Oh! I nearly forgot about the other sweaters. One used a combination of Noro and Cascade yarns, each wool, and the red one was made with Classic Silk cotton yarn.

While I was cleaning out a few spots in the house, I came across some of my wood carvings from about 20 yrs. ago. It was a fun and challenging hobby while it lasted and, then, years later scrap booking put this house in such disarray it was intolerable. Knitting causes much less mess so I'll stick with it until the A.D.D. forces me into yet another turn. Variety could be the spice of my life if it weren't for the "curse" but, "I'll get by with a little help from my, (uh... er...), friends". La da di da........

Stepping forward

One step forward - two back....I got side-tracked after my last post a year ago. Going forward now I've finished a few projects - a bulky wool sweater pattern that caught my eye using Vero yarn and now that it's finished I don't care for the way it looks on me. Maybe it would make a nice bed jacket if I can bring myself to rip out all that work and forget the time it took to make it. The yellow scarf seen in a previous post, "Good Intentions", somehow got finished last January in the midst of hospital visits after my 89 yr. old mother fell and had surgery on her skull. She bounced back to her old self at a moderate pace while I got busy once again with awaiting projects. For the green sweater, I used O-Wool, an organic light weight yarn. Maybe I should say a sweater is finished AFTER I weave in all the yarn ends, (or tape 'em to the inside due to my aversion to hand-sewing)
