 Finished my first class for the HPKCHC and it has been marked as completed.  I am excited for the next class.  I have several projects in the ready and hope to use some of my stash. I will post a picture as soon as I can figure out how to.

I am going to post some pictures of my scores from the LYS 2016 yarn crawl.  My daughter and I were able to do all 28 shops in 3 days. It was long days but a fun time. I didn't even spend at every shop.

Finally posting again

Well I haven't posted for a very long time.  I have been busy knitting though.
I knit/crocheted Christmas presents for all my family members and their SO's and was able to get them all sent off or delivered in time for Christmas.
I have also completed a Flax sweater for myself and started one for my husband.  I have made several holiday accessories since I gave away all of my holiday scrub tops etc when I retired.   I need to rebuild my holiday attire.
I am currently working on the Lluna shawl by Vanesa Polo and I am very excited to see how it turns out with the colors that I am using. 
Hope everyone is well and enjoying their fiber crafts.

My sweater

   I have started the ribbing at the bottom of my Flax sweater today.  I measured it with a sweater that I wear a lot and like the length so I know I will like the length that it will be when the ribbing is finished.  One to the sleeves next.  May have to put it on hold when I am on my road trip because I am also working on Christmas gifts, one down, one about half way finished and a lot more to go.  Glad I started now, maybe I will have them all finished by Christmas.

        Had fun on the LYS crawl.  Made it to all 26 yarn shops.  I will post pictures of my purchases soon.  I did not spend at every shop but I did spend more than I probably should have.  In my defense I purchased some of the yarns to make Christmas gifts for family.  I am going to be very busy between now and Christmas, that's all I have to say.  That's not really a bad thing for someone that has to have 3-5 projects going at a time.  Should be interesting at least.

PNW Yarn Crawl

   Finished the PNW yarn crawl today and then backtracked to Rainy Day Yarns because on Thursday I won the daily drawing.  I was so excited because I rarely win any of those type of things.  Today I had a good time with one of my sisters and a friend of hers as we drove to Amanda's Yarn Shop in Polsbo, Allyn Knit and Fiber shop in Allyn and Fancy Image in Shelton.  The two that were with me are not knitters or crocheters but it was nice to have them along and they seemed to enjoy it also.

   Now to figure out what to make with the yarn I got with the gift certificate that was for $35.00.
