and hope the problems

go too

this morning I found a message from

Svana that my blog had disappeared

so I've reset things

let's see what happens now!!!!

have a great day everyone!!!

interesting find

while browsing through Pinterest this morning

I came upon this...

found it interesting and somewhat surprising

my colours are the blues

 it sounds  like me

what colours are you drawn to!!!

got bits?

like these?

you can make some of these

or these baby granny squares

and whole bunch of them can make ....

well, whatever you want!!!

and of course

more flowers

can we ever have too many crocheted flowers????

well, I can !!!

for those of you who like tuts

I made one of the little bows up there

find it on top of the page with all the other tuts!!!

too toot!!!

HAPPY

VALENTINE'S

DAY!

this...

while I was doing this 

 

after I had done this

suddenly and out of the blue

!!!

it started doing this

it got really thick for a while

and so dark the night light came on

but somehow I don't mind too much

for I have this

on the table

and another pot of this on the other burner

so it can do this for a while if it needs to

                                                                             

it isn't going to last anyway

the temperature is going up in 24 hrs

so a little of this won't be too bad

so long as I have

this

:)

can you have too many needles and too much yarn....

greetings earthlings

I have come to take over the planet!!!!!!

:)

do you have one of these?

as a child I had one made from a thread spool and it made tiny little cords

now you can buy steroid fed ones

 I think with the large end one could probably make a small pouch if you used thick enough yarn!!!

 I have finally decided

(well I think I have

we'll have to see how I get on!!!)

what I will do with my

yarn dyed and spun by

Ruth

 

I found it on

Knitty

it's called

Clapotis

I've seen it around for a long time but never stopped to look at it

and I think it will suit the yarn

or is it the yarn will suit it???

at the very end of all the knitting you get to drop a whole bunch of stitches

on purpose

and it makes stripes!!!

I like dropping stitches

on purpose

:)

I also have this yarn that I love

so I'm going to see what it looks like in

Entrelac

and this yarn that I bought a few days ago

coz I couldn't help it!!!

found a really cool pattern for this

don't recall the name of it

you start with one stitch

add on with a Kfb on all rows

and then when it's wide enough

you make short rows until you run out of stitches

and then you turn and start again

and it ends up making a zig zag....

I should look for the pattern and link to it!!!!

edit

 here is the pattern

:{  :}

I knitted for two evenings and got this far

one more ball and that's it

it's very long and skinny

and it's wool so it's warm

very warm

but the weather is changing again

it's like a roller coaster here these days

and these are some stitch markers I made with some tiny buttons and jump rings

this one is made with a

cloisonne bead

hope all is well in your part of the world

stay warm and safe all

see ya!

a slight hiccup with the bracelets... :{

that just makes me sooooooo

mad

when I made the bracelets last week

I used silk thread to sew the beads on with

that is what I thought one did

I looked up several ways to make them and silk was mentioned

well

guess what

it isn't

the thread broke and the beads went everywhere

I was sitting at the time so most fell into my lap

gggrrr rrr

guess it should be linien or cotton of somthing other than

silk

BUT

I do want to thank you all for the nice comments about the

silly things

other than the silk issue

wish we could all sit down somewhere and make some

as well as teach the things we can do

 to those who want to learn how

and more importantly

 learn new things too

Oh well can't have everything

so I guess I'm going back to the drawing board

or

in this case

the bead board

gggrrrrrrr!!!!!

edit....well I'll be!!! a bit of noggin use and I found a solution...I have, for some unknown reason....yes, in my drawers...some button/carpet/crafts thread...stong and sturdy and brown, so it doesn't show up on the leather....hurray hurray...it works ....so no bead board meeting needed!!!
