cotton cardigan welcomes summer

cotton cardigan
with lovely
square buttons

working against
the warming
weather

love the bit of pink-
a loving nod to
daughter
blue- a wave to
the ocean 

happy belated birthday

happy birthday
one day late
you are a beauty 

friendship buttons

i have a friend
and she had
buttons

her buttons
were lovely

and she is such a dear friend
she shared her buttons

and now i have a beautiful
button bag 

blog is most thankful
for the lovely present
needles are thrilled
to have a beautiful new home
all is well in blogville



needles are as coveted as yarn
i collect needles for almost the
same reason
the beautiful colour
feeling of comfort
the memory of the very
first knitting needles
ever held

brittany needles
for me...
perfection
i am always searching for
the lightest
like ivory 

blog angel

my blog feels lonely
and a bit frightened

my blog angel has returned
to her home..far, far away

and my blog ponders her
fragile future

we love the knitting
and the knitting words
and the knitting photos
are an exceptional
bonus
putting all elements
in a lovely package
this will take some time
a very big thank you to
my blog angel,marlo 

poncho surgery

surgical team takes their position all eyes and paws are at the ready this is an experienced team and the surgical implements have been gathered

(not an easy task with paws)

the wound is isolated

and the knitting dr. has a last overview before the first stitch is removed from the needle a closer view zooms into the problem area
-this could take some time-

the silence shrieks "can this poncho be saved?" the nursing team answers with strength and steady paws
(in this blog paw is a universal term)

surgery encounters some additional problems that eventually lead to some unknitting and some wonderful reknitting

poncho perfection-the happy ending

thank you grace!


















and who could forget to thank my wonderful surgical team...

birthday blog

today is my birthday
and i love to knit with green
i am sharing a few of my green
projects
i hope you enjoy them
i find some chocolate makes everything more enjoyable
hmmm....chocolate and yarn
perfection




one of my favorite socks
sock candy yarn
delicious to knit and wear




















another yarn called candy
this cardigan sports vintage buttons
a gift from a very dear friend














and finally lettuce
a cashmere blend yarn
produced a ruffle scarf
i love the way this scarf looks and feels
it was a birthday gift for a dear friend

unknitting

marlo has decided to stay with me until after my birthday
the best treat a mum could want

we are enjoying a great amount of knitting...
marlo has a sweater ,poncho,and now a scarf to re-knit
i am so proud of all the re-knitting
the tireless spirit of i can knit this again-and perhaps again and create my vision of my art

i am a very proud mum
and knitting mentor

another green sweater

i love green
i love knitting with green
new green yarn is so exciting
i feel pleasure on many levels as i watch the greens take shape
my bamboo yarns are a delight to touch
i think this cardigan will be a favorite
it will be a welcome addition to my museum of green 

in search of yarn

car trip
knitting,coffee,conversation
in search of yarn
and lunch
 

marlo's first sweater-puts on a fancy face

the sweater that greeted me this evening has taken a turn toward fancy -i am so pleased to see my daughter embracing new knitting delights-and she seems to attempt and knit with such ease-i am so very proud here is a little something she worked on after dinner...

and if you think the right side is impressive just look at the inside

stitches not too tight
in fact
just the right tension

and now i see a pink wave growing in beauty
and coming my way
all very exciting
