Ok, I know it's been 6 months. This year has turned out busier than usual. I have been knitting full speed. I bought a 4 shuttle floor loom. I taught a class at Yarnside Gathering, my LYS. Mom's retiring. And work has been...well, work. (and that's all I'm going to say about that)
Here are a few pictures of finished objects to tide you over.
Hey, Teach , from Knitty. In Cotton Fleece from Brown Sheep. A few adjustments were made to the construction and the button bands. But I love it!
Inishturk from Lion Brand. Made with Galway wool.
Lorretto Vest, Knit Scene, Winter/Spring 2010. Made with my own handspun.
Snow Queen Coat, Fairy Tale Knits. Made from Cascade 220 Superwash. For my goddaughter.
As for the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, this morning they started finding tar balls on Pensacola Beach. So, it's here. I know that politics have made this even worse than anyone could imagine. And I don't claim to know anything about anything, but I will say that I don't understand why politics and bureaucrats have to get in the way of environmental disasters. We are a country of "fixers". Why is it taking so long to fix the problem so that we can get down to the business of cleaning up? Everyone who lives here, grew up here, or has some kind of connection to the Gulf Coast claims it as their own. I am greatly saddened that My beach, as I know it, will never be the same. And that's all I am going to say about that.

Did you make those?? If so - Awesome!! I would be tickled to death if I could just knit a plain scarf!! I live in Chattanooga and am looking into knitting lessons at Genuine Purl. Oddly enough, I have an aunt and cousin in Pensacola.
Beautiful work!
God bless!!
