Time for an update!

Well, I certainly have been slack with my posting!

Mean Green Goes Pink Night was a great success. Daughter Carol and I attended the volleyball game, and we both think it was the largest crowd we've ever seen for Pink Night. One of the high school girls won my pink and green tree. Adeline told me right from the start that it was her goal to win that tree. It makes me so happy when something I've made goes to someone who truly loves it!

I haven't made much progress on my Concentric Rectangles doily. Dave and I have been busy shopping and working on finishing up our room addition. We're trying to get as much done as possible before the holidays.


I brought my Addi 22 pin knitting machine out this week so that I could start making Christmas ornaments for the Drama Club fund raiser.

Of course, I wasn't satisfied with my limited yarn choices, so I went shopping for some more. These work up pretty quickly, and the kids at school are very excited to see what color choices will be available. I purchased the shatterproof ornaments on clearance last year thinking that I would get them all made up over the summer. That did not happen!


I've been wanting to knit a Christmas stocking for several years, and this Bukkesprang Stocking from Arne and Carlos called to me!

I finished the toe the first night, 6 rounds the second night, and only 2 rounds last night. I'm really enjoying it so far. I have a whole series of Christmas stockings I'd like to knit. Why? Just because!

Happy New Year!

I have plans for the new year, plans to use up as much of my yarn stash as possible!


I purchased shatterproof ornaments from Hobby Lobby after Christmas. I love clearance prices! It doesn't take long to crank out a cover on my Addi 22 pin circular knitting machine. 


There is still a demand for fidget hedgehogs. There are yarns that won't got through my machine, and I have quite a few odds and ends that will only work with small projects. These little cuties fit the bill!

I'm still enjoying making gnomes. These will be set aside for next year. I think I might use them for a fund raiser for the school drama club next year.

Now that Christmas gift giving is over, it's time to get back to tatting. There's so much I want to do!
