Lots of Photos, Not Many Words

In looking back at my last few posts, I noticed that I hadn't documented finished objects since May or something like that. Yes, I showed my fair items, but some of those had been finished for awhile, and some of them hadn't appeared here. Since the reason I started a blog was to document my knitting, here goes.

Artichoke Socks: This was a mystery sock from back in May. I finished them, love the yarn, but wasn't too happy with the way mine came out...yarn over issue that made the holes differing sizes. I have since figured out how to fix this, but wasn't successful when making the socks.

Boneyard Shawl: Finished this with the Knitgirllls spinalong/knitalong.

Wendyknits Summer Mystery Shawl: I made this out of The Sanguine Gryphon Eidos, which is wonderful yarn.

My first crocheted potholder! I took a crochet class and made this and sent it to the Princess. I know she was impressed.

My handspun Pogona. This Juliespins fiber was supposed to be a sweater, but didn't really want to. It made a nice shawl and I have some left to make into something smaller.

My first crocheted dishcloth!

My Daybreak out of Wollmeise. I wore this at Sock Summit and had compliments.

My Earth and Sky (Stephen West mystery shawl). If I'd known how this was going to look, I probably would have chosen different colors, but it's growing on me.

Two pairs of socks, both self-striping. This one has an afterthought heel.

This one doesn't.

Whew!

I haven't blogged about it yet, but I learned to crochet last month.

It's truly amazing, Twin!

Also amazing is that array of FOs. I know it represents a backlog, but still, wow! Impressive and lovely!

What I've Been Up To: Part Three. Missouri

Tuesday morning The Princess and I flew to St. Louis, rented a car, and drove a couple of hours to St. Robert, MO. My SIL joined the National Guard and graduated from Boot Camp on May 9th, so we wanted to be on hand to congratulate him. May 8th was Family Day, so we got to pick him up at Fort Leonard Wood and take him with us for the day. He looks very handsome and impressive in his dress uniform! The Princess and her cadre of Army Wives. Facebook is handy for making connections! We enjoyed meeting some of his buddies and their families and spending some quiet time, then had to have him back on post at 9:00 PM. The next morning, we went back for an impressive graduation ceremony. When that was over, we drove to a restaurant several miles out of town. The drive was beautiful and the restaurant was actually in a cave. The "shuttle" from the parking lot to the restaurant and "resort" was an old, rickety van driven by someone who might

The Great Adventure 2017 Part Eleven

Okay, we are heading into our last week and I should finish the narrative in no time! We left off as we were riding the train to Oxford, which was where we picked up our next car. Our B&B was in Stow-on-the-Wold, which should have been a fairly quick and easy drive. Unfortunately, our GPS again conspired against us and by the time we figured out we were indeed going in the wrong direction, we had made our drive into a considerably longer one than it needed to be. I hesitate to say that we wasted time, since seeing any place in England was interesting, but we did have to do some backtracking to get where we needed to be. We spent two nights in a very quaint building that was built in 1640. The narrow circular staircase and slant to the floors bore out this fact. Imagine carrying two suitcases up these stairs! We had heard good things about the Cotswolds and were looking forward to seeing some part of the area. Our first impression was that they are indeed popular with

Catching Up

It's been awhile since I've posted any knitting, but I have finished a few things. Let's see, I got it into my head that I had to finish my Cozy wrap before our trip to Ireland, so I could take it on the plane as a blankie. Well, I knitted and knitted, so much so that my elbow began to hurt (ack!) but didn't finish. I decided to take it with me as airplane knitting, even though the larger, sharper Harmony needles I was using could perhaps be a problem, but they sailed through security screening each time. (I love these needles by the way, in all sizes. I haven't had any problems with them at all.) So Cozy came with me, sat on my lap, and I finally finished it halfway through the trip. Then I decided that it wasn't long enough, so I packed it into my suitcase and planned to block it out larger after returning home. Well, I blocked it and now it's really long, but I still like it and use it to throw over my shoulders as I sit and knit at home. Here&#
