Okay, well, on to the knitting. The weather here has been so strange, thanks to El Nino. Below freezing a few days, then in the 60s and 70s. It really doesn't make me want to knit!
A while back, I started this shawl.
The yarn is something unique I picked up at Sheep and Wool a couple-three years back. I started one shawl, didn't like it, painstakingly ripped back ... the yarn is thick-and-thin, much like something I would spin if I were being lazy or careless. I decided on a simple pattern, starting with 3 cast on, yarning over on either side of a central stitch. I'm up to about 130 stitches now.
Here it is outside, where it appears blue.
The yarnover spine down the middle (picture indoors, now it's purply again).
I'm slowly working on a hexipuff blanket. I really enjoy this project, but I don't attend to it often.
Pretty Kitty gives it her mark of approval.
Hopefully I'll see more of all of you, but if I must move to Pinterest, then move I must. Or is there something new everyone is doing these days, that I'm not aware of?
Molly measures my level of coolness, and finds it lacking.
Do you use Flipboard as an app? If you put knitting as an interest, some things appear there, but they sometimes refer back to Ravelry. Ravelry is still the best, methinks. Glad to see you are still here and knitting! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI still blog because it's where I can really express myself. Pinterest is no draw for me, I prefer pictures with stories, just pictures has no life. I guess I view pinterest as things I want to track down later, but they most seem to connect back to a blog?
ReplyDeleteI still blog, although sporadically this year. I've never gotten the hang of Pinterest. Reading blogs gives me a glimpse of how others live and craft. This year has been a real roller coaster ride and hopefully it will settle down and I can blog more frequently. I'll miss you if you move to Pininterest, so please stay. I think most bloggers realize that life gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Pinterest yet.
ReplyDeleteI like blogs too, where (real or not) there is more of a connection with the author.
It's been a tough year, but I've been spending more time writing and reading lately.
I took an unexpected break from blogging, due to several reasons...but I'm back too...I do host a Wednesday WIP hookup....I don't do Pinter St, but I am on Instagram...
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! I'm still here too, just not blogging. Things have been so busy this year, but I'm still knitting. On Ravelry I'm Andij101, if you want to friend up :) glad to see you back. I really only use Pinterest for recipes.........but still check my blog feeds regularly. We certainly have lost a lot of great blogs in the last few years.

In this manner my pal Wesley Virgin's adventure begins with this shocking and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.
These are the same methods lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and successful.
You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.
That's really because the majority of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.
Maybe this thought has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around seven years back, while riding a non-registered, trash bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his bank card.
"I'm very frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those types of questions, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
