Updates!

1st update is that my youngest is engaged!

Here is the young couple to be:


Aren't they just too cute!?!


Next update is Nina and Nathan's house is well on it way and that means just a couple of more months and then they will be down the street from us!




Next update is Kimmy is taking more classes to get her Bachlor's Degree!!




WOW I am surely blessed by all of my girls!



No onto the crocheting updates:

My All Shawl is almost complete. Here is the latest pics of it. Just need to add the lace and then the blocking.





Here is it fully laid out on the coffee table.



Here it is folded in half.


Working on a test neck warmer and as soon as I get the placement for the buttons it will be finished!


Here are the pre-pic of it:



It is actually a soft baby green, made in Bernat green yarn, but the photo doesnt show it that well. Better pictures to come!

Started on the Bombay Top that is in my September lists of To Do's. Still need to post pictures of the eye masks and i will be starting on a knitted cap for Connor to wear. My first knitted cap. It will be made of Sensations 100% wool in green variegated.


Already have used it to make a soap sweater, Kurt's still getting used to it, plan on making several of those. Very easy! Photos are coming of the soap sweater.



Knit up a rectangle (I used just the garter stitch, though you could use any design pattern) and then sew up the side and one bottom. Turn inside out and then insert your soap, stitch up the final edge and your done. As you use it the friction and hot water will felt the wool and it will shrink with the soap. I use it to soap up my wash cloth.

Some habits are hard to break.

Does give lots of bubbles! I love lots of bubbles!!
