I made two scarves the past week or two. One was 10 stitches across and the other was only 5 stitches across and 5 ft. long. The 10 stitch one was blue, with both a furry yarn and a ribbon yarn. Ended up about 4 feet long. The 5 stitch one is redish with an orange furry one and blue, pink, yellow ribbon. I plan to send them to my granddaughter for Christmas. They live in Texas and it doesn't get chilly before then.

Can't figure out what to knit next. Maybe I should work on that hat that I put aside a while ago. Still working on the edge of that which is patterned. I have a larger head than most women, 23", so need to make it to fit me.

Got a new Planner. Took a Barnes and Noble free Class on Franklin Covey's Focus CD's. Helped me remember all the stuff I learned a few years back when I took coaching for a year from them. So ordered the new planner. Thought I was getting the right size but found I got the next bigger one. So, ordered a Binder to fit it. It's a bit bigger, but I find I like the writing space.

Anyway, try Barnes and Noble's free classes. They are cool, and you can learn lots. Taking a cooking class next. Classes start again at the beginning of Sept.

So, I've been knitting.

I finished the fulled bag and handle last week, but it's still sitting here, haven't gotten the nerve to put it in the washer yet. Wanted to try a knitted square first, but didn't have enough wool to do that. Frustrating.

Anyway, now I'm knitting one of those furry scarfs for my granddaughter for Christmas I think. It looks cool and feels so soft. I'm using a fun fur and a ribbon together to make it. It's basically blue with a little variation from the fur.

I ordered somethings from Franklin Covey and just found out it will take up to 3 weeks for it get here, as I don't have an address ( live in the country) and it has to come through the mail. Wierd. Can't figure out why it would take so long. I ordered a replacement planner that runs from July 04 to June 05. Of course July is gone all ready. Oh well. Sorry for venting.

So, I knitted.

I've been working on a fulled bag. Using Noro, Kuryon, 100% wool yarn, which is self striping. Turned out great so far. Knitted the handles too. Now I have to get up the nerve to full it in the washer. Scary. Wish me luck.

So, I've been knitting.

I'm frustrated. All ready wrote this post but it was taking quite a long time to post it, so gave up and am starting again.

Finished the Fulled bag that I'm making, although still working on the handles. Then I will full it if it works in my Front loading washer. We'll see. I used Noro Kureyon 100% wool. It makes it's own stripes which is cool.

Reading, R is for Richochet, by Sue Grafton. She's written a bunch one for each letter of the alphabet. R is as far as she's gotten so far. Started with A is for Alibi.

Taking two online classes. One is on Digital Cameras, and the other is a Franklin Covey type class called Focus, achieving your highest priorities. Enjoying them both.

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.

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.

So, I've been knitting.

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.
