It helps take my mind off the pain. LOL. I appreciate your comment. |

Next project, Heaven & Earth Designs "The Nativity". I'm sure I'll be busy on this one for quite awhile. Sorry, coming in a bit late on this thread... Wow, congrats!!! I'm assuming this is the Lavender & Lace design? The Nativity is an ambitious project! It's over 1, right? If I may piggy-back on your celebration... I finally finished stitching the advent calendar for the DGKs about the middle of Jan. I have yet to put it together, though. After that, I started in on my afghan. I bought the yarn in 2005 when visiting my sister in WA. It's a bulky baby alpaca yarn. Didn't have any idea what I was going to make with it, but I fell in love with the yarn. A few years later I found the *perfect* pattern (a reversible cable knit pattern...I like afghans that are reversible!) but then started having grandkids to stitch things for. I finally got to a point last year where I could start stitching it and was doing a stitch-along with my sister. I knit the first skein and realized I needed more yarn...3 if not 4 skeins. I emailed the company and they said they discontinued that yarn but sent me a list of companies they had sold it to. Four pages of addresses! Sooo I started googling and emailing. I found one store that still had 2 skeins. WooHoo! I then mentioned it to a coworker and she suggested Ravelry.com. A lady there had one skein. YAAAAY! So, I started knitting away. Did I have enough yarn???? Yup! I finished it last week! I had about 20 feet of yarn left!!! lolol! Now I'm crocheting a variety of crosses with the intention of giving them to ladies at church. Not the best instructions, but I think I've gotten them mostly right. -- Joan See my pictures he http://ndjoan.shutterfly.com/pictures If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry? Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance. Unknown |

Been working on it a week, got 900 stitches done so far, and it's just the first row of page 1! This one is gonna take awhile. It being over 1 I get to use the thread shorter than I would on any other project. It's also the first project I've ever decided that it would be in my best interest to graft the fabric first. Glad I did, sure makes it a lot easier. Keep on knitting! |
