Practice Stitches.



Well finally the end of the week. I am so glad it is Friday. Tomorrow my Mother and I will finally go buy out plants for the Summer garden. My Brother-In-Law came over on Wednesday and tilled 2 spots for the Garden. I have been reading and practicing the only knitting stitch I know how to do so far since I started my knitting class last week. Of course I am posting a picture of my practice scarf I think it is much to wide to use as a scarf. This weekend I really need to push myself to clean my closet, bedroom, and bathroom. I really need a sanctuary, to relax and spend quite time after a long day at the most wonderful place on Earth to work. I am increasing thankful to have a job. Oh well I need to finish reading A Deadly Yarn this weekend. I have 3 other books from the Library that I need to read also 1 I am half finshed the other 2 I have not started all about knitting groups. This has been a very bad week for me as far as walking goes I have to meet my friend at all this week to walk this is very bad I really need to start all over again, I had such a great week last week. Posting pictures of the newly planted garden tomorrow.

Notions Swap


Well my knitting classes are going well went to the 2nd yesterday. My daughter went along and signed up for a class. I am posting a picture of the wonderful items I received in the notions swap.

I went on www.knittinghelp.com and got some help with cast on and I might work on the purl stitch this weekend. So far I the only stitch I have worked one in my class is what my teacher called the garter stitch. I want to give another thank you to my swap partner "Sewnsew" I received some great items, I will post a picture of the items I am sending to her tomorrow when I get a message that Sewnsew has received her package.
