A UFO, granny love and a treat..........

Hi all! The Joplin Vest has stalled out. I started it here with such hope and promise and now it is the bain of my existence. I have run out of yarn on Row 31 of a 36 row project. Argh!!!!!!!!!! So it sits and I sit with my fingering hovering over the "purchase now" button, to buy that final skein or fasten off now and just deal with it unfinished. What do you think?

Next project up....Granny squares. I've been toying with a design idea for awhile. Here are the first few. I took these pictures about 5:00 yesterday afternoon , so the colors aren't true, but, oh well, you get the idea.

Here's my gift! Can you guess what it is?

I won a giveaway at Appleblossoms Dreams blog. I have been in love with this scarf since I first saw it here in her post. I love it even more in person. Thanks so much Astri!

Happy Sunday all!

The winner is........

Hi everyone! So sorry I didn't post on Wednesday. My mom went back into the hospital for a brief stay, but is now back home. Yay! I think, we're really on our way to recovery right now.

And the winner is......

Edited on Mon. 10/17.11:  knittingdancer received her package today!!! Yay!

I'm baaaaack!

Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for the well wishes for my dear mom. It was touch and go for awhile but this Monday, we finally saw some improvement and by today we've made leaps and bounds towards recovery. She is going to make a full recovery. It will take time, but thank goodness we now have plenty of that!

I have not really been working on any projects. I did finish 3 Red Angry Birds but didn't take any pictures of them. I finished one of the pigs from that same game too.

I have been thumbing through all my patterns and leafing through all my magazines, but I haven't gotten insspired by anything yet, soooooo I decided how about a giveaway?

I have a great packet of yarn that I tried to give away in this post. The winner never emailed me or contacted me again(Shucks!) So I am going to try and give it away again!!!!

Here it is:
3 skeins of RH Baby Sport and 2 skeins of Moda Dea Daisy.

All you to do to enter is: Leave a comment telling me you want to be entered and then please check back to make sure you know if you won or not.

The comments will be open from today October 6 through Tuesday, October 11. I will announce the winner on Wednesday, October 12.

Good luck to all! And thanks again for all the well wishes and positive support!

Blarney! It's a yarny give away!

Yarn Giveaway!
In honor of the upcoming St.Patrick's Day Holiday and mostly just for the heck of it. I'm hosting a giveaway. I was organizing my stash and had sooo many little yarny ends of skeins, that I'm just not getting around to using for one reason or another, so if you want this grab bag of yarny tidbits; put your name in for the drawing. I'll keep it open until Wednesday, March 16 at 5:00pm CST. Then I'll pop it in the mail for you on St. Paddy's Day(if I get your mailing address in time, of course) Good luck!

(All this yarn was lovingly cared for in a smoke-free home! I do have a doggie, but she dosen't ever get into my yarn!)
