
MY B-D IS COMING UP SOON.
LATER, (I HOPE)

R and R trip

this is the view from our room where my DH spent most of the time. He just wanted to chill.

And here is a picture of where i spent most of my time and lots of money. It's a casino, the Diamond Jo. it used to be a boat now it's a very nice new stand alone building. But still on the river.

I did do a little knitting until i started seeing specks then i figured it was time to stop. this is what i was knitting, it's another pair of "Carl's Cable Socks" using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino and size 2 DPN. I've made two a couple of years ago and just love them.

Since AT & T upgraded service I'm not having any problems, as i have in the past, Uploading pictures.
Happy Knitting everyone!!!

blog day

i spent time reading all the blogs on my favorite blog list. it's ok if i'm not on yours, i'll read yours anyway.
tonight i'm off to the library for "knit night". it's a nice group of gals, and i live just across the street from the library.

can u read backwards? what a beautiful book by Nicky epstein.

HERE THEY ARE...........

As promised here are some pictures of things i've knitted while not blogging.
I'm good at ripping out, and here i did it again. i tried frogging and lost my patients. this will soon just be a ball of yarn.
do not fret, i will reknit them into beautiful socks.

This is a shawl using Malabrigo merino worsted weight yarn. it was a kit that i won as a door prize at "Stitches" in 2007.
it took forever weaving in the loose ends. when i wear it, which i love doing cause it's so cozy, not many people comment.
I love wearing it to play poker up at potawatomi casino in milwaukee, wi. cause it's always so cold in the room.



A few knitted bowls, so much fun to knit these.

OH YES

I'M READING BLOGS TODAY

WELL

look at the date and no post for almost a month.
i guess it really doesn't matter much seeing i get so few
visitors anyway. what make a site get so many followers and
what makes a blog site get so few. that's an easy one. my site must be BORING people to tears.
isn't that interesting?

i guess that just gives me more time too knit, less comments to read and
answer.
i entertain myself all the time. I'm my best blog site reader for sure.

So where are the pics?

Can't believe it's been almost a month and still no pictures. it's because when i try and upload a picture form my digital camera i have so much trouble and sometimes it takes 20 or so minutes and even then no go. when i use photo booth, no problem at all but so hard to get a good shot.
However, i'm going to do it soon, i promise.
happy knitting.

this is what i'm working on now. a banky for someone special. photo taken using photo booth.

I DIDN'T FORGET

I'M WORKING ON THE PICTURES OF MY PAST PROJECTS.

RAINY DAY...........

So i'm off to the Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a little poker playing.
i know this has nothing to do with knitting, but i thought i'd mention it anyway.
I'm going to gather up some of the things i've knitted while i was away from blogging. Mostly socks, (of course)
so if your interested come on back in a few days to see.
HAPPY KNITTING!!!!!!!!!!
