The Prayer Cardi for Jim fit perfectly!

If you have been following my blogs, you know the story behind this sweater. For those of you who haven't read my past posts, this cardigan has an interesting story. My DSIL, who passed away a year ago in October, started this for her husband, Jim. Before she died, she…

Jozelynn's Prayer Shawl

Now, I just need to finish this current shades-of-blue prayer shawl and then I can in good conscience begin knitting the new Eiffel Tower!



The downer is that I lost my cell phone with all of my contact numbers! Yikes. I had to order a new phone and could not leave the office at all since I could not forward to… Continue

Hello!



I have been keeping busy at home fighting off a flu bug and knitting when I can and since this is mid-May in West Texas I am fully occupied at the office of our air conditioning business.



This weekend I finished knitting the front and back of the Lace Sampler Sweater in my previous blog. Huzzah! I misread the instructions and thought I was supposed to join both shoulder seams and knit the neck in the round. I love the way that has turned out and have one sleeve 3/4… Continue
