Short Row Fear - No More

I have been pushing my knitting lately.   I avoided short rows.  I did not understand or get it.   Now, I found

and it has made me love short rows.

I am working on a special project, will let you know what it is if I can create it.   OK

No more fear of short rows!

My Nasty Woman Santa Hat

Two Months till Christmas....and one Month to Thanksgiving...in the meantime we have a very important election date, November 8, 2016.

OK, the Political stuff is getting to me!   OK,  I know I am voting, Hillary!   I have had enough of this guy Trump.   I have now taken the TV off, the FaceBook Live Off and want nothing to do with the craziness.

I have been knitting alot to curb the craziness, I  designed this Santa Hat and love it!  Knitting brings joy in this hate filled world of Politics.

I started this on Friday and finished on Monday.   I truly had a happy dance on its outcome.

I made this for someone special and she is a very Special Talented Young Lady.   I sent it out yesterday to her out of town, maybe she will send me a picture of her wearing.

Knitting and Eye Issues

Knitting is a visual skill.   I pray next week I can keep knitting.  I have a eye appointment and my eyes have issues.   I have had it before, but I have kept knitting.  Knitting by the feel.  Yes, it is not easy but do you knit without looking at your work?  I can knit in the round without looking at knitting.  Yes, just plain knitting, no pattern work.  OK.  Boring.  Not really, it does calm oneself.  I have been working on many hats and patterns.  Yes, someday I will have them to offer.  Pattern writing takes time, takes lots of time.   Knitting today to enjoy life.   Knitting for others to give.   Have a great day!   Whats on your needles.

New Knittting to calm oneself

I have loved to knit since I was about 10...a long time.  It is my quiet place, my meditation, it calms me.  I heard today, so many people struggles with life, especially dealing with people, obligations and how hard it is to live these days and cope with it all.   How I do it....knitting.  Yep, it is calming, you are creating and relaxing.  I can not say enough, knitting owns me.   I love cables, bobbles and than fair-isle plus all the colors.   The  repeated stitches calms one inner self.  I can not watch tv unless I am knitting.  I go to a doctors office for myself or someone else, I need the knitting.

Are you knitting?

Are you knitting?  I am.  Not big projects, just hats and cowls with fingerless gloves.   Yes, knitting is the greatest relaxer.  Don't stop.  Enjoy what you are working on, don't let others comments ruin the fun.   I knit in lots of different places, I get lots of funny looks.  I hear often, oh, my Grandma use to do that.   Leave a message if you like.  Love to know what you are working on and are you making anything for the Holidays for gift giving.

Get a knitting.
