Layette Set 17 for KnitWits

I have finished another layette set, which I turned in at last Wednesdays meeting. It's the last set that will go to this years distribution. Everything I make from this point now goes towards 2017. The year went so quick. I like how this set turned out a lot. I used a variegated yarn with long color changes.

And now for some Zoey news! Ruth came home from school for the weekend. Zoey remembered her and got so excited when Ruth came in the door. They played together a lot over the weekend. Zoey definitely loves Ruth.



Friday night I realized that Zoey is growing, as she should be. But I hadn't really noticed how much until I saw her playing with Ruth. They were having a spirited game of tug-o-war. She is actually bigger than all the cats, so I weighed her. She's now 20 pounds. She's gained 4 pounds since her vet visit 2 weeks ago. Whew! That's some heavy duty growing! No wonder it hurts so much when she leaps into my lap at full speed. She is 17 weeks old. We've had her 3 whole weeks.



On Sunday, my husband had to go to his brothers house for awhile, so he took Zoey with him. She got to spend a couple hours with Tripper. I heard they got along very well. Zoey has a new doggy friend. It is important to us that Tripper and Zoey get along so I'm pleased with this news.

This morning we have the second session of our Dog Obedience class. I'm looking forward to it.



Live long and prosper. \\//

First Finish of 2019

Image
Someone gave me some sock yarn a couple weeks ago so I decided to use some of it to make a pair of socks for the son-in-law Frank. His birthday is coming up in a few days. The yarn is actually more of a gray blue, but the camera would not cooperate. I'm just glad it was light enough outside to take pictures. It feels like this has been the darkest winter ever. It actually hasn't, but it feels like it. Decorative Rib Socks for Frank Pattern : Didn't use one Size : Mens size Medium Yarn : Regia 6-fädig Content : 75% Superwash Wool/25% Nylon, sport weight Color : Denim Needles : Circulars size 3 Started:  January 6, 2019 Finished : January 16, 2019 Comments : I used a stitch pattern I found in Charlene Schurch's book Sensational Knitted Socks It's a very easy stitch pattern and looks so pretty. I need to get these in the mail tomorrow. Live long and prosper. \\//

2016 Knitting In Review

Image
I was going to make a little collage of all the things I knitted last year and post it here with a review, but when I sat down and really looked at my Ravelry notebook, I discovered a collage is not going to work. I knit 73 individual projects in 2016. I am  gobsmacked ! Admittedly most all of them were small projects, but still...73! I have never knit that much in one year before, and I thought all year I wasn't knitting very much. Fooled myself, didn't I?  There will only be pics of my favorites. So, of those 73 projects, I made 12 layette sets (4 pieces each equals 48) for KnitWits. This one is my favorite. I also made 3 pairs of mittens and 1 pair of fingerless mitts, 1pair of socks, 2 adult hats, 14 doll outfits, and 4 doll hats. You'll find pics of everything but 3 of the doll hats on my  2016 Finished Knitting  page. I don't know if I'll be able to put out that much this year. I guess I'll find out. I am planning on doing more color stranded knitting for
