Alive and Well in Hot & Humid Virginia

Knitting News:
I have been attempting to knitting for 17 months now.  All I can say about that is.....time and patience!!  Both of which I lack, however, I have to admit that a lot is learned from screwing up!  It's easy stuff, I just do not pay proper attention to what I am doing. period.  That said, here is what I have accomplished:

This is Kiley's sweater.   It's called Bolero and the pattern can be found in Creative Knitting Make it this Weekend. 
 

 Although Kiley appears to be unhappy with her new sweater, she was just sleepy and not thrilled that MeMe was trying to take her picture.  Not to mention it doesn't match her outfit.  The yarn I used is Filatura Di Crosa Zara. It's a merino, so soft and yummy! This was my first project that required blocking.

I'm addicted to making these scarves with Starbella yarn (Nightclouds above) and Sashay yarn (Mambo below),   I have at least 10 skeins of this stuff in my yarn stash and I keep buying more!
