It's a pair of socks!
I got a small package from my SP yesterday, a pair of handknit socks! They are beautiful and she did a great job! They are very soft and comfy!
My mom is very sick. She has viral and bacterial pneumonia. She liked the socks so much that I let her wear them!
Thank you very much SP -- you are the best!
I have some beautiful roving that I do not have to time spin. If anyone is interested please let me know. The colors are a deep purple, silver and multi colored. I believe I have some red as well. The fiber is Wool and Tencal I think.
SP Strikes Again!
Friday when I got home there was a package waiting for me from my Secret Pal. It was a great package...I received a ton of great items (all of which will be used). She made me a sunflower scrubby for the dishes. and with that came a plain scrubby with a pattern to make my own along with 3 different color cotton yarns to make it with! I got memo pads and cards (2 sizes) and a journal all sunflower themed along with the best item yet... a teach yourself to crochet kit! I think I have the best SP!!!!!
Thank you so very much! Everything is appreciated.
On Saturday, I took my Aunt Claire out for pedicures and lunch! It was her 76th birthday and we had fun!
More later....
Hello
Hi Everyone, I have been back for a little over one week and I am still having trouble getting back into the swing of things. Tonight is my first night back with the knitting girls at Yarns at Lacewings in Warwick, RI. I have a ton of pictures to show them. I discovered that I have the first SmartCard that was in my digital camera. I had to switch it half way through Venice. So I have pictures of Switzerland, Verona and Venice. Then one of the people I was with gave me dupes of the rest of the trip. So I can now make a complete photo album.
I am almost done with the claim form for the trip. I had all inclusive insurance for the trip and it covers the robbery. THANK GOD!!! I can at least get reimbursed for most of the items stolen. I don't think it covers the cash and euros I had in my bag though. Only items you have receipts for.
I started knitting again the night I wrote my last post. I am working on a lace shawl for my mother in some Helen's Lace of Lorna's Laces. It is coming out nicely. I have been knitting for 1-2 hours per night when I come home from work. I want to start a few other projects, but only after I finish this one.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll talk to you next week!
I'm Back!
I'm back! I had the most awesome time. Went to Switzerland - beautiful! People not so much! Verona, Venice, Florence, Piza - all terrific and beautiful. Monaco - gorgeous, small. Nice and Paris - Not so nice. I got robbed in Nice. My handbag was stolen with everything in it -- passport, credit cards, driver's license, jewelry, digital camera, money, etc... all gone. Good thing is I have insurance which will cover everything, bad this is I lost all pictures and my jewelry, which to me is priceless. Barcelona is o.k.
I have not knitted anything in three weeks! I am having withdrawals, but I did not take any with me on the trip because of the restrictions on trans-atlantic flights and since I have been back - I have been too tired.
I will share more later - I am too tired right now!
