Badly blocked clue #1 

close up of half of clue #1 

Oh ye of little faith!!

So you thought the mystery shawl would go the way of the mystery stole???!!! I tell you it has not- behold the completed first clue!!! (Roar of applause)

soo can anyone tell me how to get the buttons on the side of the blog???

So much for keeping current...

Ya know life just gets too busy sometimes. About the mystery stole along- great, beautiful pattern- I started it- I'm only on the first repeat of clue 2/3... The problem is not the pattern, it is the yarn I'm using. You see I have some of Handpaintedyarn.com laceweight- gorgeous colors!! It is single ply though and splits like crazy!! Part of the problem is that I knit english (yarn in left hand) and it seems to be "unspinning" the yarn- grrrr! So...it goes to the ufo bin for now- I'm starting the mystery shawl along with yarn I love!!!! It's some handdyed I got at the Maryland sheep and wool and there is just enough yardage- I'll post a pic (really I will) as soon as hubby remembers the DC from work... Hopefully the shawl will go smoothly?? I seem to have the disease CPS (Chronic Project Starter!)
Cheers

Time flies when you least expect it....

It's been well over a month since my first post!! Sorry for all of you who actually read this! Anyway, I've joined the Mystery stole along so look for progress soon! I'm currently undecided as to what yarn to use for this- I have PLENTY of laceweight but handdyed, solids, varigated all too delicious, maybe I'll just close my eyes and randomly pick one???? I hope to post some progress next week-whenever my hubby remembers the digital camera!

This was my very first knitting effort- pattern is by Debbie Ware- modeled by less than willing son #3 

The famous broadripple socks- knit in fixation! 

This is a sock from the six socks knit along (yahoo group). This is the cloverleaf sock knit with Koigu.

Wow I'm a blogger!!

Okay- I decided to leap into...what century are we in now??? Anyway, some of my family and friends kept asking me about my blog- which of course did not exsist- well here it is- exciting huh! My hobbies are Knitting, quilting, cross stitch, and a new love of spinning- so far just on a drop spindle. I'm fairly impressed with my first little skein of spinning- 2ply and all! I'll maybe post a pic when I figure it all out. Maybe all of you out there can encourage (not enable- no more enabling- I've been enabled too much and now I need to catch up) me to finish my projects as I am the self appointed queen of UFO's!! Hope to meet some new craft friends-we'll see.
