Noro Scarf

It is 11:33 P.M. and I am still up posting and knitting. I am working on a Noro Wave Scarf by Allison VanZandt from Simply Sock Yarns. One skein of the yarn goes a long way. I hope to have it finished tonight so I can take it to my LYS for display.

I need to get back to my knitting. More later.

Arrabella's Sweater

I just finished my granddaughter Arrabella's sweater. She is 7 monthes old and this is my first sweater. I think it turned out really nice.

I just heard from my Hogwarts swap pal (Celestina Crookshanks) and I am now ready to start the swap.

I'm not a big blogger, but I guess I will have to get used to it.

I also have a shawl started for my daughter and I hope to finish it for her birthday October 4th.

I need to finish reading my e-mails before turning in for the night. I have to get up at 5:30 am for work.
