I Do as Pinterest Says !

First you get your 'Garage Sale Opposed' Husband to Stop at the First Sale you see, and Completely luck out !!! Because they have exactly what you want and it's only $1.....go figure.


The lid was chipped, but I am not going to be using that part anyway ;-)

Introduce a few cans of Spray paint (that I always have on hand)


And Start Swirling the two colors on the 'Find' of the day !





Always keep by your side, a few helpers .....





Taa Daa !!!
A Yarn Ball TeaPot !


The idea is that now the yarn ball won't roll away from you or get carried off by 'said previous Helpers'


I must say, it's quite darling.


Me and my TeaPot shall travel from room to room to savor a little knitting time together !


Thx Pinterest :-))

On The Flip Side

I bought this Hand-Made Bag at a LYS, with good intentions ;-)


And what I really liked about it was the 'Inside' !!


But I had to make a few adjustments for this to work.


I changed out the Ribbon on the Strap and added a coordinating flap closure (since the magnetic closer was now on the outside of the bag)


Now the big pockets are on the Outside, which works for me. I also velcro'd an acrylic rectangular base in the bottom of the bag for stability !


My Knitting is inside and ready.... Where shall I meet you??

A Gift for a Loved One

This Project called for a 400 yard skein of Sock Yarn and this is the remaining little bits.


I am blocking the spirally thing!


Such gorgeous Colors.






This is the pattern photo of how Cool it looks. It was a pure joy to make, with only using the Knit stitch (no purling) I was able to hold the yarn in my left hand (Continental Method) and Knit like there was no Tomorrow :-)

One Fifth of a Sweater Done!





It's true, I am presently Blocking the Back of this Cool Sweater ;-)




It's Gorgeous, huh!!! I tell you I had a funky shape of a sweater before blocking....the left side was quite generous while the right is stretched to reach proper measurements...:-/ What is that about??
So I think maybe I will do sleeves next, not sure yet.
