Need to blog more often I guess. Have been knitting. Finished knitting the fulled bag I've been knitting. Working on the handles at the moment. Bag looks great. Used Noro Wool yarn, Kureyon, which makes it's own stripes. Pretty cool. Bought the yarn in Nova Scotia, Ca. Can't wait to full the bag. Hope it works in my front loader washer. I'll try just a square first to make sure. If not I'll have to try it at the laundramat or something.

Reading, R is for Ricochet, by Sue Graften. I like her books. She's going through the alhabet.

Taking two online classes, one on Digital Cameras, and the other a Franklin Covey type class called Focus, Achieving your highest priorities. Pretty cool classes.


So, I've been knitting.

Hi all,

Been knitting a fulled bag in Noro Wool. Makes it own stripes. Got 3 skeins each a little different that go together when I was up in Nova Scotia on vacation.
Couldn't resist starting it. Got it a little past halfway done. Then I'll need to make a square and try fulling it, and then do the bag if it works well.

Need to figure out if I can add pictures to this blog. Not sure.

Taking two online classes. One on Digital Cameras that I had to pay for, and the other a free class on Franklin Covey's Focus, a time management thing. Trying to get smart in my old age or something.

Haven't worked on the baby sweater, needed to take a break from it. I will get it done for late fall as they live in Texas.

Hi all,

Been quite a while since I posted. Haven't been knitting lately. I did take my knitting on vacation to Canada, and messed it up quite well while working on it in the car. Then I unknit the few rows to fix it, and then realized I had dropped a stitch and didn't have a crochet hook to fix it. Haven't picked it up since I've been home, as I came home with a nasty ear infection. Saw the doctor and he put me on an antibiotic for a week. Don't think that was long enough, because now a few days since it finished, I am now beginning to have my ear hurt again as it did when it started in Canada. Such fun.

Went to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban tonight. I love the Potter books, but this movie was not as good as the previous two, it did not follow the book very well at all. I was disappointed. Oh well.

So, I knitted and made a mess.

Gee, haven't written here for a while. Silly me. Very nice day here in the Poconos. Temps in the 70's.

I am working on my granddaughter's sweater, slowly but I am doing it.

We are planning a trip to Nova Scotia in June which should be fun. Will definitely take my knitting with me, especailly for ferry's.

The snow is gone, the forsythia is starting to bloom, and the greenery is up for the daffodils. We live on the north side of the of the hill, so things are late.

So, I knitted.

Winter has not let go of Eastern PA as yet. Cold, and extremely windy today. When I walked the dog I wore with my coat, a scarf, mittens, and hat. Thought I was done with those things for this time of year. Wasn't Spring started just this weekend? Oh well, such is life.

I have been working on the granddaughter's sweater. It's worked from sleeve to sleeve. Got the first sleeve the right length and next thing is to add the stitches for the front and back.

Been learning to life weights. I had gone to Curves for a year and a month, but then decided I wasn't getting in any better shape as the machines stayed the same. So now to move on to weight lifting. Found a gym today by looking in the telephone books and it's very close to here which is great. Need to call and make appointment to tour the place. I have been lifting dumb bells but that's not as safe as machines. I've been reading Power of 10 which is the slow lifting of weights.

Hope it warms up here in this neck of the woods soon.

So, I've been knitting.

Went to the Doctor on Friday afternoon to get the ear wax taken out of my right ear. Had to wait in the waiting room for an hour and a half. Good thing I took my knitting and got quite a few rows done while waiting on the baby sweater. Turns out I was next to the last to be taken into the examining room. And the last one to leave that afternoon at 6 PM. Only car in the parking lot. Well, one good thing was that I got a lot of knitting done. Sure was frustrating to see others being called in while I was still sitting there. So be it.

Think I will go get one of those Sourdough hard pretzels I bought a big thing of yesterday.

So, I knitted.

I am getting frustrated. Wrote this several times and can't seem to get it published.

Well, I am knitting again. Worked on the hat band quite a bit for the last week or so. Then last night I started a sweater for my granddaughter again. This time I'm knitting it in a size she will be in the fall, so it just may fit her when she needs it. They do live in Texas.

Went to the audiologist yesterday. My hearing is getting worse, but he things it might be wax, so I need to go to my doctor to get them washed out. Such fun. He says my loss is probably genetic.

We had snow yesterday morning, but it melted by noon. Nice thing about March.

So, I've been knitting.
