Here I am again. I was visiting knitting blogs and saw one
where she put something in her blog everyday. Well, not
sure I will everyday, but why not?

It is quite cold and windy today. It was sunny most of
the day but it is night now.

I am slowly working on the Tilted Duster sleeves that
I had to frog. Not many rows a day, but a few everyday
anyway.

So, I've been knitting

Wordless Wednesday

I just got an answer to my question about the Tilted
Duster. She said, sorry I don't remember her name, said
maybe it said increase each side of the sleeves. I reread
it and sure enough that's what it says. Now I have to take
out two sleeves down to the ribbing. Such fun. Guess it
helps to reread and reread directions. Silly me.

So, to frogging we go.

Saturday Sky

The sky is quite a cloudless blue today. Cold and clear I
guess it is. Temps around freezing or a little less. The
driveway is fairly clear I think, but haven't been out.



I need help from those of you who have made Tilted Dusters.
I am working on the sleeves. Using the biggest size 48,
I had to increase 1 every 6 rows, 11 times. Then it says
I should have 64. Since I started with 42, and add 11 I would
only have 53 or so. NOT 64. Is the pattern wrong? Or did
I read it wrong? Have you made the tilted duster? What did
you do. I tried the numbers for the smallest size and that
didn't give me the number required either. What did you do,
as the pattern continues with the number it says. HELP!
What did you do? Is it just my pattern that's wrong?
Please leave me a comment if you know. I don't know
what to do. Hubby read the pattern for me to see if I
did the wrong thing. He thinks the pattern is wrong.
HELP PLEASE!



Ok, this is a washcloth I started last time at knitting group.
Haven't worked on it much. I have the bag near the place I
watch TV, but have been reading during commercials lately, not
knitting. Love the colors of it. It's just peaches and creme.



Been house bound the last few days, due to the icy driveway. First
it snowed, and then it did freezing rain. It made a mess of the
driveway. We live on a hill with the road down at the bottom.
So the drive is long and hilly, and icy this week.

So, I've been knitting, but frustrated

Snow and Saturday Sky

A snowy morning, it was snowing when I got up late. We have
maybe an inch or a little less. Hubby ran the snow blower. He
said it was at least nice to do it in the daylight. LOL



This is the bottom of those trees that you see the tops of in
the Sky picture. So you could see the snow.



This is how far I've gotten on the Tilted Duster. Most of the
knitters at my knitting guild meeting on Thursday night had
finished the sleeves and were picking up the bottom of the
backs and front for the duster part. I am nearing the end
of the sleeves, so then I will put together the back and fronts
and then try to pick up stitches for the duster. I might sew
the sleeves in first, but we will see what the directions say.



This Wednesday I got a card from my Lys saying that I could get
20% off an order placed this month of my birthday. So, Thursday
I was in East Stroudsburg at my knitting group meeting, so afterwards,
I stopped at my LYS and bought this yarn and 2 knitting magazines.
The blue wool is Cascade Yarns, The Heathers, although the dark
blue doesn't look heathered at all. It is Peruvian Highland wool.
The other skein is cotton by Ty-Dy from Knit One, Crochet Too. The
color is Blueberry Field, and it looks blue and green. Not sure
what I will do with either, but felt like buying yarn since
I could get 20% off.




Snow, it seems like every time the driveway gets clear, it does
something again. We've had ice a number of times, so it is nice
to just have snow. Although rain may follow tomorrow. So hubby
did run the snow blower. We didn't need the snow turning to ice.

On Thursday at knitting group in the morning, I started a wash
cloth. Haven't knitted on it since. Might later. Then Thursday night
went to knitting guild down in Whitehall where we all worked on our
Tilted Dusters.

So, I've been knitting

A Late Wordless Wednesday

Saturday, cold Sky, icy, and update

Not a nice day. Supposedly it's mild. Doesn't appear so
here. We did go out, and slid down the icy driveway. Then
we went to KFC and got take out of chicken. Yummy. Car came
up the icy driveway fine, we have all wheel drives.



This is the icy driveway taken from the balcony where I take
the Saturday Sky pictures. So I turned the camera down to
take a picture of the driveway. Almost looks normal, but
there is half inch of ice of on it.

Hubby drove his Subaru down the icy thing, and we slipped
and slid until he went onto the grass, which at least allowed
him to steer. The roads weren't bad. I don't suppose I will
be driving down the drive until the ice is gone.

Having been sick for almost 2 weeks, I think I will be going
to Church with hubby in the morning. That's assuming we won't
hit the tree we almost hit today.



This is the Tilted Duster Sleeves. I do several rows on one, and
then catch up with the other. So even though I'm not doing them
both on one needle, they will still be done about the same time.
The one weird thing is that the one on the circular rolls up with
ST. stitch rolls up, and the one on the strait needles don't roll.
Odd to me. Nice though.
